I see people talk about how they have things they want to do in life but I could never relate to those people. Ever since I was young and people started asking me questions like "what do you want to do in the future" or "what job do you want to have growing up", I knew that it was socially unacceptable to say "nothing" (but I don't know why it's socially unacceptable) hence I gave fake answers. I never really wanted to do anything in life deep down and I knew that. Is anybody else here the same or is it just me?

Yes, I just didn't know what I wanted to do growing up and I still don't, nowadays I'm not bothered and don't want to do anything.

Honestly I think if anyone were given the option to just not work, they'd take it in a heartbeat. I know I definitely would.
I'm not particularly motivated for most things, which makes me feel super dull inside.

Kind of just wish there was something to live for at this point.

Yes and no.

In my short life, I have had several "dreams" and potential paths for my life.
The problem is that I am a very lazy person and I have always lacked motivation.
Even if I am motivated, it does not last long.

I kept changing the concept and in practice I didn't know what I really wanted.
The world is moving forward every second, but I am still standing.
I'm stuck in a cycle of self-destruction.
Of course it's entirely my fault.

I never had any specific plan for my life.
Everything was just short-lived ideas.
Every idea gets boring sooner or later, or I encounter reality.

Artificially happy on medicine

There's not much I want in life but the main thing is knowledge. I enjoy studying hard long hours at university (I do CS and philosophy) but other than that I'm constantly bored, having to cope using substances, barely ever talk to my family, have very few friends, our house was raided by the cops and my dad is probably going to go to jail for weed trafficking. I'm completely asexual so don't desire a partner.

I genuinely have no aspirations except to continue studying at my home university and don't want to get a job. I guess I want my meds so I can feel normal at least they're a huge benefit to me but I was born with Autism, ADHD and depression/anxiety so pretty much the only thing that keeps me going are my ADHD meds - U get pretty wired on them tbh.

Most of the time I'm just bored out of my mind, incapable of even sitting at my desk and doing my work admittedly I have to take more on occasion to have that productivity boost. Days off are boring and insufferable but I try to remind myself that I was given the gift and blessing of having a good psychiatrist, he gives me valium, antidepressants etc. I just rarely get happiness out of life anymore.

I never enjoy holidays at all they're insufferable Fiji, new Caledonia, it's not unusual for me to go an entire holiday with not one interaction between me and a non family member, I guess I desire friends a bit.

I hate going out of the house so much unless it's uni and it takes forever to travel there I just feel like I'm going insane being on the train and bus all day and sometimes not even attending classes.

I know my life doesn't sound like a disaster yet but with these charges on my dad we risk loosing our assets, firearms charges, psylocibin charges, marijuana charges there's barely anything in the fridge anymore. It definitely could be worse but my room is absolute chaos because I never have the energy to clean it and I'm going to feel really bad if my dad goes to prison. I'm so emotional but emotionless at the same time that I'm thinking I might be lucky to get his car if he does go to prison.

And when we were raided it was a full on swat team,they were reading through every page of My uni notes and there were about 12 of them their one lady filming Us, a stubborn looking detective and they just took away all our weed supply and put it into evidence bags. He's being charged over harmless plants! And the worst part is that someone turned him into the cops, a former friend. The guy is a total freek, when I recall seeing him he was awkward in conversations, killed a cat once that went on his property. He's the most Unlikeable militant atheist. (Not saying all atheists are bad). He's been adjourned for 7 weeks then there'll be another and another and I don't even think he has much will to live.

It's just awlful I just desire to not exist sometimes.

I don't know about that. I've seen many people in society say that they want to work and that they want challenges because they find a life without challenges to be unsatisfying. I however think that a life without challenges is pure bliss. Imagine if we could achieve whatever we want without having to do anything for it. That would be beautiful to me

I had some ideas for what I wanted to do in the future but for a while now I would rather just not have to do any work at all but I'm sure most people actually agree with that which is part of what makes work so valuable in the first place. 😓

Not having to do anything is boring, very boring. We humans would be busy with searching for food all day long if we still lived in our natural habitat and there we would find the food (and water) we need to live every day and nature provides that for free!

During our evolution that changed. Now we have to do things we don't like to do in most cases to get a thing - we named it money - that we cannot eat - to be able to live - to have have food and a bed!!

That is far from how we are designed by evolution.

In my case I never rejected to work but it has to be an advantage for me (= more money to have a better life, while in the same time I like/love what I'm doing) That is already the next stage above just relying on food and water which does not make us "happy" any more bc society and the world we are living in is more than that.

What r we actually living for? Nothing - we don't know why life came into existence - but our human evolution brought us to a point where some of us live for materialistic stuff and goals in our society - the ones that don't want to live for that are not adapted well from an evolutionary point of view.

Development and specifically how fast we created our own artificial habitat - there wasn't enough time for humans to adapt. Maybe that is the reason why so many young folks have issues with society and the world how it works? It would need dozens or even hundreds of generations for us to adapt genetically to it.

Idk if that makes sense maybe it just sounds weird.

yeah it makes sense, i kinda agree. it's fun to play through a video game, but after you complete it and you're left with just an open world it will become boring after some time. obviously you should have a choice between an open world and a story mode and not be forced into the latter

It's the mix of everything that makes it. I forgot to mention in my post that I would also like to "work" sth that I like to do. I've got nothing to do and basically that's rotting at home. But I also reject becoming a wage slave (specifically min-wage or a little more) bc I won't be the one who is profiting from it - my life wouldn't be any better.

I never had any dreams or aspirations as a child probably because deep-down I knew I could never handle adult life. And so it has come to pass.

Yes, I really wish I never existed more than anything. Existence is beyond undesirable, to me human existence is the most futile and torturous burden. All I've ever wished for is to be permanently unaware, it sounds so peaceful and ideal to simply not exist for all eternity.

To me it's certainly always better to not exist, I despise existing, exstence is a hellish and harmful imposition that'd be better off erased. Existence itself is the problem for me and only ceasing to exist can solve it, I'd never want to exist under any circumstances.

Yes!!! I mean, I had periods where I had a ideas on what I wanted, but it always changed. As I got older I had to choose but I never felt comfortable in any choice. Now it's even worse as I developed depression because now motivation is gone to do anything at all.

I was always very scared of the future, even as a kid. I did have fantasies like becoming an astronaut and being rich, but I knew that those things would never happen. and at some point I think I realized that I wouldn't make it far in life, so for as long as I can remember, I just had no goals or ambitions. When I thought I'd live a little longer, I also considered destroying my life on purpose (drug use, being a narcissistic asshole) so that people wouldn't notice that I was just too dumb and without passion to achieve anything in life.

There was a time 25 years ago I actually gave a shit about trying to do stuff I gave a shit about Fame and Fortune I don't now now I spend my days longing to leave this body and this wretched life go back to my real self

I'm like that now. But something like 7 or 8 years ago I still had hope that I'd make something useful out of myself. What a naive fool I was
