Why Does Life Seem So Boring And Pointless

Why does life seem so boring and pointless to me?

If it's not, then how can I give a meaning to it?

My good friends have all moved away to college, and I'm stuck here in community college with nobody to talk to. I spent the first few weeks of class trying to find new friends, but it doesn't seem like anyone here has anything in common with me. I have social anxiety, which makes things difficult as well.

My life consists of waking up early to go to work or class each morning, and not getting home until very late at night. I have no free-time except for the few hours between classes on Monday and Tuesday nights, and loads of homework that need to be done after 10:00 on school nights.

I'm studying to become a psychologist, but I'm not sure that that's what I want to do anymore. I feel less and less motivated every day, and I'm getting B's in my classes (which will prevent me from going to graduate school down the road).

I really want out, to take a long break, but I'm stuck in this cycle until I graduate and move into a different one. If I take even a semester off, I'll have to work even harder to pay back the government loans I took out to come here.

I'm 19 and I feel like I'm getting older, fatter, and uglier by the day. I see high school girls in stores and such, and I cry to myself thinking about how easy and comfortable life was back then and how much it's going to suck for those girls when time runs out for them.

I know this isn't normal - what can I do? I don't want to hurt the ones I love by committing suicide, but my existence seems so pointless.

Thank you, I appreciate any advice.

Why does life seem...so...pointless?

Same boat here, except I'm a 14-year-old college sophomore who graduated HS early. You can probably imagine that I have no friends (due to my age), and I've a rich fantasy life because...well, it's like you said. Fantasy is just amazingly better than reality.

I don't know what to suggest. But you did ask, what is there to experience that isn't boring. You're 22. Can't you travel (by travel I don't mean go to Italy and stare at some old paintings in buildings, but actually get a job there or something)? Get a new job? Learn and practice meditation (which is apparently the ticket out of mundane experiences) in India?

I have to agree, though. The world is pointless because life just goes on and ends. I'm lucky enough to have read a lot about Buddhism. Someday I do plan to go to India to get the f*ck out of this materialistic society and experience something more fulfilling than the cycle of suffering speckled with fleeting moments of pleasure. For now I'm stuck in college listening to and reading apathetic music/literature all day to briefly cheer myself up.

Life IS pointless, but you can create and cherish the more beautiful parts of your life, and maybe even learn to let go of your attachment to wanting pleasure and "meaning" from life. Best wishes!

Why does everything seem pointless, boring, and mundane?

The more I try to care, the less I care. The more I try to socialize, the more I realize most people aren't worth socializing with, and those that are, want nothing to do with me. Why does everything feel like a pointless continuation of habits, perpetuated by the desire to remain alive. I in theory can do anything, but I feel no desire to continue. No-one calls me, and no-one asks me to do things.

The last time someone actually asked me to hang out was over a year ago. I try to be as sociable as possible. I play sports, I play pool, I go to movie/concerts/ and get involved in clubs on campus, though no-one seems to care about my existence. All I want is for someone to acknowledge that my existence matters, and even that seems too much to ask for. I am 20 years old, and I feel like my life is at an end. I am not suicidal, though I feel with every passing day that my life is already over. I see no future. I have no goals. I am in college, but see no light after graduation. I have money, but have nothing I want to spend it on. Why is my life miserable. I try, and try, but no-one returns my calls. Certain people I care about don't even respond to my texts. I have done nothing to offend anyone. I have done nothing wrong.

I try to have a real life, but no-one wants to make it possible. How can life exist without some degree of social interaction. Why is everything ****** up?

Life seems boring at 15 , what should I do ?

Before you all answer no I do not plan on killing myself I dont even want to die x) . I feel that at age 15 everything is so boring. Because of my age I cannot do the things I would love to do ! parents and money restrict me from doing all of that. I wanna be able to drive out of my town and explore and travel cities, Explore other cultures ,I want to make films,I wanna have bon fires, I want to be able to express my creativity! Those are just somethings that I would like to do from the top of my head. I'm tired of the typical things to do at my age like going to the mall,the movies,the park etc.I have been told that I am very mature for my age so maybe that's why ? I am also a bit of a "little philosopher" I guess you can say . I like to question everything, to think deeper and question whats beyond the surface . A lot of people within my age range talk about is who had sex with who, making fun of the fat kid etc. Not sure If i am making sense right now. I appreciate what I have right now i mean cmon it is better then nothing. But now what do I have that I can work with ? Not sure if I am giving a clear description to my question, but I just dont know what to do ! I have no money, too young to apply to a job , my parents dont give me too much freedom and most of the time I am surrounded by some narrow minded people at school.

Why does doctors seem so boring?

I'm a medical student and I love to party, traveling, and get drunk, and I am very outgoing and a social butterfly. All the people in my medical school are amazing, some are shy and quiet but doesn't mean that they are boring, they have great personalities and are great to talk to. The majority of my medical school likes to have fun, drink and let their hair down, and they are extremely dedicated to their studies and work very hard. You just have to be able to find a balance and be good at managing your time & be good at organising everything. I think you are reading far into too much and you're talking about something you don't have much knowledge on - until you go to medical school and study and until you become a doctor then you can't actually write that doctors are boring. Also the job that doctors do they are from boring, they are very smart and have so much knowlegable that you could to them about anything and learn something new, and have a deep profound conversation. When you go to medical school you wont become a loner you will meet many people who have the same intrests as you and will like the same things as you. Everyone believes doctors are cold, rude and stuck up but that is not the case - doctors have to be professional and cannot take everything to heart and can't let their emotions get in the way, they may seem like they don't care but the point is they do, but feelings got in the way they wouldn't be able to do their job and you have to get some thick skin quick. Yes it is possible for someone who likes to party to become a doctor - I party and drink about 3 days a week yet I am in the top set for everything and the 20th highest achieving student in my year group (330 student) so as you can see I am down to earth and hard working. A lot of doctors are very professional, dedicated to their job and work hard during working hours but a lot after work like to go to the pub or for a nice meal to relax and to talk about the day, and to have fun. Good luck

I want to die. Why is this life so boring?

Life doesn’t have to be boring. Bored is a state of mind that can be changed.I used to feel the same. The same patterns of life would be repeated day, after day. An endless cycle of the same dull, mundane activities and habits. I didn't feel like I wanted to die, but my life did certainly feel empty and useless. I wouldn't go as far as to say I was depressed, but I was getting closer and closer to that state every day that passed.This feeling that you're experiencing isn't permanent or irreversible. It can be easy to see the beauty and wonders of life again! I don't know your age or what makes you happy, so I cannot give you tailored recommendations for you specifically of things that might make you happier. So, because of the circumstances, I will share with you what I personally do when I am feeling like this.Sometimes it can be as easy as putting on upbeat music- or any music that makes YOU happy. Sometimes I put on classical music, happy rock, or anything that I love, really.Going for a walk in the park and taking in the beauty of nature almost always lifts my spirits, especially when you see other people enjoying themselves.Make a bucket list of things you want to do or accomplish in life and try.If you have work or school, take a sick day and do something out of the ordinary. Maybe spend the day volunteering for a cause that you support, or helping someone in need. When you do something nice for others, it will almost always make you feel better as well. Even in a small way, you affect the world, so why not make a positive difference?
