Is it normal that i think life is almost pointless?

I am just an average teenager, I am a scene kid, I have a beautiful girlfriend that I love, and tons of great friends and family.

But recently I have just been feeling down. I feel I am fat even, even though I'm 20 pounds under-weight, I hate spending time with my family most of the time, I feel like my best friend hates me, and that life is almost pointless.

I say almost because I do have things to live for, like I said I have a girlfriend that I love, I do love music, and I have a good future ahead of me too.

I am not suicidal, even though when I was younger I have had suicidal thoughts, but no attempts. I am just having a hard time understanding life?

I dont know how to explain what I am feeling, I just feel like crying sometimes, sometimes I want to sleep all day, and some times I want to just get out there and grab the world by the horns.

    dont worry about what life is all about because you are going to waste it looking for an answer. just live life to the full, have fun and dont wake up when your life is over wondering about the things you could have done.

    life is pointless unless you can find a job that you love or have kids. but people who work 2-3 bullshit minimum wage jobs just to get by, or one highly paid job that they hate, well that's no life at all.

    the answer is quite simple, yet complex simultaneously. the answer is love.

    I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY AS YOU. It's always in the back of my head- what am I living for, and why? Life is so light- because when all is done, it seems that nothing will truely matter because our existence in limited in time. Im an atheist (by default, I didn't choose to not believe in anything I simply can;t) but I'd suggest delving deeper into what you believe, analyze yourself and the world more.

  • You're normal, pretty much every teenager feels like that from time to time.
