How do you not feel pointless?
How do you not feel like everything is just pointless? I feel like I've just wasted so much time, I'm not good at anything, I have no passions...there just really doesn't seem like there's a point to living.
I'm tired of feeling so sad and empty everyday, like nothing matters, my life isn't going anywhere, and I don't want anything.

hey FoxPrince! I'm just some guy and I feel exactly the way you feel sometimes. sometimes life feels pointless and nothing matters and in a way I agree. however, i always see two ways to view this point; life doesn't mean anything so doing nothing matters, so doing anything is meaningless - I used to think this way but life is short and beautiful, why not make something out of it? so instead i try to think like life doesn't mean anything, so i can do ANYTHING. nothing can hold me back. it doesn't matter how much time you think you "wasted" we live in the present. i can't tell you to start picking up a guitar and start playing and bam you have passion but i know everyone likes something. being sad makes you feel like it's hopeless and you like nothing but find things that make you happy. it might be hard and it may seem like it leads to nowhere but if you don't know where you're going any path will get you there. much love
@thatanonymousboi not sure if I would agree that life is beautiful...I don't know, it feels useless to have little hobbies, they're so small in the whole of life. It's not like I never feel happiness, but just that it goes away so easily and I'm once again just feeling empty. Is there really a point to hanging on to those feelings?
I've experiences that when it's hard to find purpose within ourselves, that it can help to help out the people around us. Seeing someone smile or hearing gratitude in their voice, knowing you contributed to that can take some amount of feeling pointless away.
@Madaraismyspiritanimal I spend my entire life just worrying about others, caring for others, doing things to please others...it just doesn't feel like it's the right reason to keep living just for others
@FoxPrince You have been trying really hard to succeed, but you feel so hopeless and tired.
You are doing something really difficult every day just by opening your eyes and trying to live with all this pain.
Depression can lead you to feel like you are living just for the next time you can sleep.
I understand you feel exhausted and you just want a break from this pain.
Your feelings are valid. Thank you for sharing.
