Shit man, that's bleak.

Were most of your pursuits for your own enjoyment? Nothing wrong with that at all. But maybe that's the next thing- doing stuff for community/others. That seems a bottomless well of satisfaction.

You’re making the assumption that they can derive pleasure from actions. That may not be the case here.

I mean maybe? But based on the very minimal information available, what it sounds like they've done is derive pleasure from activities that are only self serving (again, no negative sentiment intended. Life is short, do what you want) so maybe helping others is the new frontier?

Or they could be deeply depressed. Either or both is possible.
