I doubt most of the world know more than a few handful of names and probably have busy enough lives not to care.
So that is meaningless.

Not depression, more the thing is ahedonism, which they don't know if it is chemical, some psychological block or physical, which ever it is there aren't enough cases to justify the research and they don't have a treatment for it.

I've been playing Eve for years, largely because it's one of the few games out there that provides a challenge and doesn't follow the formula, "follow prearranged path, execute action, continue along path(s), gain sense of achievement, buy new game." From time to time I burn out on Eve after having tried most of the possibilities. I go away for a bit, come back, resub, repeat. The only other games that I really enjoy and come back to consistently are the complex grand strategy games like Victoria 1 and 2, Hearts of Iron, etc. You could try those.
Boredom is one of the modern world's most powerful motivators I've recently learned. We bend over backwards to avoid it, even if dealing with it would be far simpler. It's the reason for much of the world's ignorance, apathy, general nihilism, and perhaps even malnutrition. When we are not stimulated or entertained we either frantically search for something to return to that state, or we feel that we lose some kind of meaning or enjoyment in life, when the reality is that meaning and joy are created or found by us and what we choose to place them in or into them.
There will always be books, and I've found there are too many to read in a single lifetime, even if just read once - and the best ones deserve to be read more than a single time, or perhaps in their native tongue, which takes years of preparation and brings an entirely new reading.
Explore the dying world of music which few people really actually delve into these days. Most people don't realize that art music is still alive, let alone the intricacies involved in it, and tend to shirk it for arbitrary reasons: ignorance, boredom, difficulty, lack of perceptual grounding, etc.
Some people, when they find that there's something missing in the world, create something to fill in the gaps. Gaps they fill, not only in the world or in others, but in themselves that they feel must absolutely, unequivocally be dealt with. It's from this that meaning and purpose are derived. And it's a difficult path that takes dealing with adversity, boredom, and even death, but those bring more meaning still. It's all about choices and the perception of choices.
I was once told that the two most important questions ever asked were Plato's "What is a human being?" and Kierkegaard's "Why should I get out of bed in the morning?" I've realized over the years, that those questions are one in the same, with the same ambiguous, protean, amoebic answer that you have to nail down to the floorboards daily with spikes of sweat and sinew and brain matter just to even get a glimpse of it. You may search and search for it and never find it, but one day, unexpectedly, there it is again, come out of hiding to slap you in the face to remind you that you're a fool and that it only matters when you choose to be open to seeing it. |

I believe you are walking into his trap there m8. Any further direct argument from you further cements his point in the eyes of rest of us.
Interesting topic you have here. I would like to echo the point already made by others here: it isn't about the magnitude of your achievements or how glorious it is in respect to the social norm. Personal happiness, I think, is a state of mind. Maybe you have to figure out what that is.... For some people it is simple like finishing painting a tree house..other getting a degree....maybe some find fulfillment in getting recognition/respect from other people (which in my opinion is the case here, but I could be wrong)
My point is that only you can figure out what makes you fulfilled. Wish you the best. |

Jenshae Chiroptera wrote:I have been getting tired and bored of EVE lately.
Didn't log in all of last week. Logged in yesterday and was ganked then last night our POS was robbed. Just makes me so weary. I tend to get bored and move on to something else as soon as the intellectual challenges and learning are mostly over. For example, I got to the top level of amateur ball room & Latin dancing before quitting that, while my art got to a point where people were hanging it on their walls but in that case I knew if I kept practising it, I would become technically sound but never exceptional as I didn't have that feel for it. Archery? Won a tournament, did culling, bored. I could bore you with the list of different things that I have done, probably easier to list the things that I haven't done. I have no interest in getting married, having children and such. I had a job that remunerated me well enough that I paid off a relative's farm for them and grew up in a family that was challenging on one side and wealthy on the other. Jobs too, get bored, dissatisfied, fired or quit. I have never felt a sense of accomplishment. I used to read about 250 books a year, some 40% of them were non-fiction. People bore me, they have the same pet topic, the same lives they live week after week (I do this too, since I opted out, so not saying I am better than them) and most of them just regurgitate the media.
So what is next? I don't see any games that call to me any more. Just version # of game Y. The mechanics are all the same, organising volunteers to do things in MMOs is a nuisance (I have run a large and successful group / "guild" before). I have done most things in EVE, made final products from PI items, I have positive standing with a NPC null sec faction, I have made things, mined, PVPed, et cetera.
Anyone doing anything interesting that they can recommend?

Seems you are looking for something to do in life in general, not just Eve.
Within Eve, I'd suggest helping out newbies. The tutorials still aren't the greatest, and they still have tons to learn when they are truly new.
Write your experiences into your own book or "Isk" type information dump. Focus it on the subjects you know the most about, and detail why you feel your opinions formed and then provide facts to back them up. Visit every system in Eve (I hear it takes two months). Create a program that is a hybrid between Evemon and EFT that allows users to put together a ship fitting and then shows them what skills they need to train to fly that exact fit (and if it is possible at all in the first place). I realize that EFT does this, but having a program that does that and then creates the skill queue's etc like EveMon could benefit a lot of people. Heck, make it web-based.
Outside of Eve: Learn to work with metal and stone. Make small ornate display pieces that use copper, brass, and silver. Incorporate semi-precious gemstones into the piece (brass tree, jade leaves. LOTS of them). This of course is a heavy startup fee. If you want cheap-er, get a Dremel or similar tool, some hand size pieces of Jasper (not JaspeT, JaspeR) or Agate, a five dollar box of diamond carving tips, a tub of water, and learn to carve and polish stone.
Beyond that and the other suggestions that people might make, examine your reaction to each suggestion. If you find you are making excuses for every single one as to why you can't, then you need to look a bit further into your attitude/state-of-mind. It doesn't matter what people suggest, if you believe you can't do anything, you're going to find you are right. |

yeah, but can you fight? i mean, really fight for your life should the situation call for it? and i dont mean just physically.
training so many styles usually amounts to nothing. i would recommend dedicating to a philosophy, for a long time. what you describe is a sign of being in too many places without a purpose. it sounds to me like youre not short of resources, opportunities and community involvement. you may need to look deeper inside to see what you really want. one way of doing this is to dedicate to something (that you may not be a huge fan of initially), and work hard to get better at it. doesnt have to be a martial art...maybe just an art.
my kung fu training, my gf and my puppy are the only things that keep me going sometimes. my career is rough (and rewarding), but my heart isnt in it. im trying to see these moments as crossroads instead of dead ends.

I have worked with wood, even got to a point of doing joinery, which is very precise as you use no glue or nails.

I find that the different styles complement each other. The Thai-Chi is very effective at absorbing and deflecting attacks while setting up for the Thai-kicking boxing offensive, for example.

Seems your unhappy with your loss, and quantify your in-game stuff with to much importance. Else if Iam wrong you clearly dont have enough ISK to care about loses.
and if you do have to much ISK, then you need to let go and learn how to have "fun".

in theory. but when a 250 pound brute is rushing you, our pounding on you, or his buddies are about to stab you from behind, 95% of what you know from the other styles will go out the window due to anxiety. the key to retaining knowledge in your muscle memory is actually through specific breathing patters and massive repetitions. which means not so much variation. in addition, all those styles teach different philosophies to engaging with your opponent, which is ultimately confusing to the simple brain required for physical survival (i.e. not the frontal cortex).

I am fortunate in that regard. When I am in a fight, I suddenly relax and just watch myself do things, which is where the scary lack of control stems from and in most cases, most thugs haven't a clue about fighting. You can usually dislocate an elbow, shoulder or break something and such before any of their buddies can react.
