Is it normal to think being alive is pointless?

I am not suicidal, but I see no purpose in living.
I am very lonely and depressed, but above all I'm bored.
I would not be upset at all if a doctor told me I was going to die in a week.
I know its not normal, but how fucked up is it?

    well, basically there IS no point in life.

    ...or the entire totality of existence, for that matter.

    but if we're going to live, why not have some fun?
    find a hobby.
    i LOVE my guitar and it makes me happy to hear it sing.

    do stuff :p

    Being dead is even more pointless.
    I think the point of being alive is to enjoy yourself while having relationship with others and helping if you can.

    wow you all need to lighten up.
    sounds like you need to have some purpose in life.
    try and see life a little more positivly.

    Go and do some volunteer work for those who need help. Then you'll be too busy to be bored.

    A man can only see the world as he sees himself. So yes it's normal :D

    Personally when I see life, I see potential. Like a cascade of water hiding behind a dam, waiting for that small push.

    If you can't see a purpose in life, then find one. Maybe become more spiritually aware, i.e. start meditation or something. Go visit somewhere you've always wanted to visit. Just do something enjoyable.
