I've got no motivation and no ambition. Why?
Let me explain a litte better here. I feel as if I'm "just trucking along." I've got nothing to look foreward to & nothing to motivate me. I'm basically just living. I have no purpose at this point, but wake up, go to work and come home. And do it all again the next day. And the funny thing is I'm completely ok with that. But why? That's the thing that's bothering me. Why am I ok with that? I've heard "get a hobby", get a "girlfriend", get a "distraction" & I agree, but what? I know I need to find that something that keeps me going. Something to LIVE for. But right now I'm just going about my life. Nothings wrong with it. I have an "ok" life and "ok" job & no worries. But I'm almost like expressionless & emotionless. Nothing brightens my day nor dampens it. Can someone tell me why I feel vertually nothing? Why I'm constant? I have friends, I'm not alone or sad. I simply exist and nothing more. I don't look foreward to anything & I just don't know why. Anyone out there got any answers?
My boyfriend has no motivation, no goals, no ambitions, should I stay?
I would tell you to leave, but why should you leave? What has any of that, as bad as it sounds, got to do with love? He's not beating you up, cheating, or anything else as far as it sounds. Not doing well in school doesn't mean you dump your boyfriend, surely? Isn't that like a guy dumping his girlfriend for getting fat? If he spends all his money on weed that is a problem if you are living together. He will need something to get him out of his current mindset that he has gotten into and the weed won't be helping.Maybe the reality of you leaving will be enough? Sometimes you can't appreciate what you have till you lose it.Maybe he thinks you are happy enough with the situation as you don't give ultimatums.However, 21 is VERY young for a guy, way too young to be thinking about living as a couple in a house or kids. He probably thinks he has plenty of time to change.Men don't usually start thinking about families, kids, settling down, commitments and responsibilities till they near 30. Also, how can you be getting a phd? at 20 you haven't even finished your degree.
Why do I have no motivation to pursue a creative career?
I write short stories, poetry, screenplays and I paint, draw, take artistic, fine art photos. I'm 25 and people are always telling me to be a photographer, study it professionally or be an artist and get my stuff out there. I've tried to take these things seriously and study at college, but I've never wanted to go any further with it. I reckon my creative writing in time will be good enough to get published, but everyone prefers my photos and art. I like people on instagram that comment my work and I sometimes make booklet memoirs of my work because I think of my death sometimes. Am I depressed? Do I have no ambition? Am I lazy? Why don't I want what everyone else wants.
