    There’s like a good amount of resentment and hostility here to the idea that it’s good to outside, join orgs, have a rich and healthy social life, exercise or basically do anything that isn’t staying at home doomscrolling, playing video game or watching anime.

    I'm resentful of it because I don't believe it's advice which is applicable to my life situation, tbh. I do engage in physical exercise pretty often, because that is something that I can do, but I don't see any of the others as viable options.

      What one can or cannot do is very specific to an individual, but surely you can agree that these are generally good things to aspire to if it is possible right?

        Well if I can't do what one should aspire to do, then it's pretty likely I'm going to get resentful of that regardless, isn't it?

          Why would you resent not something one should aspire to do because you can't do it? If you can't do it you can't do it.

            Because it's a point of inequality between me & others, and because it'll be held against me regardless of what I think.

            And further it's a limitation of the depth of life experiences that I have available to me, that isn't there for others.
