I’m so sorry that you’re feeling like this. I understand the pain that you’re going through. At one time I felt like I was worthless. My advice to you would be to communicate your struggles to loved ones or a therapist. They can help you. As for finding meaning in your life, I suggest developing a new hobby. You ever have a desire to try something new? Play an instrument? Try a new sport? When I was depressed I picked up my guitar and it has changed my life. My instructor is practically my best friend and I’ve met new people who share the same interest with me. The pain will get better. Good luck

I have felt like life was meaningless many times before as well. I found a meaning, however small it may be, in my passions, such as art, which in turn gave me more ambition and motivation to perform those passions. It might take some time, but no matter how cliche this may sound, it is worth it. When you finally find your niche, your thing that makes you wish that you don't have to sleep, it makes all of the difference in life. There are 2 ways that you can look at it, in where you give your life meaning, either to yourself or to the people. It is your choice and your meaning. But remember this, even in the darkest and loneliest of times, it is never pointless.

Generally when we do something we don't like or do almost nothing, and have some experiences that affect us, we tend to question everything including selves. Firstly, we should be aware of what situation makes us feel like this. If we really be honest to ourselves, and listen to our inside well we can find some clues. Other than inside journey, we can also try something new (new job, travelling to new places, new friends, new style etc.), thus we can be able to find better way for us. Extra: When you volunteer for others, it also gives you encourage to change and help. It works! Don't give up and keep strong.

Find something you love to do. Whether it’s a team sport, painting, drawing, singing, dancing, etc., it really helps bring you happiness, and everyone is deserving and able to find that one thing that really makes them happy. You could start by looking around at your school and seeing the team sports they have to offer, or going out and trying new things until you find something that you really love. I know when I ride horses, it makes me forget about everything that is making me sad or angry and it helps me be happy and less anxious

I think that to answer that question , you first need to understand who you are. Asking yourself questions like what kinds of things do I like?, What makes me smile?, What are some things that might motivate me?, are the kinds of questions that might lead you to find something within yourself that you didn't know was there. Purpose can mean different things for different people. Some find purpose in work, some find it in isolation, some find it when they never intended to find it in the first place. To me, the best place to start is within yourself... What? Why? When? etc. Dig deep into your soul, confront the uncomfortable, and search harder in your darkest moments, because if you do, you'll find a light bright enough to change your life... Trust me, I know.

Purpose is one of the most important aspects of living, without meaning and moral obligation to keep going many people may stray from the path of kindness or fall prey to their own inner demons. Purpose is only achieved by achieving or working toward happiness, find what makes you happy. Understand that every sense, taste, touch, smell, they all will affect your overall quality of life and ability to move forward. Purpose can be found in simple things, the beauty and scent of a rose for example, or within the thrilling aspects of uncovering new knowledge. Purpose is what makes us happy, gives us pleasure and helps everyone around us :)

It's really upsetting that people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for. What really helps you find meaning in your life is finding a purpose, or someone to live for. Lacking goals and dreams can often make you feel like your existence is meaningless. Have a meaningful exchange with someone or something that you love. Every. Single. Day. It doesn't have to be 10 hobbies or a hundred people, just that one thing or person. Humans are extremely relational creatures. If we cannot connect with people, we will turn to fantasy. Not having meaningful connections with things that we enjoy doing makes us feel that we're lost in life and that we have nothing to live for. If you can find a reason to be alive, you'll have a purpose and meaning.

I’ve often felt pointless or worthless and like I didn’t have a meaning in life. I’ve been down some dark roads which I have progressed from. Everyone has a meaning in life even if you think that you don’t. I still don’t really know the “meaning” that I need or that I’m searching for but I find myself using small things in my life to help with that. Things like my dog or my brother. A rainbow after a rainy day, the birds chirping and the sound of the wind whistling by my ears as I go on my walks.

What is your favorite hobby? Maybe you like gardening, drawing, writing, painting, dusting, or even bowling. Take that thing that you love, take your favorite hobby. That's meaning. Now take a person who you love, someone who cares about you just as much as you care about them, someone who would swim across and ocean for you. They are a meaning for life. Look outside, look at nature and people. They are a reason to love. There is meaning in your life all around you, one must simply dare to open their eyes and look out at the unknown possibilities.
