Is it normal that i don’t want to do anything with my life?

I really just couldn’t care less. No dreams. No particular career in mind. No interest in getting married, raising a family, being “successful”, etc. All I’ve ever wanted is any steady job, a 1-bedroom apartment I can reasonably afford, an internet connection, maybe a cat, and to be left alone to go on like that until I die. Any more would be excessive and unenjoyable; any less and I’d be deprived. What do you think?

    It's ok, a lot of people are more than ok to live out a peaceful life, without aiming for the stars. Some people aren't interested in big dreams, yachts, houses, businesses and such. They are happy with the small things in life.

    Personally, living like that would depress the hell out of me and turn me into an alcoholic.
    My dream is big wealth and being able to do what I want in my town. When you have big money in Bulgaria, life is a dream come true. That's why I work 2 jobs and have my own business.

    But if you're happy with such a life choice - that's all that matters and shouldn't be judged negatively for it.

    I got friends like that and they are genuinely great people. Friendly, supportive, helpful and generally nice to be around.

    You seemed depressed perhaps. If you aim low in life but you don't mind achieving low, that not a problem. But the fact that you bring it up on here shows to me you are in doubt that it is what you really want.

    No matter what someone has, sooner or later they get bored with it.
    One would think a "successful' life would be great but what happens when you get that? Then what?

    I think it is normal enough to want to get by and not be overly concerned with "success".

    One thing about many people that "have it all" is they also tend to carry tons of debt that they will likely never be able to repay. Of course we are encouraged to get ourselves into that situation so companies can keep bleeding our wallets.

    I think you are being too hard on yourself.

      I’m sorry, but how do you mean? All of this is true. There was no exaggeration.

        Well, if you are able to acquire gainful employment, and support yourself you are not simply doing nothing with your life.

          Good point, you’re right, but it just seems like everyone around me is aiming so much higher and is not-so-subtly disappointed that I’m not doing the same. There’s a great deal of pressure not just to lead a functional life, but an interesting one to boot.

            I think you should do you, baby. Don't let anyone push into being anything you are not.
