The whole world feels fake and gay. It feels like all the colour and character has drained out of the universe. I've felt like this since at least 2016, but it's got way way worse after 2020 as well.
When I go outside and walk around places, even in beautiful nature, everything just feels... flat. I don't know how to describe it. Everywhere I go and everything I do feels like I'm watching it through a Youtube video, rather than experiencing it in real life.
I also notice other things, like how photographs are so much worse these days. Look back at photos and videos from the 2000s and they look so much higher quality, more vivid and real. Look at photos/videos from the 2020s and it almost looks 2D. Just completely soullless and fake.
I don't know what's going on anymore, /misc/. I feel entirely cut adrift and disconnected from the universe. I'm starting to think the world actually ended in 2016, and everything that's happened since then has been unreal. Just a simulation, a pale imitation of the old, real world.
why 2016?
2016 was the year when everything got crazy and chaotic. The whole world went to shit from that year onwards. All the old rules and logic that I felt defined the pre-2016 world suddenly became irrelevant. I held out hope for a couple years afterwards that it was just a blip and things would go back to normal, but 2020 and all the covid bullshit pushed me over the edge and made me realise things were permanently fucked.
That's how it was in my case too. I wonder if it's because we're in our 20s (I assume it's the case for you too), or if something bad really did happen in 2016 or around that time.
It’s when I turned 18 and graduated. I had an intense dread and now I’m a neet
Its not you it really is 2016, in 2016 I was only 14, and I noticed the world declined from that year. Its like any year past 2016 feels like an alternate reality.
The weird thing is 2016 was actually an amazing year, but at the same time like a minute after 2016 everything was never the same, and it just fell down and down and down and now we are here. I often see 2016 as the last good year i had
Trump and brexit. Simple as
Why does everyone keep on saying 2016 was the start of everything going to shit? Its scary how accurate it is.my life turned upsided down, when that year started, nothing feels good prior to that year.

Quality of life became shit, Entire family split over financial reasons, health declined and many other personal reasons.
It did not get as worse as this.
Yeah, 2016 I got divorce-raped. Not a fun year for me.
I should keep a journal, maybe 1 time a month with notorious events. I can never think back and attach a date to an event, but my memory is decent. Just never really needed and alarm clock or calendar for very long.
You should
With each passing year, i feel like my future is looking bleak, i don't have the same hope or drive as i did, when i was 15. Now im just lost. All i can think of is somehow starting a job to support my family, because idk what i want to be, i dont have any interest or passion
Same for me 2016 was the best year of my life. when 17 started and went on it turned worse and worse, and it didnt stop being worse.
Something must have happened in 2016 that most of us felt one way or another
maybe propaganda? or what?
I cant quite tell, not much changed from 2014 from its apex in 2016, for me. And then 2017 felt so different from 16, 18 felt like gloomier year, each year following was like repetition of mediocrity.
I cant quite tell, but anon makes a good point that also felt the same for me, colours faded, sun became harmful, people became lost, almost like they have lost souls. its like walking in a land alone with nobody that reacts to stimulus.
i found myself once yelling at a colegue why he is so indifferent and passive at anything. i said "Yell at something, react something! dont just say "it is what it is".
My bad for ranting, i cant find words, all i know is that all following years will be like 2017 just on steroids, and keep getting worse.
it might be dp/dr. I had this for a year or so and it sucked. Now it's gone but I won't gonna lie I changed forever around 2016 or so and sometimes I have literal schizo moments randomly. Like, I start hearing voices, I see shit, but it didn't get much worse so maybe it's not full-blown schizophrenia

You quote everything and yet do not define anything or explain what you mean, you are no better than an npc reading text.
Imagine yelling at some normie over internet memes, like some tranny.
>Le gray sky UwU
No game.
Without context it would make no sense to you. But i know what i mean, we have shit salary, the promised increase never happened, inspection tripled our work due to colegue's idiocy (different Colegue) , and we have more of it each year while also being bound by buirocratic nightmare that nearly equals to what Byzantines did.. also, inflation bumped gas double and prices also doubled.
And his only response to that is "It is what it is".
if you are unwilling to fight, or in any way react to the obvious worsening of your life i will consider you less than human. Now go back to /gif/ and fap to tranny threads. your way of speech disgusts me.
>if you are unwilling to fight, or in any way react to the obvious worsening of your life i will consider you less than human.
Instead of strategizing and gaming the system you blow up on normies like a troon. Do you consider yourself less than human
If I recall the LHR (CERN) was also activated around 2016.

No shit i took a major decision that changed my entire life around the end of 2016… sketchy swiss naggers are playing with time a little too much…
Everything has been downhill since 2012. I'd say 2017 was my worst yeah though.
That's because a monster is here.
Nature itself. This world. Rejects him.
It's afraid.
2016 was the last good year of my life, not sure if it's a coincidence but I feel it too
The vibrations are plunging hence the vibrancy of this world is diminished.
So the earth needs a vibrator? Is this lack of vibration the reason the ringing in my head is louder?
You are dependent on your external world for satisfaction. The external world is shit, so your internal world is also shit. I don't have that problem. My strength, my energy, my life force, comes from inside me. Therefore, the external world is irrelevant to me. I could be in a Soviet gulag and still have perfect internal peace. I'm not boasting, I'm trying to get the wheels in your mind turning.
This guy gets it. The only way out of this world is inward.
You're both two halves of the same coin
Elaborate
This.
Love the gif
The internal light, the resting place, the happy place, the spiritual heart, is the place where we drain our power and unlimited energy.
Meditations on our spiritual heart, breathing meditations, and sun bathing is key to achieve perfect peacefulness.
Like the burger anon, you can be in gulag and still feel at peace. Very true.
they will try to stop you, they can't tho.
I recognize 100% of what you are saying. I just wanted to say I feel alive in the world again after many years of feeling exactly like that. And I just went out in the city again, like I used to do many years ago when everything was still good, and noticed how objectively shittier everything has become. It is not just your perception, it is real. But there IS a way to bounce back from the slump, it appears...

I see what you mean OP. 2016/2017 were the happiest years of my life. Everything being silly expensive nowadays also doesn't help. But I'm recovering. Watch as WW3 starts when that happens. I'm confident it will get worse before it gets better (or worse)
Flat earth homosexuals are still in the denial phase it seems. Pathetic
Anon, I´ve been where you´ve been.
Take this advice, it may save your life.
Take Ashwaganda. It´s an Indian root powder. It is known to reduce Cortisol, the stress hormone, and also raises testosterone.
It takes 1-2 months to start working, but once it does, everything feels real again.
At least way more than before. I feel like I´m in the moment again.
And whatever you do, don´t take ANYTHING your psychiatrist tries to prescribe to you.
It will destroy your brain.
And also meditate.
Meditation is probably the biggest fucking factor when it comes to this, and combined with Ashwaganda the only way out of this state of reality.
Godspeed.
This ashwagnda, do you take it? what did it do?
It calms me. It stops the constant racing thoughts in my head.
It makes me feel the moment, the now, more.
Usually I feel kind of detached from reality, but with Ashwaganda, I feel like I´m part of reality again, if that makes sense.
I used to go on walks, and be all in my head. I didn´t even consider my surroundings or anything. Just constant overthinking and detachment from reality.
After I´ve started taking it, I walk around and feel more grounded, I walk around the streets, and look at the beautiful architecture of my town, I look at the ducks in the park, and can really focus on them.
I couldn´t do without it anymore.
And to think I went into this highly sceptical. But it really works, at least for me.
Sorry for the late reply

The world has been fake and gay since 9/11
I'm not a zoomer. I'm 27 years old.

Yeah, a zoomer. I figure anyone born after '95 is a Z.
Agreed.

If you were not a fully sentient being watching 9/11 live on TV as it happened you are a Zoomer
I was fully sentient when 9/11 but I was playing Mario 64 rather than watching the TV. I can remember that day and exactly what I was doing.
only NPCs take until puberty to achieve sentience
You're a retarded millennial. The world actually went to shit in 1992.
Not true, 1991 was the most important year bar none... it's the year I was born and for that simple fact alone nothing matches it.
1998 was the beginning of the end. The year they started to build CERN. It took them 11 years to finish, still the intention of building is enough to shift the world, since they will be switching it on 11 years later. Some quantum mind fuck.

>like how photographs are so much worse these days. Look back at photos and videos from the 2000s and they look so much higher quality, more vivid and real.
Because believe it or not, limitations actually make substance.
I feel you. I've become indifferent to whether things go good or bad, but at the same time have hope and care; it's hard to describe. I too think that 2016 was the last good year.
It was fun to watch Trump dab on these assholes. And Alex Jones and Richard Spencer weren't banned from YouTube. Once Trump won, the alt-right fell apart, Covid happened, and my woke country became even more woke than it already was (mainly in regards to hating white people and tolerating trannies). I still think we're living in interesting times that will define humanity. ChatGPT and Russia's invasion are arguably 10x more important than any invention or geopolitical event in the last 100 years.
It's apathy brother, lack of emotional responses and fucks to give. It's a natural response to this degenerate world we live in, you can see how shit things are and can see how shit they are going to get. I feel like this quite often, it's easier said than done but make some changes, even if you don't get any instant gratification, keep pushing and you will start to see a change. Chip away a little each day and you might wake up one day having turned a corner.

What the fuck happened in 2016 because I've read many times that it was the year where everything changed, plus the same thing happened to me as well
This is when western powers started using their 1 trillion dollar popaganda machine ( developed for war ) against people in the west. White people basically. They are attacking whites with demoralization.
Exactly this. '12 was Obama's Smith Mundt revision allowing military propaganda use against US citizens and their first production was Sandy. Floyd was another, etc etc.
The world actually ended in 2012. Remember that countdown ticker?
>What the fuck happened in 2016
Reddit's favorite year
2016 is when the israelite stopped pretending, and unleashed their legion of their good goy golem upon the masses without giving a fuck about appearances.
That too, it seems they have completely given up trying to hide it.
Civilization peaked out. Your witnessing a decline in your homeland and then a regeneration will happen elsewhere.
The timeline shift that made everything feel fake (which I tend to place at 2015) hit the major urban centers and metro areas much harder. If you can get yourself to a smaller town - not a suburb but a relatively isolated place that still has some people and businesses in it - you may be able to experience the strange feeling of traveling back into the pre-2015 version of reality. It's something I've been able to do a couple of times recently.
So, that is my suggestion to you. Go to some beautiful English village whose inhabitants rarely if ever venture to the city, if only just to visit. Keep an open mind and gauge the vibes. Good luck fren
you put to words the feelings i have from 2020 at least
The reason why you perceive the world to be different and dead is your brain. You became old and disillusioned with life. Don't worry, it happens with all of us.
I remember meeting someone in 2016 right before shit hit the fan. I met them recently for the first time 6 years later, it was like a completely different person. The last 6 years have been absolutely fucking crazy.
you might need glasses
You can see so much crazy stuff online now that you wouldn't often see in a lifetime before.
This is the cause, sensual numbing.

The world was and always will be horrible for the self aware. If you were happy with the world before, one of the following must be true: you were a child, you were not self councious, you were ignorant of reality, you were pampered and protected.
In fron of this reality there are only 2 choices: break under the pressure or build your own shangri-la. The fight is always about having trustworthy people at your side, a home and money. Even in hell, you can live in paradise, but not without hard work.
Anything else is utopic thinking, no different than any other form of delusional thinking. Create your heaven or die in the malestrom.

The world reflects those who live in it, and as a people, we've become very dark indeed.
have you tried jacking off with your opposite hand?
Unironically study NDEs and realize that there actually is an afterlife and that we are eternal and will go to heaven unconditionally when we die, and that life is like a video game or a simulation and you actually chose to come here, and that the meaning of life is to learn to love and be kind and thrive here despite how hard it is in this world.
Here is a very persuasive argument for why NDEs are real:
It emphasizes that NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and when people go deep into the NDE, they all become convinced. As this article points out:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist
>"Among those with the deepest experiences 100 percent came away agreeing with the statement, "An afterlife definitely exists"."
Since NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and they are all convinced, then 100% of the population become convinced that there is an afterlife when they have a sufficiently deep NDE themselves. When you dream and wake up, you instantly realize that life is more real than your dreams. When you have an NDE, the same thing is happening, but on a higher level, as you immediately realize that life is the deep dream and the NDE world is the undeniably real world by comparison.
Or as one person quoted in pic related summarized their NDE:
>"As my soul left my body, I found myself floating in a swirling ocean of multi-colored light. At the end, I could see and feel an even brighter light pulling me toward it, and as it shined on me, I felt indescribable happiness. I remembered everything about eternity - knowing, that we had always existed, and that all of us are family. Then old friends and loved ones surrounded me, and I knew without a doubt I was home, and that I was so loved."
Needless to say, even ultraskeptical neuroscientists are convinced by really deep NDEs.
>unconditionally
this reminds me of the snake saying to Eve "you won't die".
the oldest snake's lie.
Yeah but NDE only ever happen at the same very time that your brain is dumping MASSIVE amounts of chemicals/drugs into your body so odds are everybody's NDE is the same trip you gone on as you actually die.... I.E. you trip balls off of DMT and other psychs while your organs shut down and cell death begins.
You're depressed.
Things are getting bad because we are coming closer to an important date. ~30AD was almost 2000 years ago. And many expect the return of the King.

Its because youre getting older and youre supposed to be building a family but instead youre walking around by yourself getting more depressed each day that you arent building positive memories with wife and children
Pretty much this. Life begins to decay when you stop nurturing it.
>no no noo you don't understand you have to be sad because you aren't breeding and having responsibilities and being a wallet to a woman!!!
dumb fuck breeding NPCs on LULZ. KYS you obnoxious homosexuals.
Seethe. You deserve love anon.
Again more obnoxious shaming. It's like you homosexuals come out of a fucking factory of homosexuals.
You're a literal NPC who points fingers at other people not following the standard life script. Love shouldn't be conditioned. I GIVE myself love, 100% unconditioned, purely because I'm me, and you will NEVER be capable of this, because you're an obnoxious, stupid little NPC.
Sorry, yes I agree with that. However you should give yourself enough love that you can share it with the world. Life gets much better from there, in my opinion. Closing yourself off from the world isn't the best way to go.

This isnthe real true true, if you think it's rough now wait until your in your 30s
The 30s is when the fun starts if you sacrificed the time and energy, worked hard, invested wisely, and took controlled risks to build a sustainable system and secure a steady stream of income.
If you procrastinated in your 20’s then yeah 30’s will be shit.
Everything you described is the life and lesson learned and gleaned from somebody who was able to come from a rather safe and sheltered life. Yes ANYONE can achieve any number of those goals but as the March of time goes on it becomes increasingly unrealistic to achieve any of those goals... I for one grew up and was raised poor, I spent the most formative years of my life raising myself and my younger siblings, none of those goals or ideals were imparted or imprinted onto me, I was too busy just surviving so for me in my 30s life us absolute shit. I mean interpersonally my life is beautiful and I love it but outside of that it's living hell

The world did in 2012. Terrence McKenna was right. But not in the way he thought it would.
What are you going to do about it? Can't you see that this is an opportunity to prove things to yourself about yourself?
If you believe in the Lord you can see it's all going to shit but you don't care as you believe in the Lord.
2012 was the starting point, turns out the Mayans were right after all. The world ended back then and we've all slowly been realizing we are in a hell dimension ever since.
Same bro. 2013 it happened, but I was deep asleep. 2017 it hit hard. Now it’s every day.
Make great money, beautiful wife, loving family yet here I am facing blackpills on here daily.

I know how you feel OP, people feel fake to me more and more with every day. I've started reading more than ever in recent years, even started reading the bibble just out of pure boredom. I'm not religious in any way, just find some of the stories in the bibble interesting. it made me realize that we should find things that feel real to us instead of letting the fake stuff getting pushed in our faces. I don't know if it helps, but I hope you pull through this horrible world and do okay for yourself.
That’s depression fren.
>Look back at photos and videos from the 2000s and they look so much higher quality, more vivid and real. Look at photos/videos from the 2020s and it almost looks 2D. Just completely soullless and fake.
I can explain this.
The "digital" camera and "mirrorless lens" are responsible for this as well as the internet. Photography was not a "normie" thing to get into. It took money, patience and time. Sure, there were the disposable cameras of the 1990s and early 2000s, but real photography was difficult. Until the point and shoot feature where everything was automatically adjusted for you, it creates the same robotic look. There is no variety in pictures because, as normies do, they do not know how to operate their fancy new cameras, nor how to get depth of field or change lenses. Good photography is still a thing. What you're seeing is a sea of "auto" feature pictures.
Confirmed. Something strange of an unknown nature had to happen in 2016 because i've, like many here, the same feeling that everything feels false, discolored, just as you said, it's like seeing and experiencing the real world and feeling watching YouTube, people feel feel ridiculously more NPC than ever but in my case unlike some anons separating the aspects of my personal life and even the global aspects of the feeling i still manage to get the same vibe that something is seriously wrong ever since.

There is a theory that says that since they restarted the LHC July 5th 2022 we have forked again into another dimension, making our memories all split up again, creating another Mandela effect (anomalies) where some remember shit going into shit in 2016 where as for some other it was 2012.
Same for me bro, 2012 was the beginning of hell timeline. In 2016 i got out of hell dimension. Right now im just traveling and it seems to get to a better dimension, however shit feels more and more chaotic around me but not inside me. Time for instance IS FLYING, and have been accelerating ever since 2012, but right now it’s getting insanely fast, time is so fast right now that it feels like im doing shit in fast forward…
