Is it okay to feel like "what's the point in living?" Or is it not right at all?

It is, I feel that everyday, but there is no way you've never cared about anything, that's the reminder that helps me, I didn't feel this way until I felt I personally stopped putting myself out there and living in my head, that's when I had and probably still have those life means nothing ideology, it's pretty ironic though, one would think that on the bright side that means that you can do whatever you want because it doesn't matter, in reality you end up doing nothing because nothing matters, my advice for you would be to do more shit, put yourself out there, there'll be something you care about, a guy or girl you like or whatever it is, if you care then you got something to do

Excellent advice.

@AmandaYVR Thank you I do try my best, sometimes

[AmandaYVR]

It's better to think about "How can I live better"

It's called existentialism. We exist before essence or meaning. I personally like the thought experiment of the absurd hero sisyphus. In greek mythology an arrogant king is punish by the gods to push a Boulder up a mountain and once it was on top would roll down to the bottom to be pushed up again and again.

I think this is a really good metaphor for our own lifes. From daily to yearly everyday life, and larger education or career goals. In this absurdity of pushing yourself up a hill each and everyday after every goal just to roll to the bottom to start over. We'll basically torture ourselves chasing the essence and meaning of life racing to the top of the mountain.

For myself i believe to find meaningful existence is to fall in love the process inside of life.

To whom has the authority to say what is and isn't right? Pretty much all of what we think of right and wrong piggy backs off of another persons ideas, even when there opposites so dont get lost on someone elses ideas. Even those who have never asked themselves that exact question have pondered what it is. By that I mean, I everything we do everday is feeling like what the point, because whatever action any of us takes is from that thought.


If you want the bare knuckle organic cut the bullshit reason... Its to stay alive long enough to reproduce and nurture our offspring to be self sufficient to the point they are capable of doing the same... Just like all creatures and living things on this planet, The continuance of the species... Instincts...

I think most of us ask that at some point in time and ultimately the answer is what you make it. I personally am choosing the "maximize happiness and pleasure route" and I'm the happiest person I know.

At one point or another in your life, you're going to ask that question. I already did, and I've been to hell and back. I would say the point is not to think so much what the point is and to try to enjoy it as much as possible.

i live with that feeling all the time. And it’s not right, i used to have a very happy life. And i want it again, but until then i fight those dark feelings.

You won't know until you start living, kiddo.

[FilmGuy93]

I used to think things like that, but now I couldn't care less. I'm alive, that's all that matters. I don't need to understand some deeper grand scheme to understand that this is my one shot at living a good life. I may as well enjoy myself.

Very common, and it's a serious problem, many people lack purpose in life, and direction. You are the only person who can solve that problem, you just have to keep looking for solutions, never give up.

No meaningful point honestly. Just enjoy yourself and stop worrying about anything else

[ALPHABLACK]

It's absolutely ok, no one can give a clear answer as to why we are alive or why do we live

[exitseven]

I bet everyone feels like that at some point in time .

[joeldalton]

I mean, it's ok to have those feelings. Everyone has down times in their life. However, it's not ok to continue to wallow in it.

[In_Trance]

It's normal and common

[fireforeffect]

Not right at all.
