I actually have no idea what is happening
from context I gather that they are either hr or project managers for some engineer thing? and they are having an infuriating team building exercise and make money by bossing nerds around/firing them/doing these tiktok dances?
it seems like it's something that will make the s-xy glasses wearing hunchback code monkeys (extremely hot) here mad so thot I would post it :d

the only thing wrong with your life is your r-slurred time management and you could fix it easily if you actually fricking cared
"wahh wahh my life sucks" if you actually feel that way then fix it you fricking r-slur, pick a hobby - ANY hobby - and meet people doing it. go hiking or rock climbing or knitting or fricking anything at all, anything you want.

I'm going to say your name and then I'm going to call you r-slurred just so you're fully aware.
I don't for a single second believe that at no point in your life have you had any interests whatsoever. But if you want to voluntarily dive into defeatism then go for it.

If you want a serious answer, I can give you that but I doubt it will change your perspective of looking at things the way I view them. That's why I joked.
Tl;dr of serious answer - I have tried a variety of hobbies and met tons of people in the last 8 years since I graduated. From stargazing to bookclubs, from ww2 naval history conferences to langlands program research conferences. The problem again and again is you have to consume to participate. You have to consume new info by new people and more new info by more people to keep that hobby sustaining.
Do you know what my ideal hobby is? Go to a cabin in Montana, get booze bottles, sit by the campfire, just sit there and stare into nothing for hours.
I don't like meaning for existence. My existence should have meaning in itself. Otherwise it's all just arbeit macht frei, either in office or in hobbies.
I know it'll not change your views and you'll call me an r-slur again, so

Staring for hours isn't a hobby. Neither is getting drunk, as much as the r-slurred degens on this site would like to believe it is. You could argue camping is but it doesn't sound like you like camping.
wtf do you even mean by this. Like take stargazing for example. What new info do you need to constantly "consume"? You get a telescope, go out away from city lights on a clear night, and look at cool shit in the night sky. Maybe you even plan a trip to a REALLY dark area and you can see much more cool shit in the sky. You don't need to constantly keep up with whatever new telescope was released last week or anything like that.
I'm calling you r-slurred because you write shit like:
but you clearly do which is why you're bitching about it here. You're not a stoic so stop pretending.

You can do that once, or a week, or a month, or maybe a year. Eventually you get tired of doing it. It's in the human nature to seek novelty in experience. More so because it's a hobby, you're doing it out of your own volition.
Then you start seeking out new info on stargazing, new locations, new happenings on other stargazers etc
You get my point
I'm not a stoic. Stoics have no relation to this. Stoics think they have to not get swayed by feelings to do what they think is morally right. I don't think there is anything to do. So whether feelings are a part of that doing or not is a moot debate.

Getting bored of one hobby and moving on to the next is perfectly normal.
You should realize how absurd a statement this is, in general. There are vastly more things to do and learn than can be done or learned within a single lifetime, or a hundred lifetimes, and we keep discovering more and more as time goes on.
You sound like you just have basic run-of-the-mill depression and all the standard bits of advice for that apply.

I'm not depressed though. Depressed people are lost, waiting to be (justifiably) relieved from their pain.
I have a crystal clear clarity of vision of my life 6 months, 1 year, 5 years from now. It's not going to change. All I can do is regale you with stories from it on rdrama

Depressed people often find nothing really brings them joy in life. They distance themselves from their hobbies and wallow in self-pity (which is EXACTLY what your r-slurred ping in the OP was about) and "oh there's no point in doing anything" and shift their lives into neutral to wither away as they coast through their life until death eventually catches up, natural or otherwise.
And they also rationalize their depression as simply being a "true" reflection of reality.
ie. you in this whole thread.
The only thing stopping it from changing is you.

Necroposting but you're severely depressed and meet most of the actual clinical signs. Thoughts of suicide alone make any other diagnostic criteria superfluous. Any psychiatrist would diagnose you.
Admitting you're depressed wouldn't really change anything about your coping methods or future plans, so idk why you're resistant.

My favorite memories are doing nothing with my friends. Just wandering around the woods and talking about nothing until we just didst talk about anything and layed together by the creek. Thats more fulfilling to me then helping to run my academic hobby club and talking with my classmates about research or something.

Sure but that's not what they were talking about and you fully know that.
They're talking about getting away from any other humans, getting drunk, and blankly staring into the distance. Notably, alone.
