Are those the ones with the flat or the round teeth?

No idea. Don't have a porpoise in my life either.

For those saying this is normal... What is your life like? Do you like your job? Do you feel reasons to get up in the morning?

I just feel like I'm here biding time. Waiting for it to end.

My boyfriend has spent the last few years directing a documentary that's going to premiere in several major film festivals this year. My best friend is an incredible singer touring with his band. I'm around folks who, even at various stages of success, have drive and ambition. Know the future that they are striving for.

And I'm just blank. Existing without cause.

Ridiculous... but I know better than to feel sorry for myself.

What job? Went to help sell Asian trinkets at the market this morning. It was fun.

The sex can´t be that bad.

Now you know the emptiness of that lifestyle.

And I'm just blank. Existing without cause.

Go do something useful.

Obvious bait is obvious.

You have a boyfriend that is with you for a reason and you are with him. Is there not a purpose to that.
You have friends that want to be around you, is there not a purpose to that.

Life is what you make of it. It doesn't mean it has to have a purpose to life.
We only live in a speck of time in the overall time of the universe.

I love and appreciate everyone I have in my life, but I am not nd will never be that guy who thinks having a boyfriend is the be all end all. I have to have a reason to be. I feel empty. I watch those around me work towards goals and I have none because I don't even know what I want to be. I can't bartend forever. What can I do with my life that doesn't leave me miserable?

 

[backagain]

I can't tell you what to do with your life to make you totally happy.
You seem to have aspects that seem to make you content.

Why can't you bartend forever?

Those drinks aren't going to mix themselves.

You need more serious help than you can and will find here. This is not about 'feeling'. This is about 'depression', and it will only get worse if you don't do something about it.

Make that your temporary purpose. Fix yourself first.

Life isn't all about great goals or big adventures or big projects or whatever. Life is the small things and the everyday moments. I try to enjoy those. I just enjoyed my spaghetti. That apple was juicy and delicious. I love the smell of coffee. In 30 minutes I'm leaving home for work and I'll enjoy the walk, it's a sunny day. And so on.
Even if you find a goal for your life, you are gonna reach it step by step, moment by moment.

Over thinking anything, including our reason for existence and purpose for living just digs a deeper hole. This is a relatively new problem, our great grandparents lived life to survive, each day was spent finding food and water not to mention hoping that you didn't die from some mysterious disease. Obsessing, rethinking and overthinking is unhealthy. When I get in that mode I find a subject that will challenge me (no, it doesn't take much) and dig in to it. Go out of your comfort zone embrace a new discipline, learn a new language, study the universe, find some math that you aren't skilled at. Doing this will derail the train of thought that you are in.

Thinking isn't thinking when no conclusions are ever reached. More like a working washing machine where all the clothes are clean already.

Go out of your comfort zone embrace a new discipline,

The comfort zone discourse seems deeply unpleasing and mentally a bit lazy to me.

I need something bigger than a moment. I wish everything you said could make me happy, but to me it sounds like ignoring a problem.
