like it's fun at first to talk about old shit with ur buds but for me it just ends up turning into this little voice in my head going "you're always stuck in the past man that's why you have no future lmao"
fuck that little voice but like i cant even argue really u know?
I guess that's why it was originally classified as a psychological disorder; it can produce a lot of anxiety.
damn dog. dont let your memories of shit bring you down. just do other shit
hate getting nostalgia about getting blowed
why not make a better future for yourself. get off your behind and do something brother.
Please, OP, expand on how your feelings towards the past contributes to the conclusion that you have no future.

well it's less a conclusion and more like a nagging feeling that keeps me up at night, you know? like, i was just vibing with some discord buddies the other night, we were talking about old anime forum bullshit and people we used to know, shows we used to really be into, etc. and it was a lot of fun but i feel like i think about stuff like that WAY too often and it ends up being a defense mechanism, just pure escapism

lately ive been doing the samething with old forum buddies from 2003-2004 except were talking about halo ut and other mp fpses and retarded forum shit we did. Talking about old internet shit just makes me wanna log tf off because i feel like i maxxed out all the fun i could have online. but yr right all of these tubes is just escapism.
and what do you mean by defense mechanism.
When Reach hit pc I was thinking about all my old halo 3 and cod4 buddies who I almost completely forgot about

i didn't know this- that's kind of crazy
@kaz
i think there is a healthy amount of nostalgia, but yeah i know what you mean with certain relationships. when i've found myself in situations where i am overly nostalgic about friends, hobbies, etc, then i think the larger issue to address is why you aren't as happy in the present.
fought with my fiancé about his nostalgia about how great his early twenties were cos he wasn't a loser and had a brilliant social life before the Venezuelan crises forced him out and made him fall into poverty
told him he was still pretty miserable at that time
Pissed me off, the past is dead; it's an image that gets distorted each time you 'remember'
you can recreate the past, live in fantasy
the future is unpredictable and exciting
you'd never know what fortune grants you; riches or poverty

yea i miss that shit tho that's probably spotify's fault lol
doesn't transparently track plays (at least to my knowledge lol im new here but p sure you only see the year end stuff or relative rankings) but does the recommendation stuff while also actually hosting tunes
Youre wrong. The entire website use to give 10+ pages of recs and all your stats were given freely until it was bought by CBS which redesigned it and is now trying to make a profit off of something that wasn't ever a great business model just a cool thing to exist. Now you have to pay for stats that dont rly matter, like itd be neat to know what i listened to most for 6 months but i aint paying for it. I imagine you get more with a subscription but damned if i care.
the stats were still freely available when i was the last person i personally knew still using the website in 2013 lol and I was only using it at that point for the recommendations really
scrobbling became a pain in the ass for most a v e r a g e people i would think since most folks had stopped using an ipod/itunes sometimes around the early 10s and that was all anyone used in the aughts (unless you were a zune weirdo)
anecdotally i think the site more-or-less fizzled out around the turn of the last decade, well before any of the cbs ownership redesign shenanigans.
last.fm is now nothing more to me than something that shows me what i've been listening to most lately. there's nothing left there other than my own damn charts
also i still use my ipod classic and itunes LMAO idk, only my ipod classic can actually fit all my shit and i still love that old thing
we got sd cards bigger than iPods these days
