Some people aren’t depressed They’re just stuck in a life they never chose

r/

Wake up
Go to a job you don’t love
Sit in traffic for 2 hours
Smile at people you don’t care about
Pay EMIs
Scroll reels for dopamine
Sleep with anxiety
Repeat

And they call it stability

No one asked you what you actually wanted
School told you marks define you
Society told you marriage will fix everything
Instagram told you you’re not enough
Parents told you to play safe
And somewhere between all this you lost you

You’re not lazy
You’re just exhausted from surviving

The system wasn’t built to make you happy
It was built to keep you obedient
So no
You’re not crazy
You’re just awake in a world that wants you numb.

    EXACTLY! Same thing EVERY day! All we can do is pray and hope. No matter how hard you try, no one will appreciate it!

    Everything I was taught growing up, everything I was prepared for, was completely thrown out the window when I actually finally became an “adult”. I wasnt taught to live or have a future of my own, I was taught how to fit into the old society, grew up, and its all full of shit.

    And it shows how selfish people are, when youre a child and you say i wish I didn’t have to go to school, older people tell you to enjoy youth because once you have to work you wish you could go back . Like so you know life is not fun as a adult, then why did you bring children into it? Telling children life is going to be hard and then selfishy still bring them here

    I will never thank my parents for bringing me into this world lol
