Is it normal to feel apathetic towards life?

I don't know how to start so here goes....
To be exact I'm bored with everything i do,with my life. I don't know but i easily lose interest on things, that's why I like to try doing new things but it all ended the same, that is me, losing interest.I feel apathetic not only towards other people but also about everything else.I try to like and do new things but to no avail. So this is my question is it normal to feel apathetic towards life?

Is It Normal?

  • I'm the same. The possibility of something always seems more interesting to me than actually doing it. What I mean by that is: whatever it is that I decide to do, it never turns out as interesting as I cranked it up to be. What could I/you/we do about it? Lower our expectations, but then why would you do something that you expected to be sh!t. I'm wary of self-deception, of conditioning your responses to something; for instance, to tell yourself that you love your data input job. But in theory it should work.

      • I've tried, and I am still wary of it. But if you think about it, interests are some kind of conditioning from birth, otherwise they would be a priori, which would be really strange. And if something is a product of conditioning, then it is basically a habit, and habits can be changed.

        On another note: the only other option to feeling apathetic towards anything is to work towards something you don't care about. I'm not sure which is worse, or more importantly, more meaningless.

  • If you were really apathetic you wouldn't care.
