This is the correct answer. All of the other seething replies missed the point. Man is an animal, just like every other animal that exists in nature. Coincidentally, man is the only one to shirk nature. Despite existing in nature for thousands upon thousands of years, man has shirked nature, has trashed the environment, and has done everything to go against its history.
And you think that this won't have consequences?
The only cope is sitting inside all the time looking at a fricking screen. That's the cope. You should be outside like 16 hours or more a day ideally. Revolt against clown world.
No, but it's certainly a nice cope for those in that situation, I spent 4 years as a NEET living with a parent, I was very attuned to the goings on of the countryside around me and very unattuned to the goings on of society.
Now I have a fiance and a baby on the way which is really nice too, but waging and generally having to engage with society is taxing. Very easy to be happy being a maladapted nature escapist in comparison.
Not daunting, tiresome. I am not scared of talking to people, quite gregarious even. Just being immersed in the world of work, where increasingly it's not enough to just get the job done, where a persona is expected and half of your time is spent virtue signalling what a good boy you are to management so you don't get pulled up. It punishes integrity and candidness and rewards obsequiousness and general lack of spirit, cuckoldry. Then there is the matter of being surrounded by pretty demoralised people who know nothing else and sedate themselves 24/7 with garbage tv and media, who have spent the last 15 years enthusiastically scrolling social media to the point their brains are fricked. Makes me sad to see it, why would I enjoy any of this?
I guess it is a cope. But given the choice of sitting on my ass doing nothing and feeling lonely versus being outdoors feeling lonely i'd rather take the outdoors and pick berries.
No.
How would it? And as a follow up, so what? Is every hobby cope?
literally everything we do is a major cope. it's how we deal with the terror of our own mortality
Really starting to feel this in my late-early 30s. Being innawoods seems to be the only way to put the existential dread on pause.
Nice blog post
No, but identifying as a pepe or wojak is.
definitely. give up every hobby or interest you have because its all just "autistic maladaptive COPE for moronic loners thyat were never loved"
one less frickwit on the trail
rejecting the modern world is the only sane choice, everything about it is rotten.
Things you enjoy don’t have to fall under qualifications, anon.
No, it's a near universal desire
Lmao, no. It's the way we are supposed to live. I picked up a hot city girl and moved her to the outdoors. She gets it and won't go back to a city.

not really, I want to go camping with my girlfriend who loves me
Then fricking do it, pussy.

And this is why millennials and zoomers are ngmi. The simple act of socialization is daunting to them.

based
stop bumping this horrible thread
no
Have you tried psychedelics?
No, I might try a few liberty caps if I'm happy I've positively identified them though.
Do it. If you decide they aren't for you, no biggie.
What do you think it would do for me?
Help you break out of the mental rut you seem to be stuck in.
That's what I'm hoping for, not sure if it's a rut or just how anyone would feel but seems like it might bring some levity.
I think it's just natural. It's in the word.
>is the real world a cope

Some could say that seeking happyness is a COPE! That would make most things COPE!!!!
