I have never found that much interest in anything i do. I try to have fun, I always do the stuff i like to do and try new things. Everything seems the same to me its either boring or i lose interest. I look forward to having a family. Finding the perfect woman for me and having chrildren but im a afraid that will lead to the same disappointment everything else does. I have so much stuff i want to do in life but I know i will never be able to do it all. Thats just makes me ask why bother at all. I don't believe in god and have no beliefs just that anything is possible. I know this is what bothers me the most because i don't know how to live. I want to do the right thing but i don't know what the right thing is. Sometimes i just want to die to have all my questions answered but i don't even know if they would be.

right now? I hope to some day find out what life is all about. Obviously I'll probably just give up and settle for a normal existance when I hit 30 or so.

I live for two principles I guess. 1) I may as well work toward having minimal pain and maximum pleasure. 2) I will do the most I can do to help others with the same

Oh, and the OP might want to check out a book called The Politics of Meaning by Michael Learner

In a word....sex

To expand... sex, my wife, my kids. Thats it. If you try to interfere with any of those 3 which bring me joy (Deny me sex, harass or threaten my wife or kids) I will kill you. Most likely in the most painful way I can possibly imagine. And let me assure you, I have a very, very vivid imagination.

I live to not die, for consciousness and thought. That's probably number one on my list.

Sometimes you scare me...

Thankfully, I dont plan on messing with you or any of your three main goals, so I guess we are cool :)

I feel like my life is one of those movies you keep watching just to find out the ending. My parents took me to a shrink a couple years ago and he said i was normal and that my parents were to blame. I don't think they are though. They have done the best they can with what they know.

Money and sex; in that order. There is nothing else worth anything in this life. Love is great! I like being in love...I love pretty girls...but pretty girls will LEAVE YOUR BROKE ASS if you don't have money to put food in the fridge and have a nice ride. :(

The Beatles worded it best: Money, that's what I want! Your lovin' gives me a thrill, but your lovin' don't pay my bills!! (Just give me money....)) That's what I want!

Well, one thing you can do is try and compare your life to the lives of others. If your parents can afford a shrink, I'm sure you have had a better life than a lot of people who have struggled just to put food on the table, etc.

Looking at the bigger picture, you sound like you are still fairly young. You have a long time (even if you are an adult at this point) to figure out what you want your life to be like. A lot of people are well into their 30s before they settle down with a job/woman/house etc.....

Try setting goals for yourself -- start small with maybe working out more, going out with friends more.. etc.. work your way up the list.

Also, I have found that summer is hard for me personally sometimes. It reminds me of how simple my life was back when I was a little kid and all I had to do was hang out with friends or play in the backyard. Thats why I do a lot of reading and pick up part time jobs for the summer when Im not going to school :)

Sex, love, and anything thats gets me high is what i live for right now. I have found that these things are just as pointless as everything else. Sex only lasts so long and you can't have it all the time. I am still trying to find love again i broke up with my ex of a year and a half about 8 months ago. Drugs of any kind just come and go like everything else and just leave you wanting more.

Sex + Drugs + Alcohol then one day you have a kid (accidentally or not) then you're life belongs to the kid. Then when the kid (or kids) grow up you harrass them into having your grandkids. Then you live for them. After that, it's over. You may catch a glimpse of your great grand kids, but likely not.

I know my life is better than a lot peoples lives thats one thing that makes it so hard. I know i live better than alot of people even though im just lower middle class. I want everyone to be able to live the same way and everything to be equal but i don't know how this is possible. I earn all the money i spend but still it means nothing to me i give it away and spend it like its just a plain white piece of paper. Like i said there is all kinds of things i would like to accomplish but there are so many things. I would never be able to do them all and that makes them pointless to me
