There were so many things i used to do as a child and early teenager that now i am unable to. I used to be able to draw all sorts of things. I could easily come up with lyrics. See things differently etc. I would look at a flower and see a strange organism with meaning in every petal, but now i only see a plant like any other. It's almost as if i've lost all inspiration, curiosity, motivation, and innocence. Nothing surprises me or amuses me anymore. It's so hard to use my imagination when i have so many worries in my head and everything is so predictable. It's like too much information has stopped a part of my brain from working, an artistic and spiritual part that is very important, and i didn't realize that until now.

I have become more analytical and self-conscious at the cost of not being what people would consider crazy enough.

I've been struggling with this for a while now, and it feels like everyday it gets worse. It's so frustraiting.

But that's not all, i've also noticed this a lot in society nowadays with an increase in atheism and people spending more and more time on their phones and pc (myself included), artists being shunned, superstition being shunned, and we just keep seeing the same shit everyday, movies being recycled, people can barely come up with anything new without copying another so on and so on.

Back when i first saw adult coloring books, i thought... Um.. this is kind of strange. Why would they make "adult" coloring books? Why not just buy a normal coloring book? I understand now. And i see why it is a thing. Because it would be embarrassing for an adult to buy a regular coloring book but even an adult needs that important thing that they have as a child and lose over the years.

I just wish it wasn't so late for me...

Everything in your comment is you making your own problems. You want the world to operate the way you want it to and are angry because it doesn't. So instead of accepting that what you believe is fundamentally wrong (such as superstitions), you blame everyone else. You live in a bubble, plain and simple.

And if you can't grasp why people are accepting science over devoting their lives to (x) religion that would most likely end up being a fruitless endeavor post-death, then you clearly haven't matured as you would like to imagine.

If you didn't understand what i was talking about you shouldn't've said anything.

You did not, at all. So please stop posting. I made a serious topic. I don't have time for your bullshit.

Oh, kinda like how you always post your bullshit on my threads? Ok.

Kinda like all the bullshit that's ever come out of you.

Wow, what a clever comeback.

Bro, you deny empirical evidence because you're a cognitive dissonant child. One such example is you denying archaeological evidence that humans originated from the African region.

And I'm here thinking thinking "this dumb-ass made a thread about having too much knowledge." What a joke.

First of all, i didn't make this thread to discuss where people originated from. Something that nobody knows for certain.

Secondly. You're an idiot for still beliving that humans originated from Africa, but alas, this thread is also in a way about belief. You have every right to be an idiot.

Third. Do you want me to block you like Drecker did? I see you looking for his attention left and right despite knowing that he blocked you, and it's adorable. The many times you've said he's a beta male that likes being dominated, and how much you insist in people coming from Africa makes me wonder if you actually fantasize about being dominated by large black men.

I understand your point OP.English is not my first language and I am bad with words so I cant express my opinion properly. But this is great topic

There is nothing like being small child .You really see things differently.

Now this is just but manhole to me but when I was kid it was whole universe ,entire world for my small soliders toys.

You must be registered for see images

I like when I was kid and I believed in vampires , witchers and all those myths and legends.Now it sucks because I know its not real. Things were leaving bigger impressions on us.

All things around me were looking bigger from trees and stones to steps and roads.I could notice literally every crack on the road that crack line served as road to my small toy cars. Now I dont even notice those things and things around me look so small.

Luckily video games, movies, comics/books still leave great impressions on me and I think they will never stop.

Lol, there you go again denying archaeological evidence. Yes, it's a certainty. You just can't accept reality.

Go ahead, it would save me the headache of reading your cancerous comments. You really think I'm losing anything over you blocking me? Lmao.

Except I've never insisted on anything. You put those words in my mouth and you drew the conclusion about me wanting to be dominated by large black men. How you made that sort of connection is beyond me. If you're trying to confess and come out the closet, well now's your chance.

Maybe your racism against black men stems from an inner desire to be dominated by them. Yeah, it's a common thing actually. I think you just need to admit that you want it.

It's such a shame losing that part of us as we grow up, earn responsabilities etc.

I'd give anything to *be 15 or 16 again :/

This is just a personal thing. I feel more sharp than ever. I feel as though I'm evolving through an ever evolving world. Maybe you need to get out more?

That might be one of the reasons. I barely get out of the house. But the thing is, i can't seem to find any reason to. Like, i don't know where to go. Plus i don't have a car or anything so... yeah... it really sucks. But hey, that's good that you're still sharp :p

No wonder you're so detached from reality.

Yes its really sad to be honest to lose that part of us ( I don't know how is that thing even called).

Btw I dont know what you like or have interest but for me playing video games about things I like is greatly or better say completely awakening that child into me. Its great feeling.Maybe you should try that or maybe its case with me I dont know.

It could be that you're organized and know how to moderate playing video games. In my case video games have been a part of the reason why i've lost imagination, because i used to play games way too much. I used to like drawing and crafting before. I wasn't like a pro or anything but i was at least pretty decent and i enjoyed it, and that is one of the things i wanna do again but i just can't think of anything and don't have the motivation.

Maybe if i organized myself and got out more often, stopped using the internet i would regain some of what i've lost and gain new ideas etc. but ugh, i've let myself fall so low that now it's difficult to even get out of bed sometimes >.>

Stop living in the past, i guess.

I think you super misconstrued your childhood, just sayin.

That's... Almost good advice. I mean... You're kinda right, i should move on from the past. Once i figure out how that is, given my circumstances.

At first i was like, what? Misconstructed my childhood? But you know what. Come to think of it, maybe i did. If it wasn't for the many mistakes i made in the past i wouldn't be in this position.

I use to draw, too. Use to love drawing...I was that smart kid that could draw but got straight E's and D's...cause I was incredibly non-conforming to society.Stopped drawing when I was 20 years old.

I said misconstrued, specifically, not misconstruct...but kind of the same thing. Some people over-exaggerate about their childhood. I know I did in some ways.Lots of twisting.
