life help: I feel lost?

I feel lost?

i feel completely disassociated from life, i don’t truly feel i belong. i spent most of my time in my mind, in my drawings living fantasies that don’t exist.
I’m at a point in my life where i need to move on with life and get a job, a place of my own. But no matter what i do i can’t bring myself to care. I’m truly at a loss.

you’re not depressed, just apathetic to life? perhaps even nihilistic? i can emphasise with you, and had a similar problem a couple of years ago.

you just need to repress yourself, get on with it. try and find something even remotely enjoyable. i suppose it’s not good to live a life of delusion, but it will become more tolerable if you become less a disassociate.

hope that made sense. it’s not the kind of spirit building nonsense you’re likely to come across, but i get the impression you wouldn’t respond to that well. good luck.

i can’t seem to do anything lately, i have no problem socializing, i have a close friend that could be seen as a girlfriend, i have a nice enough family. but i can’t seem to get past the fact there is no meaning

should a ‘meaning’ defy your will to continue though? there is no ultimate goal in life, there shouldn’t have to be. that would turn the whole experience into one long trial of drudgery.

so long as you can find the things you enjoy, even if it’s just trying to detect backmasked sonny and cher b-sides, it gives you a reason to live. life is pretty futile, but they do say its just what you make of it.

at least you are being partially productive, with drawings; how about developing something from that? Perhaps make a career out of it, give yourself some goals… Everyone goes through pointlessness at some point, some more often and more strongly than others and everyone finds different ways of getting through it.

hmm i guess so, at the moment i design tattoos and album covers to make a little cash on the side. probably will use art as a career choice but the thing that plagues me the most is that i never feel satisfied by what i see. i dunno if it helps but my fantasies always consist of a meaning or truth, something i never seem to find in life, everybody is too concerned with selfish ideas and petty beliefs that i feel overwhelmed by the pointlessness of our society and why should i need to strive to become part of it and survive in it

existentialism seems to be a rather suiting word, i guess i just see all around me to be pointless in the grand scheme of things, i just don’t want to be a part of it, I’m not saying i want to rebel and change things, because please tell me a way to turn it all on its head and create something with a point, something worth living in.

it’s not a matter of finding a point, it’s a matter of acceptance. only then will you find it more tolerable. read the myth of sisyphus by albert camus. could offer you some kind of solace.

well, i’m not sure if they did. i did state just ‘trying to detect’. i do suspect however they are the sort of devilish duo who would do such a thing.
