Discussion Everything feels pointless

[repetition]

Does anyone ever feel like everything is pointless? I have a pretty good life , but everything I do feels as though it's just a bunch of distractions. Why talk with friends if I'll forgot the conversations in the near future? Why get out of bed if the entire day I just want to stop feeling anything? Making jokes and reading stories just feels like means to forget how I feel. Why sleep if I'll be tired anyway?
I'm not trying to complain, as I have a very enjoyable life. It's just that I don't feel that enjoyment, and I'm wondering if others feel the same way.

Well everything is pointless if you look at the big picture.

i could never assess how good or enjoyable my life would be from an objective standpoint because the internal suffering is so overwhelming

Yes it's pointless. We suffer through life, trying to distract ourselves, then die.

I feel the same as you. I have access to "enjoyable" things, but I can't feel anything positive from them.

Same...

Existing is always so futile to me, I could never see any point to any of this, I see existing as just waiting for death and more than anything I wish I was never burdened with this existence, to me existing will always just be suffering all for the sake of it.

It could be anhedonia or it could be you are just.... "awakened"

I actually had to look this up. Thanks for enlightening me!

Have you spoken to anyone about this? This could be the symptom to something than just simple malaise or disinterest. If you already have an enjoyable life then it might be time to suss out why it's not enjoyable for you.

I hope you find the solution and start feeling some joy in your life.

Everything is pointless. We are literally doing all of this just to die. I'm so confused. One day everything in my life, including myself, will be gone. Memories, good and bad, gone forever. All of this sadness and struggling, and for what? I truly don't understand.

Life is pointless, we're nothing but a bunch of randomly generated clumps of cells.

It's up to each individual to find the meaning to their lives, some people (me lol) just couldn't find shit.
