How do people cope with the lack of adventure and excitement in modern life...

>did just about everything exciting life has to offer by the time i was an adult
I really doubt that.
> why spend 11 hours driving non-stop in a cramped car with other people just to see a fucking cliff in person when you can just fucking google what it looks like?
Pictures are soulless unless drawn. What you'll see looking it up on Google isn't drawn. There's something special about seeing it in person that pictures can't capture. It's a memorable experience, too. Better than sitting around playing video games and downloading thousands of pictures of cute anime girls all day.

How do you know it's not worth it? The mind holds all possibilities, think of dreams for example

You have to make your own adventures, user. Walk outside and talk to people. I remember when I was walking by myself at 3 in the morning one time and I saw these three white dudes carrying wood. I asked them if they needed help carrying the wood and they brought me to this cool bonfire party. Life is crazy bro. Go explore and shit.

I get it from video games. Cross country vandwelling is a fantasy of mine, but it probably always will be a fantasy and I'd imagine it gets boring after a few months anyway.

i had rich parents. yes, i really did do just about everything. only thing keeping me from doing a couple of things is a fear of falling (skydiving) and a fear of drowning (scuba diving) to which both I had the opportunity and passed on them.
zero thrill about it. i would rather immerse myself in things that are impossible, thus exciting.

I distract myself from this shitty reality by fantasizing/worldbuilding in bed, playing vidya, watching anime/shows/movies, reading/watching lore of different interesting fictional worlds. reading manga/books, etc.
That's all what I do, every single day. It makes life in this world just bearable, at least for some time. My ever-increasing desire to go on an adventure and explore something interesting is getting unbearable though, I'll probably just off myself soon.

This. The sooner you realize life is not a movie the less unhappy you will be.

I love dreams, but i don't remember my dreams always and the ones i do remember as memorable are infrequent. Need something else for the the times where I'm not dreaming. If i could just dream the kind of dreams that I have that I remember 24/7, I'd take that. I hope that's what the afterlife feels like, if there even is one. Dreams feel better than reality, most of the time. Anyways, the mind might hold all possibilities, but those possibilities aren't realities, I'd rather take reality for 90% of my life experience, not mentally masturbating about my own psychology. Sorry for the incoherent ramble.

I would like to but I cant leave my single mom alone and she cooks for me and keeps me comfy

I'm not currently at a place in life where I can do anything but stay inside the house right now. That could change in the next few months. I do agree with you, I've had some pretty good adventures just walking places and exploring the outdoors.

That's how Buddha lived for a long time. Look where it got him. Even though I disagree with some of his stuff, his story gives me inspirationn.

its a fucking choice, im going drive 3500 miles on a motercycle for work, just do fun shit its not hard

I did abandon everything for a couple years and lived on the road as a truck driver. It lead me to a good trade and now I have a stable driving job where I'm home at night with good pay. I even lucked out and have a good boss. However, living in a truck is robot friendly but it eventually turns to hell. OTR trucking culture used to be about teamwork and camaraderie but is now dying thanks to boomers and third worlders shitting things up. Thanks to the old timers doing coke so they could stay up for 4 days straight in the 80s and falsifying their logs, younger truckers have been fucked.

>DOT constantly on your ass about something. It's possible to get a speed warning or ticket for doing 2 over the limit
>Certain OTR companies train you and give you a CDL, but you're their slave until you pay off your trucking school debt
>Truck stops are full of assholes now who park at the pumps or block you in at night so you can't leave in the morning
>Pajeets coming in from Canada who give zero fucks about everything bidding abysmally low on runs, which the boomers give to them to save a buck
>Never get a shower or properly bathe for weeks at a time
>Getting a warm meal becomes a luxury
>Never get any proper sleep

And good luck trying to live in a van. No one knows how to mind their own fucking business so unless you're constantly moving and only sleeping a truck stops for one day, the cops will try and slap you with something.

this is why people unironically invented minecraft and yes it is pathetic

My life isn't boring even one bit, I was born during communism in Warsaw Pact cunt, I witnessed post-commie times, we had lots of stuff to do despite not having internet or smartphones, now I try to find interesting things to do whenever I can. I mostly do urban exploration trips to spoopy places. Like Treblinka at night. Have a pic

That's understandable. You can remember your dreams more often if you want to, just by paying them more attention. Some native American tribes regard dreams as teachers that stop teaching you anything if you don't listen or take them seriously. One purpose of investigating your own psychology, according to Jung anyway, is to find the root causes of boredom and malaise. The primitive mind of dreaming holds a wealth of feelings and instincts that can be integrated into consciousness so that we may feel alive as pre-modern peoples did. The pull towards adventure is a call towards your destiny. Life is fulfilling when we feel we're in sync with destiny.

Inspiration for what? To become the next Buddha? Listen man I don't know how old you are, but don't base your real life choices on a 2000 year old shoddy biography. Buddhism has amazing teachings, but it's a different world we live in. Based on the fact that you're on r9k, you're not Maitreya.

I do this too. When people say make your own adventures by doing this or that its fucking useless advice. Talking to people, going outside, traveling to places, etc isnt a fucking adventure. I long for something this boring reality could never provide.

Glad to know I'm not alone on this.

>Better than sitting around...
okay fun authority

Because some people have a life

>How do people cope with the lack of adventure and excitement in modern life?
1. Create excitement and adventure
2. Train yourself to be the type of person who finds excitement and adventure in everyday life
3. Do both 1 and 2 at the same time

Inspiration for living on the road. Look what came of it for Buddha!
>Based on the fact that you're on r9k, you're not Maitreya
There's a couple fundamental things at the core of Buddhism I disagree with, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't be that, me being on Zig Forums has nothing to do with it.
