  • Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

Would it be better to try to smile and literrally try to be happy and imagine myself being happy or should I just let this apathy run in my veins?

I think the idea is if you think positive, you feel positive and you do positive. The toughest part is thinking positive stuff consistently as our mind can go down a dark path so easily.

The concept of fake it till you make can be a starting point to your recovery of feeling better about yourself but I guess you have to be careful because if you get used to faking your happiness all the time, I don't see how that's any difference to apathy in the end.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. its suppose to be for bpd (borderline personality disorder) but i personally find that it can be good for general use as well.

I often go around smiling, but inside I'm crying all the time. Its a lie we all do, and often its best to hide our suffering, the outside world don't understand our suffering. I try to look on the bright side of life, sometimes, even that is sad and painful.
