Is it normal that i’m not passionate about anything?

As the title says, I’m simply not passionate about anything. I have no hobbies or interests and I feel no motivation to do better, it just feel like I’m sort of dull inside. Other people my age seem so full of passion and drive where as I’m just apathetic towards everything. Sometimes I randomly feel extremely bad about myself and like I want to something to improve myself but that quickly goes away and I go back to accepting that I’m just another mediocre person.

    Do you enjoy anything at all? Or is it just that you don't enjoy what society deems as important wholesome hobbies? Cos if you do genuinely enjoy things (like tv, video games, clubbing, smoking weed, etc.), then you do indeed have interests and hobbies. The only reason you might not consider them as "real" interests is because society has been guilting you for enjoying them, because society doesn't directly profit from them. But fuck society! It's your life, you don't live for them, so do whatever makes you happy and never be ashamed of it! And don't feel like you have to find a "real" hobby or else society will judge you as lazy, that's bullshit! There's a lot to be said for the so-called "lazy" hedonistic lifestyle.

      Society profits from video games, weed and clubs.

        Yeah society still profits from consumers, but not as much as from entrepreneurs. They need entrepreneurs and so they guilt everyone into feeling like they have to study/work really hard and have constructive hobbies.

    To me life in general is meaningless and boring. Everything you or I do will likely be forgotten eventually so it’s all pointless. We are just small creatures that don’t amount to anything. A small insignificant dot in a sea of insignificant dots.

    Were you passionate about things before but not anymore? This can be a sign of depression

        More stuff than I feel like going through at the moment. I feel very burned out about life in general. I haven't given up, because I'm still here, but...

            No problemo, I just feel like I failed myself when I dropped out of college to get married that first time. I feel like something died inside of me when I chose not to continue to pursue my career in my field of study in Las Vegas, because I was afraid of failure, and I didn't relate to the culture of that city. I spent 15 years of my life living in Las Vegas, because that's where my family had relocated to, and I wasn't sure if I could make it on my own in a different city.

            In 2016 I moved halfway across the county from Las Vegas to the Houston area to pursue a new relationship, and go back to college, but it didn't turn out the way I had planned. I had so many hopes, and dreams for my new life in Kingwood, Texas. My now ex-boyfriend turned out to be a verbally, and emotionally abusive narcissist, and basically a crazy person.

            I now live next door to my elderly parents in Delaware of all places. I went from living in the second largest state in the Union to living in the second smallest. It's not horrible, because people are polite, and relatively nice, but it's so in small in Dover compared to places like Houston, and Las Vegas. The Houston area is just so big and expansive, and Las Vegas has great shopping and most everything I need is within a matter of minutes. Well, at least there's Target and Macy's here... meh.

    I get this way a lot and feel everything is pointless, because let's face it, it is. Who or whatever created this thing with live in, never told us the rules or what the goal was, and I'll be fucked if I can figure it out.

    Why bumble about aimlessly trying to reach a goal, when you have know idea what, if anything, the goal is?
