Sobriety over everything else • 30 • Midwest

I've been watching videos where people are reacting to Easter eggs in the new Five Nights at Freddy's game, and something about the pure joy they express over something that is so insignificant makes my blood boil. I feel like Scrooge with the whole "no one else is allowed to have fun" mentality, but I think it really comes down to envy at how they are able to derive happiness from something that seems meaningless to me.
I feel the same way about people who get excited about character cameos in Marvel movies, and seeing them cream themselves when fan service moments happen and old characters appear.
I really wish it was that easy to make me smile, and I wish I could watch a movie and be grinning and chatting excitedly about the characters and lore, but none of it seems important at all. It's so unbelievably meaningless to me when I'm dealing with so much existential dread.
