It's really important to stay active on things outside yourself and to at least spend some time outside most days.

This is my personal opinion. I think it doesn't have to be a short term fix. If you are curious enough and open minded you can find a long term relationship with God that doesn't contradict verifiable truth as long as you are willing to question collectively accepted "truths". For me, Natural theology has been one of the main foundations in my path to get closer to God. Understanding that physics stumbled upon the Sp…
I've read 9 years of philosophy. Its never happening. It gets worse than you know. Not only is the doctrinal god not real... not even the Stoic thiest god more valid than agnosticism. (Epistemology) It gets worse: There is nothing that says the words of human are more valid than looking to nature. There is 0 way to factually chose between them. (Epistemology) It continues to get worse: Circles aren't real, they are a…
Well, I'd say any serious non-delusional thinker would be a nihilist to some degree.
There are plenty of good advice what to do. On the other hand don't do: * Doomscroll on your phone, reddit, whatever. Social media is not your friend. * Self medicate. Some commercial drugs are bad enough. This includes overeating. * Get stuck binge watching. Try things (if you can). You never know what you happen to like.
That video did not really include self-medicating (except as screen time can be self-medicating for boredom and tiredness); I tend to self-medicate anxiety by simple logic games (picmi, sudoku, kmines — all but the last also avoid failure) which wastes a lot of time. (Drinking water seems to be a somewhat less harmful form of self-medication; it has similar sensory benefits to eating — not as attractive as sweet, salty, fatty foods but it seems somewhat similar — and distraction but overdrinking water seems more difficult.)

I would NOT recommend dating apps, you will most likely not find a real connection there and given the circumstances it might give you anxiety you don't need. I have had a similar path and situation lately and some things that have helped me are group activities like playing sports (I play soccer), group gym activities (I attend a strength and conditioning class) and most recently Bible study (I became friends with a…
Coming from a moderate muslim family, my life actually got a huge upgrade when I realised God doesn't exist (at least the way religions describe it).

I'm agnostic, not atheist. There can be a God, but I don't see him writing any messages in the sky. I def don't think the doctrines given to us by old men are god. (Also, I try really hard to stay away from contemporary philosophy because most people are academia, and academia is awful. I genuinely think they are subpar, but mostly because they are indoctrinated with platonic realism and that permeates/infects them.)
You should work on your reading comprehension skills. Everything you have written is a complete non sequitur. It's useless to copy/paste words from an LLM when you barely understand what they mean, and you are fooling nobody with your self-professed "9 years" of knowledge. Perhaps yesterday's commenters were right, and HN should just bar all new accounts from posting entirely.
To get things out of the way: yes it is hard being alone. But it is also hard to be with someone and is very hard to take care of kids and family and such. And it is waaay harder to be with wrong person. There are no easy roads in life and being single is one of the easiest. Now I’ll focus on practical advise: - gym every day. No excuses. If you don’t know what to do or lack motivation- get a personal trainer. - besi…

You just mad that I already knew those ideas. I didn't even disagree. You know what the word agnostic means right?
