Is it normal to have no ambition ?

I thought it would come one day, the desire to work, to achieve, to get a good career and know where i want to go but it didn't. I feel so awkward when people ask me what i want to do with my life because i have absolutely no idea. I don't have a normal dream of having a good job,money and a nice house with kids. I try to convince myself that I want to be successful and go to college and uni but honestly i am forcing it on me. I don't feel any passion or fire in my soul to improve and become a good member of society. At the same time i feel terrible, like i am a complete waste of space and i am ashamed that i have no purpose in life. My family cannot see me as a respectable person because of that, they call me pathetic. I am lost it's true and I thought that I would find my way somehow, but I don't. Maybe i'm lazy, maybe i find this pointless,I don't know why i have no motivations. is it normal ?
By the way,I am 20 and I am not depressed.

    I feel the same way as you do a lot of the time. Society just puts pressure on us to do all and be all we can be, when really, living the simple life is what makes some people happy. I think you should just do whatever makes you happy and screw what anybody else thinks.

    I'm just responding with the first thing on my mind. Go see a professional psychic. Ask them what your purpose of life is and what you should/can do for a living.

    You don't have to know what you want to do with your life at 20 years of age. I'm 19 myself and I attend college and I question my decision to continue my education all of time. I also have ideas of what I want to be that range from living a simple life at an average 9-5 job in a rural town to being a big shot physician in the city. Your not lazy, nor are you a waste of space, you're just deciding to live life the way you choose rather than the way others expect you to.

    I feel the Same way too. I want to be successful and stuff, But actually these are just forced dreams. What I really want is just a simple life to see the world and then die.. Having goals is just how people have lived throughout ages, but that doesn't change a fact that the nature of people is just to eat and live. Lol so it's actually pretty normal
