Alt text: Comic divided into four plus two panels.

First set is labeled "things I want to do"

  • read everything, character is reading books
  • watch everything, character is watching TV with a tub of popcorn
  • hear everything, character is happily listening to music
  • see everything, character is staring at a beautiful scenery of mountains surrounded by lush greenery and a river.

Last two panels, labeled "Things I actually do": Character spaced out on a purple background. First panel reads "Jack shit". Secknd panel zooms closer into the character's eyes and blank smile, " Absolutely jack shit"

Have you tried watching the same media over and over and over?

The best way to do something in my case is to break things down to the smallest stuff. Literally making an objective in my head like stand up, go to door, open door, etc. Thinking the whole shit just makes my brain shut down. Sometimes I forget to do this and just sit and stare at my screen.

Replace the top four panels with the bottom two and you have me.

Have you tried embracing the inevitable stress of learning/doing new things and enjoying the improvements instead of not stressing yourself but being the same, boring, stagnate old self for years to come?

You mean leave my comfort zone, even by a millimeter? Never!!

I need these comics to stop being so relatable.

It's just the urge that got blown out of proportions by social media. Check this video out https://piped.video/watch?v=C_UnFpUd3RI&t=0
