I feel like life is pointless. How can I find meaning in my life?

There is always meaning to anyone's life. Find things that you enjoy doing, people you enjoy being with, and aspects in life that motivate you! There is always something waiting for you out there. Don't give up hope or become distraught if something doesn't work out. Life isn't always easy and there will be times when one can feel as if life really is pointless, nothing to do, you don't feel like you're important, no one cares about you. But the truth is that many people feel that way and one may not notice that because you're too wrapped up in your own emotions etc. But don't worry, life has something in store for you, you just have to break free from the negative bonds and see it.

Life has no meaning. And no, that’s not a bad thing. You see for thousands of years philosophers and thinkers and everyday people have dedicated their whole lives to answering this question. But most of them did not even come close to understanding the mystery of why we are here. Most people are living life completely wrong. They spend their whole lives chasing money while working hard at a job that doesn’t make a difference with people that don’t really care about them. Then when they finally retire they are old and weak and full of regrets that they can’t change. They prioritise the things that don’t matter and so hate the life they have created for themselves. To find meaning in life, you have to live it to the fullest (cringy I know but I mean it). Tell your crush you live them. Go to the class you’re scared shitless about. If something terrifies you and excites you at the same time then it is so important that you do it. Life is pointless, so it doesn’t matter if you mess up. So many people feel suicidal due to fear they may never amount to anything. What do they expect will happen when they die? They’ll live their dreams? How can you find meaning? Wear ugly clothes, get that job that your parents hate, get married, be kind to others, inspire others, do the simple things that excite you and always have. Go through life like a child with your eyes wide open. Realise that it doesn’t matter what grades you get. It doesn’t matter. Always wanted to write a book but everyone around you thinks your terrible? Life is pointless anyway! Find someone that makes you feel alive and spend as much time as possible with them (platonic too for my ace peeps). Try, don’t try, who cares? Find something that makes you forget time is passing and do it. Life is pointless so take life by storm. Die with no regrets. That’s the kind of person I respect.

Well, there are a lot of people in the world who are looking for there place in it. Once you find your purpose in life everything will become much easier for you to understand and why you exist. Everyone have a role to play in this world the only problem is that we have to find our own roles. It is a shame that life does not come with a road map. If it did perhaps more of us could stay on course and find our destiny. I just want to say to you whatever, you like to do in life is closely connected to your purpose. Keep looking, and searching for your place and one day you will walk right into it. I wish nothing but the best as you continue to pursue your calling life.

There is no meaning in it. You can be happy, rich, or an adventurer, but you will die anyway, and there is nothing we can do about it. I feel like even if my life sucks, I'm here for a reason like... I should help people before I die, so... Help others. That's the best way to "live a meaningful life". You also can believe in the afterlife. Sorry for not being helpful, but the " meaning of life" is to give. Knowledge, food, idk. The more the better, so why not producing first? Hope you find more help on other forums and once you'll find peace.

Maybe you are right, maybe life is pointless and meaningless, in the end our material possessions or career or relationships dont really matter, the passage of time makes every small thing insignificant, everything is forgotten. Its strange but I think that the meaning of life can be found in small moments of happiness, when you help someone and make their day, when you try to comprehend nature and are just amazed at how complicated everything is, when you find a hobby or job that you are so passionate about that you forget time, when you realize how crazy love is, etc. Maybe life does not have any meaning but I guess what matters is how we feel and how we think since our thoughts and feelings are what adds meaning to life.

Please don't hurt yourself. Is there a family member or friend who cares about you? What do you or used to enjoy? What productive things do you do? Perhaps look into some spiritual and or religious service. Perhaps attend a religious service. Volunteer. Go out into the community. Do you have a pet or child? You're breathing and your heart is beating. That is your purpose. Do you have and goals or dreams? What would you say to a friend if they had your issue? Go into nature. Breathe fresh air. Exercise. Smile. Don't give up. You're here for a reason.

Life is full of challenging mountains to climb. The world is full of peer pressure and stressful situations from society to live inside this box of working 40 hours a week to pay bills. These responsibilities can make anyone feels pointless when struggling to find meaning. There is so much more to life my friend! People say we only live once in life, but that is so far from the truth. We live every day of our lives and only die once. The next morning when the sun rises is a chance to make a new beginning! The willpower to start the next chapter is just three words away, “I want more!” A switch to see the world in a whole new light is inside of you. Humans often put their dreams off to the next day, but it’s never guaranteed. Dreams are meant to be chased every day with the passion that burns in our hearts. It takes a little urge to fight for change to kindle the bonfire of desire in us. Your soul is beautiful is going to set the world on fire one day! Take the small step to the rest of your life and want a little more today!

Life is pointless, we are here in this world because of pure luck/accident. So, we can be anything we want. Of course, because we live in society, there are rules to follow and duty to undergo. If you make sure of following the rules (not hurting other people, etc.), if you look at what you like in life, you can have an idea of what you want to do and how to get there. What you want to do will be your goal and purpose. How to get there will become your actions and that's how you'll be able to find meaning in your life: pursuing things you like to do/achieve.

I think there’s one particular reason why many of us feel completely lost. It’s because we’re searching for the wrong thing. Many early philosophers believed that our primary motivation in life was personal pleasure or happiness — that’s just what we strive for and that’s just what our purpose is.
