You ever play a video game where you turn on infinite items and health and it suddenly is super boring?
That can happen with life. I bet that’s why so many billionaires are crazy.
Stuff doesn't make us happy, people do. It's always been like that. If we spend less time with people, in person, we will be less happy.
- People are the best and worst part of existence
  
  If you got the right people, you can min max the experience
- Also nature. It's clinically proven that living your life surrounded by barren concrete fucks you up.
  People like having pets and growing houseplants, just cuz, and both have been shown to do a lot of good, mentally. But we really should be bringing nature into our cities much more than we do right now.
  
  I live near seattle. A friend who grew up in texas visited recently and he was shocked at how many trees were around in the city, and at how clean the air felt
Anon is missing purpose
- A lot of us are. It's hard to invent your own purpose. Was probably easier when purpose was thrust upon you (grow or find food or you'll die). I'm not saying life was better in the past. We live in fantastic times but it comes with different challenges. Finding purpose in life is a very real and difficult challenge.
And this is why people get hobbies
That's what happens when your life is handed to you on a silver plate. Working, struggling a little, raising a family, taking care of a house and other stuff keeps you busy and gives you purpose. But it could just be mental illness in this case, we don't know.
