/r/Adulting is full of probably very depressed people posting about how it sucks to be an adult when actually it sucks fo have depression

@joaopinheiro that’s why it’s important to have community and networks. Online and off.

The thing irking me at the moment is the lengths people go to fit an entire house into a van and the glorification of that.
All while wealthy folk are buying up all the housing to add it to their investment portfolio, as they see it as just as a common sense thing to do.

@skinnylatte “Financial trauma”? Like, experienced financial hardship/being poor and that bc of that someone would be afraid of spending?
-
@boby_biq I think everyone has some kind of financial trauma of some kind. If you grew up poor, you might still feel like everything is going to be lost if you eat something nice once. Or you might go the other way and really develop shopping addictions. There’s a lot of people in the frugal lifestyle who have scarcity mindset even when they are rich, sometimes to the extent of ignoring social connections completely or writing off people not like them

And yes, @MayInToronto is right that there is a huge overlap between adult life and figuring out how to deal with loneliness. I’m not dunking on that. I’m saying that everyone can do better with a bit more introspection. I think the adult loneliness epidemic is global, and going to get worse.

@skinnylatte Thanks, I just didn’t know what it was, also re reading my reply it wasn’t super clear.

@benx van life! Interesting diy project, completely ignores classist aspects of law enforcement harassment of people in van life (depends on which you are)

@[email protected] I’ve done some introspection and decided it’s more a “structural” problem.

@boby_biq many people are! I am! We all are to an extent!

@watcher also!
