Firstly I apologise if this is not a suitable place to post. I post here because I spend quite a bit of time on this sub and I think that maybe it would be the best place to find people who resonate with the feeling.
I've been, to a relative degree, living in a somewhat minimal style the last 18 months or so. I have very few possessions, most of what I used to own I gave away or sold. The bulk of my belongings are used for cooking. I don't watch much TV or stream, though if there is a good movie being released I'll see it - this is the same for video games generally. I don't have much entertainment outlets because I don't really feel like I need one to be honest.
Preamble aside, I feel like I'm growing extremely tired of modern society. I have active accounts across most social media - FB, Twitter, IG - but when I pick up my phone to check them I put it back down a few moments later. The issues people talking about on them feel so insignificant and pointless. People getting outraged or causing drama over topics that do not affect them in the slightest. This is largely the same on non-social media sites I'm on. Reddit is usually fine, obviously it's (rightly) going through some heat with the FCC at the moment, but the content is entertaining and informative, though I don't dive in too deeply. I usually get my 'fix' of reddit in about 20 minutes per day. What websites do you people browse outside this? Sometimes if I'm looking to do something online I find myself just refreshing newspages endlessly. I feel like I don't have anywhere to go online, which is a pretty dumb thing to say considering the bulk of material out there.
And outside of the internet, what do you folks do for entertainment? Reading certainly doesn't take me as it used to(I used to read obsessively until I hit my early 20s). I may see a book I'm interested in now, try it for a week, and never pick it back up.
I'm sorry that this is pretty much a rant, I'm just hopeful there are some among you who do or previously have felt this way before, and found a way to fill a gap.
