You can find meaning in life by doing things you enjoy doing and stop worrying about what other people think about you. You will be so much happier.

It helps me to connect with people and to schedule things to look forward to on the weekends like a beach day or a walk through the park.

Figure out what thing you love the most, what thing you would't mind doing the rest of your life and what thing you want to do before dying. The first one will keep you alive, even if it's as simple as "i love dancing". The second one will be your vocation, mine is for example teaching. I want to be a great teacher and I hope I will be. And third is something you really want to do in the future, for example, having children or grandkids :)

Everyone has their own way to make life worth living. You have to find the one that works best for you. It can take some time for you to figure out what makes you happy and what gives your life meaning, so it may be helpful to talk to other people that already found their meaning in life and talk with them about it. It can be inspiring for you to listen to various ways of living life.

Well this is quite a common thing so first of all don't over worry about it, there's this whole branch of psychology called logotheraphy that can help you a lot through this time of confusion. Also there's existencialism, which is a branch of philosophy, that talk about similar stuff. Basically to find your goal you need to know yourself enough and think of what you'd really like to do, also nobody can tell you your real goal, it's something you have to find on your own
