How do you guys cope with it? Genuinely curious to see how people cope with having shitty ass lives.

Been dealing with that a lot lately and quite frankly I just need something to wake up for y'know?

It's not hopeless. You're still a white male alive in the most technogically advanced civilization in human history.

Or at the very least, not a jeet.

This might sound like a boomer answer but...
Work. Work on anything to take your mind off of existentialism. Get a hobby and if you aren't easily motivated do something to spite your enemies.
Or you could just take ssris idk. That's what I did

I've got "hobbies" (read, copes) but it doesn't seem to do much for me.
I'm trying to find some suitable employment for my autistic ass, it's rough.

Taking stock of the important things in my life. there will always be stuff you desperately want that is out of reach but taking a second to look on the stuff that brings me happiness, even down to the smallest little pleasures, helps a bit. It's easy to lose perspective, even a shit situation is full of joys that are absolutely not garenteed in life.

Going outside under favorable weather conditions helps for me. You don't even have to walk around, just find a place to sit and relax for a bit. I think the stale air of an office/house has more of an impact than most people would imagine.

Did you wake up in a bed in a house, this morning? Do you have food to put on the table for dinner? Do you have a job, soul-sucking though it may be? Hopelessness is fine to indulge in, occasionally, I suppose. But, think of all the blessings in your life, starting with the biggest: you are alive, today. I give this advice a lot, but a gratitude list can work wonders. When all else fails, do something good for someone else. Helping others, even in tiny ways, helps the soul and gets us in contact with the people around us. Community breeds hope.

It sounds ridiculous and cliche But, Stop giving a fuck about what others think. Build your own world around you with things that make you happy. I’ve peaced out from society in general, have land and surrounded myself with things that make me happy, which are drastically different than what much of society would consider their happy place. (Or maybe not with everything going on now) . I rarely leave my property. I don’t have people in my life I don’t like or respect and make no excuses for cutting anyone out. Some people find solace in community, others (like myself) from being alone or with just your immediate family and animals makes them happiest.

Why do you have to work for someone else? What do you love to do? Start your own business . Not everyone needs to fit into our societies box of normal. If beating and robbing gang members and drug dealers makes you happy, do that. It would probably afford you a decent living.

Nobody else can tell you what will make you happy. Just be honest with yourself about who you are and set your personal goals accordingly.

This may sound like a shitpost response but.... try taking a benadryl if you haven't already.

JUST ONE though, not a whole bottle.

I don't know if its just me but yesterday I took a benadryl to help me sleep. It had the opposite reaction: perking me up and actually clearing my head and making me feel better than I had in a long time. It was like a weight had been lifted off me.

How that happens from an allergy medication I have no idea.

If it works for you, awesome! If not, at least you have a bottle around for if you need it.

Are you actually homeless? Go to a church and tell them you want to make an honest attempt at getting a job/housing. If you're not strung out then you're like a unicorn that they would love to help.

If you're using then stop it, retard.
