Is it normal to have no goals?

it seems like I have no goals in life... I don't really know what or where I wanna be 2, 3, 4 years from now. I can't seem to find a job and I don't know what to do. I want to to back to college but I feel school is getting me depressed o_O I just wanna do something with my life but nothing seems to matter o_O

    You can't set goals if you don't have the raw information that enables you to decide what you really want.

    Take some time off. Travel around the world--or at least around the country. Explore activities, settings, and subjects that you have never explored before. Have experiences.

    Talk to people, lots of different people, young and old. Talk to those who are successful, and those who are failures. Talk to those who are happy, and those who are sad.

    Along the way, you may stumble across something that catches your interest. Explore it, see if it captivates your attention, and drives you to set, and then achieve, goals.

    There is no point in setting goals if they are just arbitrary, without any basis.

    I'm the same! I'm pretty much above average with grades and stuff but I just dot know what to do with my life. only thing I actually would do is be a footballer or basketballer im but I know my limits which is no where near pro level so yeah it's normal to have no goals

    I am in the same boat. :/ I like what the first comment said though. I've heard it as well.

    New experiences are supposed to help you figure yourself out. find out what you like and what you dont. It's a nice thing. I'm learning all of this while I am still young so it does have its benefits.

    Hey thar. Yes, you're normal. I'm exactly like that right now. Especially the last line. :/

  • You are kind of just depressed and stagnating for now, why not try talking with a school counsellor?
