Dont know what to do with my life

Do you have any plans for the near future? Do you, sort of, picture yourself how you would be like in, say, 2 years?

You mention you have a lot of friends, but close friends or are they simply acquaintances? Are you having dinners with them at your place or their places or just hang out? What are the common topics?

Do you feel connected to people around you? Do you get to share your feelings with someone or does someone else share their feelings with you?

I'm asking this because what you describe is more or less depression.

 

Hey, why don't we trade lives for a little while and at the end of it all, I can tell you what to do with your life based on all of the awesome stuff that you've got going for you, eh?

In all seriousness, though, I am in the same boat as you. Here's a bit of advice I heard yesterday that I am going to try out later on tonight: write your own obituary.

Apparently, somehow writing your own obituary makes you all of a sudden realize your purpose in life. I found out about it in a YouTube video yesterday.

To me it seems you have everything solved and now there is nothing left to do, therefore apathy strikes. I was in the other side of the spectrum a moment ago, nothing worked for me so I just didn't feel like doing anything. Just look for a hobby.

 

Why not get a pet? Much better if it moves a lot and needs of your care. You wouldn't feel so lonely.

 

Find some responsibility, that would make your life meaningful. Join some charity or NGO's, or just find a cause that is important for you. I'd say taking responsibility makes life worth living.

 

What you need to do is to come out of your comfort zone.
Go somewhere camping in the jungle with friends/ join a sport / start meditation.
Do whatever pushes you.
Everyone thinks that meditating is easy, but to sit at one place with your mind focused is very difficult for even a few minutes.
More power to you

 

" It is only you who needs to struggle, face defeats and go through worse moments if you want to be happy in life. Life is not all flowers and butterflies, it's actually very harsh. But you just can't simply give up, you have good days waiting for you. Go and chase your goal, in the end it won't matter if you achieved it or not, but you will have satisfaction that at least you tried your best"

 

My opinion: you have to stop gaming. I know this might sound unreasonable, as you and maybe your circle of friends are all into gaming and don't see a problem with it...

But gaming is utterly meaningless. It will destroy all purpose if you do it too much.

Every other activity besides gaming will become less interesting to you and as a result they become meaningless. And gaming can't give you that higher meaning.

Try to notice how you feel after you finish your next gaming session. Is there a thrive left in you, is there motivation for something else?

 

@RamboErecto Do you have a religious background?

Good call!

 

hey man! I feel the same....I feel so helpless because there's so much that isn't going right that I just don't feel motivated to stand up to life and do my best.

But we have to do it eventually. We know what we are capable of.

 

sorry to hear of your struggles
