Any movies or shows make you feel genuinely happy?
I'm tired of the world weighing down on me. I'm tired of doomer thoughts. I just want to forget about it for a little while.

Delete all social media, start reading
The first one is sufficient.
It's taken me years to detox, but these days I'm feeling pretty good. I'm even thinking of going outside.
Farscape.
doomer thoughts are a completely natural reaction to the state of everything today
suppressing them will not help, it even becomes impossible at some point
Sure, but neither is it any good in wallowing in them. Especially not if there's nothing you can do about that shit anyway. Look for your own happiness.
OP, try Lost In Translation.
Community always makes me feel better. It takes a few episodes to find its groove but then you get a solid 60 episodes until it shits the bed in season 4. Then another 26 good episodes in s5 and 6
read philosophy books
what are some good ones to start with anon?
>Read mental masturbation from people that didn't live in israeli hellscapes
No thanks
Maybe I could help. It depends on what particular thing is making you feel doom. Give me some help to recommend something fitting. What is making you eel doom? Why is the future bleak, for you?
In no particular order:
>The world leaders and the wealthy "elite" all continuing to be self-absorbed and petty and greedy c**ts even when their actions and decisions are sinking us all ever deeper in a global catastrophe that even in the best case scenario will kill millions and irrevocably change the survivors' lives for the worse with no silver lining
>All my hopes and dreams are killed in the crib because of my lack of friends and social circles, my abysmal self-worth, my indecisiveness and incapability of keeping my focus in long-term projects and possibly undiagnosed mental illnesses, dooming me for another half a century (if I'm lucky) of life as a miserable recluse haunted by the ghosts of my mind that never could become flesh, until sweet oblivion takes me and this brief lightray of consciousness goes out for all eternity
>My favorite brand of dried fruits got taken off the shelves for some reason
>Everyone keeps recommending me philosophy as if any philosopher in the history of the world ever was happy
Reckon it's the same shit we're all going through.
>My favorite brand of dried fruits got taken off the shelves for some reason
Is there really so much variety in how a fruit can be dried that there is appreciable difference between brands
Yes, because where I live there's not many brands to begin with.
just be yourself
Try to do some sports. Self confidence comes with good physical health. I started traditional jiu-jitsu 4 years ago and it changed my life, I met some friends at the dojo and now I'm less of a homosexual when it comes to going outside in my arab-filled city (Brussels)

this isn't something you can change by yourself stop thinking/reading/talking/obsessing about it. no one cares what you think about it anyway
>All my hopes and dreams are killed in the crib because of my lack of friends and social circles, my abysmal self-worth, my indecisiveness and incapability of keeping my focus in long-term projects and possibly undiagnosed mental illnesses, dooming me for another half a century (if I'm lucky) of life as a miserable recluse haunted by the ghosts of my mind that never could become flesh, until sweet oblivion takes me and this brief lightray of consciousness goes out for all eternity
get friends, reconnect with old ones, talk to randos on the street, join a club/gym/work buddies/social hobbies. you already know this is what you should be doing so do it. it's not easy but you have to claw it all back by yourself.
>My favorite brand of dried fruits got taken off the shelves for some reason
rip didn't realise it was this bad. you're fricked

I've been working on this with a rare good shrink. I'm coping by building fantasy worlds and selling them as tiny indie games. 80% of this one is improvable for long term, especially if you're able to articulate the problems so succinctly.
Your other three points about philosophy, dried fruits and us being plebs to a predatory and malicious elite are accurate and have no clear solution.
So here's my escapist recommendations:
1. Time machine (1960)
The movie is essentially about people becoming cattle in the future, but there's something lighthearted and camp about the lens through which things are viewed.
2. Repo men (2010). Yes, it's dark, yes it's gorey, but the comradery of the buddy cop storytelling makes it worth it even if it's in a bleak setting. I found it so silly in its seriousness at times that I just laughed through most of it.
But if you rather have something distracting about something else completely. You've probably seen this, but just recommending in case.
A. This is Spinal Tap
B. The warriors
C. Memento
D. Fargo (movie)
And here's some comedies that may or may not be your bag, but they'll probably come out of left field:
I. Walk hard
II. Pootie Tang
III. Shaolin Soccer
And if you want to think about how to rethink some of the regrets about the ghosts of your mind, I'd sooner recommend Kipling poetry or reading books, like "I am legend". Or perhaps watch a movie like big fish, which under it's saccharine plot may have the cure to the shadows of your mind.
Oh and this if you haven't seen it is good for laugh.
Hold strong brother. You are still here, which means you were strong enough to endure all that you have endured. There is always room for growth and the best place to improve ourselves is here, and the best time to start is now.
I've heard Walk Hard here twice now so I'll put that on top. Going to add the rest too. Lots of good advice in general, or at least it sounds like it.
Thanks, man.
Let me know if you got the recommendations, Black person, I know I took my time to make them.
have a nice day you whiny homosexual.
I put on brother sun sister moon to feel better
The Message, this world is made to be temporary bros there is an afterlife of bliss if you aren’t a degenerate.
For me it's Frasier and Adam Sandler movies.
psych, china il, workaholics, scooby doo
Futurama (original run)
Walk Hard
comfy King of The hill episodes, the intros just put me in such a good mood, anyone know what I'm talking about? not the intro song but the beginning of each episode
I know it's a psychological thing because I had my best years when I used to watch KoTH daily when I was a kid.
Now everything is so gay (literally) fricked up and chaotic
For me it's Trading Places.
That's what capeshit and Star Wars are made for, go knock yourself out.
unironically stranger things
besides the teen love plot I really felt childlike joy
If this does nothing for you then you might as well be dead already
