What keeps you going?

[NineSNS]

Simply put, two thoughts:
1. I am ok the way I am
2. Everything will be all right

I find absolutely no reason to keep on living. I'm not saying I wanted to die, but there is absolutely nothing for me to keep living for.
I feel terrible anguish almost about everything. I know that a huge amount of people have a worse life than mine, but I just feel kind of empty all the time.
It's like I keep waiting for my life to begin, when it's actually passing me by.
Also, I have this feeling that I'm not being true to myself or acting the way I would really act. It's like I give out totally different person than I actually am. Have I lost touch with reality.

What are your reasons to live? What are you looking forward to?

my reason to live are many, but few stand out above else. ive been where you are, and you dont want something to do. you want attention or for words less harsh. u want to be recognized. and thats not a bad thing its human nature but to be recognized you cant wait for an oppurtunity you constantly have to strive to be your best and not so people will recognize you, that will happen on its own.. you have to do your best for YOURSELF..and if people notice you in the meantime than so be it. everyone at one point or another is going to go threw something similar. and in my case the things that i realized is. doing anything less than your best is selfish. you say somethign true. people do have worse lives than we do. but theres more to everythign than just saying it. you have to experience the feeling of understanding that statment. you walking around with a emotionless face without any motivation to go one is selfish in its own right. people all over the world wish they were in a position to go on and do there best. but they just arent in the right place to do so. but still they endure and go on and achieve as much as they can. Dont do things in life to gain positive opinions of others. but do it to for your self. when you do something you may be judged on how you affect others, but in the end everything you do reflects on your self. you ask what keeps others going? well for me its the fact that i want to be the best i can be for ME, and i started this off about selfish ness so its kinda cliche that i say that, but when im constantly striveing to be the best. im helping everyone around be by not bringing them down with me as i would if i were moping around wondering why i cant feel the need to keep going on in life.

hope this makes sense sry if it sounds stupid but. always trying to be my best try, being impecciable with my word, never assumeing and never taking anything personal. are some of the things that make me go on in life knowing that everything i do reflects on what i think of my self and what i think of my self is what matters. not what others think of me. its cliche but honestly ask your self. are you a good person? cause thats something only you can truly answer. and no matter the answer always strive to be a better person. doing that . no matter where you are in life no matter what the circumstances. you will always have something to keep you going

You all have really good points actually. And a big thank you for actually making me feel a bit better.
I have a feeling I'm being way too dramatic. I used to be stronger.
I've got to stop the whining and do something about the stuff that is bothering me I guess.

It's fine to be dramatic. At least you got the guts to talk about it. You seem like you got a lot of heart, and seem really friendly. Keep moving on man. you'll find something that you yearn for, or fight and/or live for. I sound kinda..cheesy but still. XD Sounds like Naruto o.o

I actually never bring stuff like this up with my closest ones since they already have it hard without one more person being down.
I do admit that I could be a little self centered.

i dot mean it in a bad way. think of it like this. everything you ever felt in life. i gurantee has been felt by others. its not a situation specific to you, ive goen threw it to, only diffrence is some have learned from it and somehave fallen into the whole that is self pitty. normally i wouldnt even type all that up becasue of my own insecurities but, **** it lol its the internet and who knows when you can help someone. idk your situation all to well it was just my oponion. i dont mean any offense and dont judge you personally on anything you may be feeling

 

[YowYan]

Your story pretty much sums up the past five years of my life. All I could say is; leave the broken pieces on the ground and try to live in the present but that'd be hypocritical coming from me.

I wasn't offended at all. You had many good points actually.
And you're right. Most people have probably felt the same way, too.

 

[Guardian of the Rain]

Just don't become a bitter f*ck, dude. Stay positive; keep a smile on your face even if you really have no reason to. Hateful, negative people rot this world. Plus, if you stay hopeful, I'm sure your life will get a whole lot better.
No one's opinion is absolute, but I suggest you absorb what you believe to be right out of all the advice we've given you.
Good luck and good fortune.

 

[Disquiet]

The mystery of existence.

[Forest]

[Mizutoki]

Financially, what motivates me are my sisters and mom. I want to help them buy a new house.

 

[Netferarri]

Yeah I wondered too, whats the point? Your probablly depressed like me... VM or PM me if you want to chat.

 

[-Punk-]

Honestly , i have no clue what keeps me going .

 

[Jin Hayami]

You sound complacent. Complacency kills.
Get out. Find something you like. Do it. Sitting around doing nothing all day just gets you depressed.
As for acting different.
Just talk less for a while. Listen more and think about your response to every situation. You'll find your groove.

This may sound odd, but I live to understand the mysteries of life and to learn more.. I like learning stuff and that keeps me going. This is why the Internet, the largest data-base of information encompasses almost all of my leisure life.

 

[BazzBee]

My reason to live is to travel the world i really wish to do that ^_^

 

[baah]

empty huh... well if your looking for something that will fill you... then look for something that will fill you permanently.... something that fills/satisfies you temporarily will just make you crazy.... as for me I am a Christian.... so....you know how it goes...

 

[Pwner10144]

Relise this,after death there is nothing,that can be satisfying in your case,but just imagine you will no longer feel anything you just be energy which dissipate's into empty space.
