maybe i am crazy but i feel like i have no desire to live to be honest. I mean i should be happy, I am going to collage basically for free, have a guaranteed job when i graduate, am healthy, young and basically have everything I could hope for. My parents love me, and altough I have few friends (underline few) I am an ok person.Last yr at collage i got off to a rough start and pissed alot of people off due to it but since then I in theory grew as a person but alot of that haunts me.I just end up feeling like I am living for something I don't want. All my life I got good grades to please my parents, and make then proud. I went to collage becuase its expected, and honestly have no plans of grad school becuase it is not required. I have good grades, still to please my parents and my teachers but really I think i could care less. It feels like I do everything to make those around me happy except i dont becuase i have issues with letting others tell me what to do and tend to push back when shoved (ocassionally when it was only an imagined shove). Despite that though it just feels like idk what like yes i am a live but the only reason I want to stay that way is because i think it ould hurt my family if I wasn't. I show a good game but I guess i hav no intresnic desire to do antyhing in this world. Is that just teenage/young adukt normal feeling or am I legit messed up?

Is It Normal?

    I think you just have to find your passion in life. It doesn't sound like doing what others want you do to (college) is doing it for you. College just for college isn't much of a turn on. College for the purpose of being a stepping stone to something you want to do for your life's work is a turn on. And for some....college isn't the answer at all. (For example, for some, it is culinary school that gets them to their dream of being a chef...or art school that gets them to their dream of working in the art field). I think you need to talk to someone (not your family) about these issues....perhaps your college advisor. You need to figure out what IS your passion and what steps you need to take to get to be able to work in your chosen field. I wish you the best of luck.
