Is it normal that i don't care about a lot?

I consider myself pretty simple. I don't care about living in a big house, being rich, jewelry, romantic relationships, having a super active social life, competing with others, fame, big career, sex, ect.

I just want a few things, like privacy, some video games, stable job, internet and healthy/okay food. The only real dream I have in life is to somehow help other living beings.

For example, saving animals and helping to provide food, clothes, and shelter for orphans and homeless people.

Is this normal? Most people's dreams for the future seem to revolve around career and family.

No, you're weird and boring. 1

  • This may not be how most people feel, but it sounds like you're able to see around the distractions that make most people's lives more stressful and less meaningful than they need to be.

    Having goals is important and managing responsibility helps us grow as people, but it sounds like you have your priorities well in order. I hope you do find ways to help the people and animals you speak of. The world needs a lot more people who care about others well being more than personal wealth.

    Responsibility = the meaning of life. The more responsibilities you voluntarily take on, the richer your life will be. Always keep that in mind no matter what your goals are.

    And as for goals, make sure you have them clearly thought out in your head. Too many people don't do this because they're afraid, deep down, that if they set goals then they can also fail those goals.

    Over time, that fear makes them life's greatest failures.

    That sounds cool lol deep down I want to have a simple life as well! But idk I feel like I'm pressured to actually try and become the person my family wants me to be... So I'm not exactly sure what I want out of life or how I want to live my life at all but I wouldn't complain about having a simple life! Sounds neat to me!
