I exist. so what?

The ramones didnt want to grow up either.

"we exist, for no reason"? have you not felt love? have you not been loved? have you ever smiled? the reason for living, is to feel. we live to have the chance to make something of ourselves and to keep making something of ourselves until we expire. have you ever thought about being thankful for even being able to think, or speak, or hear, or see, or smell? are you not thankful you can even go on this website and say such a thing as "we exist, for no reason". you've already thought about making something of yourself already, "doing lots of drugs and dying young," but thats it? you're giving up?

Your parents have failed you OP

Hey, WHATEVER makes you happy :) Just make sure you can take care of yourself.

Pumpedupkicks I have been browsing and ur good at giving advice can u please go to my story and help me?

You cannot begin to live until you've found something worth dying for.

Maybe your clinically depressed.

become homeless, maybe you'll find something that interests you as you watch everyone else run around.

OP is my new best friend

You're messed up, sorry to say. Mentally and emotionally sick. But you wouldn't care, would you? No reason to live ..right?

I know what you mean whast the point

I hear ya.
sometimes, I think: "I don't care. Might as well enjoy now. It doesn't matter if it's all pointless." But at the moment, I'm not feeling to positive...especially when I'm such a damned loner that I have hardly any friends. What is there to enjoy anyway?
Ugh, I'm not feeling too good today.

I know someone like this. No one else can make you care about life. I believe that meaning exists in life intrinsically, but you have to find it.

I'm sorry you feel that way, and I do too sometimes on very bad days... but it doesn't sound like you are content with feeling that way. So I would recommend trying to read some spiritual books like Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now or The Way of the Peaceful Warrior.

I used to feel similar to you, I also despised the way people live their lives ascribing great meaning to them despite living in a cocoon of 'humanity' most of the time.

Life to me is pointless if I'm going to live just like a billion other critters, never seeing beyond their critterness. I mean there's a whole universe out there with billions of stars 'n stuff, there's amazing intricacies in mathematics, philosophy, peculiar paradoxes in self-awareness meditation etc.

My life has virtually nothing human / normal about it. I am human, I'll grant that and do do human stuff and rest on some human comforts, but I treat that as a platform to explore stuff beyond it. If a crowd of people is going left, I'll go right because I think the crowd is just mindlessly following their primate DNA.

There's no reason why a highly self-aware being should cling to or be averse to existing. Humanity is constantly hypnotically telling itself stories about itself to believe in, to find meaning in. But rejecting all such stories doesn't imply wanting to cease to exist, it implies just letting things be. That you want to die probably implies that you are ascribing negative meaning to existing, that life is pointless etc, it isn't pointless, or 'pointfull', it just is.

I'd proscribe some sort of mindfullness meditation (google mindfullness in plain english, or daniel ingram, or perhaps byron katie), these are just consciouness raising tools, despite many whack-job humans binding them to yet more stories.

when ever i fell that way i rub one out and life is good...
weeds nice too

wow... ur really fukked up

"what ails you is beyond your control.. paradoxically, it's been joined by a second belief: There's nothing wrong with you, and you can have it all, if you just go for it with gusto". from: SHAM how we got here - where ever here is.

I'm not a religious person either. I think the purpose of humanity is that there is no purpose. We're here to enjoy, to live, to experience. Soak it all up. We may not have some otherworldly figure ruling over us but we are here. Why not have some fun with it?
I live for my family, my parents, my husband, our future children. And I live for my dreams, for those things I want to see and do before I die.

You and I are not so different my friend...

What do u want to live for, what do u want to die for- do u want ur life to be purposeless? it is ur choice

Well i have felt that way
but you must have a reason to feel (or to not feel anything) that way
try to think about it
there must be something that you care about

my experience
first i was sad, then nothing, and now i'm always like mad

You can live however you want. It doesn't matter to anyone but yourself (and apparently not even to you).
But don't count on waking up one morning and feeling done with life. Things happen. Attitudes change.
Your attitude is nothing new or unique. People a lot smarter than you or me have been writing about this sort of attitude for centuries. Before you shuffle off, take a look at some of it. You might find something valuable to you.
There's the old joke, "If I knew I was going to live so long, I would have taken better care of myself."

You should find a Pentecostal Church then. God has a plan for your life. If your life means nothing to you, why not give it to God?

The question is do u want to feel this way? You were put on this earth for a reason. What is ur reason? We all were born with special talents and skills and puposes maybe u should find urs...give it some thought. U should try to find the joy in life What makes u happy?this world is so beautiful trees birds countries it hard to to appreciate it and love have u ever felt love it is a wonderful thing to be in love. I know u said ur not religious but maybe u should give it a try especially if ur looking for purpose in life find it in God- pray and he will show u.
