It feels like a massive echo chamber in most regards

I thought about that and i wanted to try rally but I don't have a rally car ahahah. So i just started drifting with my fiat punto in wheat fields lol

Probably the worst advice here... but try some extreme sports. Stuff like skateboarding, snowbording, surfing, bungee jumping, parachuting, can make you feel truly alive! Something about the risk factor and the fact that you utilize your whole body to succeed what you were attempting gives you sensations like no other.

Not everyone is capable of doing the religion thing. Just because it works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone

I think that's what a lot of people don't realize. True happiness is mudane, it's not anything earth shattering or overpowering. It's a day to day thing, small bits at a time slowly. With ups and downs and everything in-between, but it feels like we've been conditioned to expect some level of engagement and fulfilment that just doesn't seem to be sustainable or achievable.

Coming from someone who has just recently gotten over the trauma of almost dying , Any day that you wake up is chance for new possibilities. Just your existence may give someone else hope . They have just never told you. You may feel like a robot but you still have a purpose . If you did not , you would not be here. Sending hope joy and prayers.

Ugh obnoxious post.

We are here for ya man no one should feel worthless trust me I’ve been there

I think humans bond in pairs because of this tendency. One's "partner" will probably not be that similar to you. So their influence, coming from outside your stagnant-fishbowl-thinking will create some imperatives. "Imperatives" is what the lone person lacks. Being free of outside forces truly creates stagnation. Doing things you don't want to do (you THINK you don't want to do) leads to new landscapes with more intrigue.
If for some reason a "partner" is not gonna happen, you can still give yourself up to an outside force (person or situation) that sets expectations for you, and from there you can't help but stumble upon new choices.

I do not think I'm dealing with depression. But definitely I'm an overthinker, and i have too much free time now. You are right I gotta start doing something

I would suggest a pet, if animals are your thing. Cat, dog, fish, bird, hedgehog, whatever works for you, your schedule and your budget. After I attempted to take my own life four years ago I had a very difficult time trying to figure out what would make my life meaningful and worth continuing. For me, it was my family (well, really just my mother) and my pets. I cannot leave this world when my cat needs me. Some days are worse than others, but life makes more sense when I stop thinking about me, and I start considering those in my life that I have an effect on. All the other comments here have very good advice as well: stay busy, find a hobby, think positive, be mindful, and all that jazz.

You want a reason breathe air everything you see touch smell feel taste if your dead you feel nothing Why would you not wanna live just waking up everyday is motivation to live god has a plan for us all

You are not wrong to think that Life is empty and meaningless. Note that you attach the meaning to life. The “why” is important as to your actions. Feel unburdened by needing to attach meaning to things. Sometimes shit just happens. Read Voltaire. Read some Nietzsche. Enjoy the emptiness. Put things and experiences that bring you joy into your space and you will find something that works for you. And just because it works for someone else doesn’t mean it works for you. Don’t worry about them. Their actions are out of your control.

Have you been checked for depression? Everything seems meaningless if you are dealing with it. Also over-thinking things can cause issues. If you're not dealing with depression, do something to get out of yourself? A hobby maybe. There's an expression that says something to the effect that knowledge preceeds interest. So even if you think it's not a hobby you like, once you know something about it, it might interest you. I love volunteering for the local humane society. For me personally, I find meaning working and helping give animals a better life. It gets me out of my own head and I can give back to others. Limit time on social media, news, etc.

Why?

>It's not egotistical to want to live a happy life. As soon as I read it it made sense to me but who knows why I always thought the opposite. You are right it is not wrong to want that. And yeah helping others has always made me feel good so I'm gonna keep on doing that for sure

Is there anything that interests you, or that you generally like?

I retired a year ago, and after years of 60 hour workweeks, I was thinking, "Now what?" I've always loved nature. I've embraced that, and it has led me to other things. I like to walk in the woods. I walk paths, and enjoy nature slowly. Sometimes, I want to hurry. So, I bike the paths and enjoy nature faster. From there, I met more bicyclists and I ended up in a weekly group ride.

It's cold here now, and I've started sewing reusable table napkins to replace the paper towels and napkins that were going into the trash 3+ times a day. I have bird feeders up, and every morning I eagerly check the Ring videos to see what critters have gone through our yard overnight.

It's nothing earth shattering or far reaching, but it gives me joy. And that's enough for me.

It's not egotistical to want to live a happy life.

But if you can't help but feel that way, spend time helping others. It's a great way to feel good about yourself whole simultaneously spreading happiness to others who need it.

Happiness may not be easy to find but is that a good enough reason to give up trying? Not much is easy in life. I personally struggled to find a form of exercise I enjoyed for 30 years. I was resistant to exercise, gaining weight, feeling kinda shitty. Then when COVID hit I bought a bike, found trails nearby to me and now I spend a minimum of an hour a day riding, soaking up nature and it's honestly some of the happiest times I've had in years. There's nothing egotistical about that.

Thank you. I already read (I'll give a look at your book after i end Psychology and alchemy by Jung) and meditate and it helps, and i will definitely try journaling. I agree with your point of view

Motivation can only get you so far. Spend some time meditating, reading some books (I'm currently reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I recommend it) and journalling daily or as often as you can. You will discover more about yourself as you spent time with yourself. Then you will have proper reason to live.

Once you figure out a reason to do things you will have more willpower to do things daily

I used to think that too but pleasure isn't easy to find and also i think it's pretty egoistic to live like this
