Is there a name for the feeling when you all you want out of life is to hunker down and eat pizza and watch movies but you also want to break new ground in your profession but you also want to quit society to live in the woods but you also want to go explore the world forever

Ennui.

“Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.”

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

I’d completely forgotten that word existed, and now that I’ve read it I’m shocked that it hasn’t been used far more often over recent years. Perfect! Thank you.

Inside Out 2 had Ennui as a character, very enjoyable.

So did Zoolander. The name didn’t make much sense there though.





ADHD.

A Diet of Hors D’oeuvres?

All Day Had Dinner

Arbitrarily Doing Humorous Deeds

Always Doing, Hardly Done.






Unrecognized potential that is constantly squashed by the burden of a capitalist society that uses you for manual labour.


It’s called burnout in its mid stage I would say


I seldom have the energy to want to break new ground, but I sure do want to disappear into the woods a lot.

Tech is like that. We’re aware of the newest developments (which used to be cool and exciting) and now it’s depressing and scary.



Either “the duality of humankind” or “cognitive dissonance”. Or both, I’m not a cop.


I may or may not have a pizza in the oven right now that I will be eating the entirety of in one sitting…


I call it 😐

I call it hhhhhhhhhhhhhh



Life.

Welcome to Life, the new interactive experience that will grind you down and kill your dream. Now a Microsoft copilot company!


Probably depression.



Is it ok if I want to do all of those things EXCEPT the “profession” thing? And if so, what’s the word for THAT?


Yes. It’s called Hunkering Down and Eating Pizza and Watching Movies and Daydreaming About the Rest.

And rest api’s



Space explorer. Your own self-sustaining ship, forest optional, which you use to explore the world forever, very far away from society.


Existential crisis



suppression, maybe


Selbstentfremdung
