Sadly I think I agree. I gave up on therapy. I dread daily life and struggle with existential depression. We humans are just awful to the world around us, and paper straws are not the solution.
Being “green” became a marketing strategy. Electric cars are not better for us than well built cities which are walkable/bikeable. Nobody really cares. Average human is fighting for survival. Then few reach decent wealth and decide to fly private jets to save time without any consideration on the impact on the environment.
As soon I open up about this to a therapist, I’m told I can’t control it(i know!) and I need to focus on things I can do(like using paper straws probably).
There are other issues I struggle with. The fact I make more than most people at companies I work for. My schedule is whatever and I do what I want. My last therapist just told me I’m really intelligent and an asset to a company but it doesn’t really change how I feel. Plus, my intelligence is just above average and there are plenty of people much smarter than me.
