5. I'm lower-impact than others....

I always find my way back to watching Agatha Christie episodes on Amazon Prime. (I have a really bad memory, so I never remember "who done it". )
And I also have a playlist of music YouTube videos I love, and I watch them one after another, and leave complimentary comments.
Like I said, I'm low-impact. And I only feel "safe" going back to things I've enjoyed before and know I will enjoy again.
But I don't know if anything like that will help this type of ennui-- it sounds like a real existential abyss sort of ennui?
