I get up every day. I go to work every day. I listen to music that I like every day. I make music. I make things every day. I write code every day. I manage people every day. I care about my family every day.

The hardest thing for me every day is actually caring about anything. Because I don't really care. I pretend to care. But I don't really.

Because I don't want to be here. I'm just stuck.

This really resonated. I wish I knew a term for "everything is just fine (objectively great, even), but I couldn't care less."
Hi kjax,

Listen, if you want to talk, I'm all ears. You can email me or you can even call me. I don't have answers. I really don't. But I'm more than happy to talk about questions. Or anything, really.

nihilism, apathy, depression, aloofness, stoicism, detachment, listlessness.

Take your pick. Stoicism is what I use to describe that, and to personally for finding peace
