Why do I just not have a passion for anything?

Why do I just not have a passion for anything?

I was supposed to be bright and capable when I was younger. All the expectation has just kind of fizzled out.

I'm 23 now, I've dropped out of a university already, and I'm about to dropout of another one, because I'm scared and I have no motivation to do ANYTHING in life.

I just want to come home, eat, and browse the internet. I don't even like games anymore, I can't stick to them.


The only productive thing I do is the gym, but I hate myself so much I can't even socialize and make new friends. I've lived in this city for a year now and I haven't made a single new friend because I hate myself and I project that onto others.

bumpo, someone tell me what the fuck do I do

looks like someone needs a blowjob

kill yourself

Same boat. I'm just focusing on the gym and my body, and only eating alive, healthy foods (no oils, salt, dairy, ect). I'm disciplined enough to frequent the gym, so I've begun to read a lot about biology and anatomy, it's opened my eyes quite a bit in regards to nutrition.

I'm also looking into being a yoga trainer. It will not only help you monetize of your knowledge, but it will also uplift you spiritually. I also want to travel and teach yoga globally, meeting new people along the path.

Small things amount to larger ones. If all else fails, I buy land and go from there.

You sound fucking AWFUL. He didn't ask about your life either you stupid bitch.

>falling for the bright meme

just a buzzword parents use when their kids are ugly and/or don't show any definable talent.

just cause youre pathetic doesnt mean everyone else has to give up on life

There's a lot of pressure to perform for a lot of people, which can suck the fun out of life. I would suggest to try changing your environment possibly. I was depressed constantly and never realized it was caused by my living space until after I left. Other suggestions include trying new stuff, experimenting sexually, and playing as many vidya as possible until one doesn't suck ass.
Dont pay for what you can get for free

a) you haven't found something motivating yet

b) you have depression. seek help

Nice advice, twat bagel

yep, real "healthy" friend
>>/fit/

please, for your sake

Thats actually pretty normal these days. Kids aren't really raised to be strong, smart or to find happiness in some way. They are only raised to the bare minimum of maybe get passing grades and maybe don't shoot up the school, and maybe don't kill yourself.

If you want change then there is not much to do except grow as a person and start exploring the world as much as you can to find the things that you want. Everybody will be different. Then you get to work on the skills and future that you should have been raised to have by now while balancing a dead end job wishing your were dead the entire time.

Good luck user.

You're just lazy you peice of shit ""

You're fucking 23, fuck. You're still young. Your shit will sort itself out.

I was actually on an SRNI called Effexor XR for almost 2 years. It fucked me up real good. I'll never take them again or have my child take them.

You sound just like me OP. Try magic mushrooms and reflect on your life choices, really take the time to introspect. Psychedelics can get your mind out of a loop.

I've tried. Family doctor, anti-depressants, counseling..it's helped a bit. The gym and diet has helped the most, even then I'm still just a mess. I'm getting more and more anti-social over the years and I can't stop it. Just watching myself break down.

Sounds like you're losing the will to live. Trust me, anything is better than planting your flag, on that one job you will do ( and hate ) for the rest of your life. Most of the time it is the fear of not being to accomplish what you would really want to do that is holding you back.

Maybe instead of thinking about things you could do, go out of your way to actually do them. Quitting school doesn't mean you're a loser, it's most likely because you aren't studying the right thing, or maybe studying just isn't your thing.

There's a lot out there that will make you happy, or feel fulfilled, it is your job to try and discover that for yourself

Shave your head out of nothing go to a monastery say you want to dedicate your life to God from now on.
Out of nowhere mindblown

What is it you want out of life and whats most stopping you from getting that?

Not having a passion for something is more common than you think. I honestly feel like that most of the time myself. Find something you find even the tiniest amount of joy or entertainment in and stick with it. It may actually grow into something you do regularly or will feel stronger about. Also, coming from a dude the same age, this is the point in our lives where finding out who we are is huge. Give it time if you don't see it yet.

I know that feel. I want to be a really good programmer/sysadmin/hacker, but all I ever want to do is masturbate and sleep. I rarely have the drive for it all.

You're right. That fear is dead on. I think I should take some time to try and discover that before rushing into school?

I want to have enough money to travel. I want to work in a stimulating atmosphere, and I want to have someone that loves me. That's it really.

you're right. also that episode is godlike.

that's what my program was actually. Computer System Technology. Really revered program based in one of the best technical schools in Canada.

My main three vices that stop me from achieving my goals are weed, masturbation, and the computer. I keep trying to quit weed and fall back into it. I can barely go more than a few days without masturbating. I'm on the computer every day.

If I cut even 1 of those things completely I think my life would be infinitely better.

What are your vices? Whats holding you back the most?

join the french foreign legion. Or start selling drugs, or literally go to the fucking moon, you stupid human. for real though you're 23 and it will get better and then level out to a reasonable level of misery. I imagine you will find a average job and have a average life just like the rest of us

>I want to have enough money to travel. I want to work in a stimulating atmosphere, and I want to have someone that loves me. That's it really.

You should seriously consider talking to career adviser then. They should have them at a local college or something. Once you have the job then the other things will fall into place. Make what you choose to be the center of your life and chase it relentlessly. Little things like changing your computer wall paper to remind yourself whats important will help.

What is the cause of you hating yourself? Do you have any addictions/ shameful habits?
I'm 21 and we sound like we're pretty similar. I don't have the motivation to keepbl going to the gym, I form a routine and drop it after 2 or 3 months. What brings me down the most though is porn addiction. Shit makes me hate myself. But when I go without fapping/porn for 3 weeks or longer I start to feel alive and myself again.
If I were you I'd really dig into the cause of you not being okay with yourself. Mediation has really been helping me.

I'm 23, have a full time job in sales, worked a regional political campaign, helped write the legislation for PA's medical marijuana laws, speak two languages, and have met 10 presidential nominees, governors, and senators. Soon I'll be living with the love of my life: I workout everyday, go to the beach on the weekends, drink with my friends, and love the outdoors and sports. And I've been browsing Sup Forums for years seeing weaklings like you. Stop self-victimizing. Go workout. Go make money. Go get laid. Go get a good job. Go do something in your community. Go become a god damn man before you damn yourself to being a loser. Go do it. No one will believe in you, not even yourself, until you stop being a bitch and become a strong person.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. I'm in the process of moving across the country just to start over. Maybe I'll find something there I like.

I have a very addictive personality. It runs in the family. I've been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and at one point, sexual addiction. I was put on a high dose of a powerful SRNI called Effexor XR which turned me into an emotionless zombie. I used to be addicted to masturbating/porn, playing video games, and at one point, binge eating junk food.

I've since gotten rid of the medication (~2 years next month), I don't watch porn anymore (~6 months), and I don't even play video games anymore. I've been eating healthy for around a month now consistently.

And I've just gotten more and more anti-social...the depression is still there. It's still hard. I'm trying to fix myself piece by piece. Mold myself into a a person I respect, someone worthy right? Everyday is a battle inside my head.

Would that actually help?

See above. The only reason I go to the gym consistently is because I'm a bit vain and having a nice looking body alleviates some stress from other areas of my psyche.

I used to meditate.

I'm joining the military, hoping I can be indoctrinated into giving a shit about something. We'll see how it goes.

Well try to new things man. Put yourself out there even if you don feel like it. Run and meditate several times a week and see if that helps.

Derbyshire neck's a' brewin', faggot.

My passion's drained like poor Kevin's chili

What makes me feel good about myself and life is feeling in control. Having the self discipline to be productive, stay away from porn and masturbation, and lifting consistently. Also doing homework, practicing musical instruments etc.

Hell yeah quads

Raid thread. It's happening!!!

Mfw
I roll quads the trips. Dubs are next.

thats pretty cool

I'm basically you + exgf in my head (I ended it, I tend to end everything I love) + job.

bump

dude, are you me?? wtf

there seems to be a lot of people who feel this way on here.

going thru the same phase and i dont see anyway of getting out of it. considered killing myself

If only we knew each other.
At least we have Sup Forums to share some things.

Alienation is preventing you from being you as you are, your species-being. Tldr capitalism fucked you, rise up fam

I think the fact that we know were in a hole and we want to improve means well get out of it eventually.

It's the people who are content that are in danger.

take a massive chance before you consider suicide

You Tldrd your entire argument...

life isnt hard friend

you're 23 maybe you're growing up and stupid time sinks like video games are becoming a past time this is good...

dont shy away from change embrace it and make sure it's positive

Dude what the fuck? Are you me? Holy shit

Oh shit you're right. Fucking Hegel, get you and your autism out of my brain

Right here

>I think the fact that we know were in a hole and we want to improve means well get out of it eventually.

I certainly hope so, specially in the academic field. I hate myself for dropping out of college, but at the same time I know it was not going anywhere. I need to find something I like.

Same OP. One by one I get bored of games until I sit at home and do nothing because all my income goes to my bills (and 2 credit cards that I keep fucking maxing out instead of paying off like a retard to buy more video games that I end up stopping playing 100 hours or less into the game)

shit really sucks. Along with the fact that I'm too wimpy to kill myself, and I broke up with the only woman in the world that will ever love me for who I am (was with her 6 years and I got jealous over another person's relationship and instead of talking it out I jumped to a breakup... worst decision in my entire 24 years of living and will always be my worst decision forever) I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I am just... lost. I have no support, no nothing. Oh, and she's living with me still too. No sex, no nothing, she just plays WoW all day while I moved into the bedroom and just sit here bymyself listening to her laugh with her guildies on wow. Rips my soul into pieces.

I just wish I had a PASSION for something that I could just throw myself into so I would barely ever have to be home but after an 8 hour workday I'm always exhausted and just want to sit. I've tried coding Java, C++, Ruby, I've tried making art (lol w/o a tablet it's shit btw), I've tried gaming (I love gaming but I suck donkey dick at it tbh, I just am not SPECTACULAR at anything I play ever), I've tried writing, I've tried reading (Read all the books in my house prolly around 50-60 books, love reading but no money for books) and I just don't know what the fuck to do anymore.

Not OP, but same age and feel similar.

I have aspirations and talents, I just feel like I'll never accomplish them. I've worked minimum wage jobs since I got out of high school, and quit one 3 months ago, right after moving in with my longtime gf. It sucks that I haven't been able to help support the household. I've basically become a leech. She buys my food, my cigarettes, pays the bills that allow me to live, and I can't even find a job. Just the prospect of working somewhere I know I won't be at for more than a few years makes me so depressed. Why suffer just to scrape by? It would relieve some stress from my gf, who honestly needs a break. She really loves me, though. Nobody else would've put up with me for this long otherwise.

I feel like I just didn't have enough opportunities in my early life to set up my young adult life. I'm 23 and don't have a driver's license, no car, no bank accounts. My most prized possessions are my tv, eck bok, and bass guitar. I've been lucky enough to have a gf for 8 years, but I feel like any day my woman will just get fed up and tell me to leave. Her mom's already telling her to do that, and it's bullshit.

Sorry about your situation OP, and most of the other anons in the thread. Hopefully we'll make our lives' better by the end of them.

>I'm scared and I have no motivation to do ANYTHING in life.

If you were truly scared, you would certainly be motivated.

You're just waiting to hit bottom, and when you do, you'll either be shit-your-pants terrified and get your act together, or you'll be homeless and die in a year or two.

In the meantime, you must get an allowance or live with your mom/parents.
