What to do in my life.. I have no purpose?

You could talk to someone else like the other person told you to do. ( a consular, parent, sibling, etc) and it might help you but…I know how you feel because I felt like that once like (why am I living? I always do the same wake up, eat, go to school, etc.) but that changed. You have to find your purpose in life and I know you don’t believe in God probably but that is what makes sense and what gives a purpose to my life…well if you can’t accept that then there is not much you can do.. only try to survive finding a job that you enojoy and living pretty much thinking the same…

Shut your computer down and go talk to a real person.

Your parents would be a great place to start, and they probably have no idea that you feel this way.

If you can’t talk to your parents, talk to someone. They might not understand everything that you’re feeling but it’s just good to be able to say things out loud. You may even be able to come up with some solutions yourself.

And pick up that old hobby that you used to enjoy! Turn off the PC for just a little while!

School is important. If there’s anything you can do to help make your life better, keep educating yourself. Try to make a goal to get to college, that’s what I did. As for enjoying being alone, that’s fine, lot’s of people do, just don’t get too extreme with it. And people are annoying, well yeah, that’s an unfortunate fact of life.

As for purpose, my suggestion is find a purpose! It took me a while to figure out what my purpose in life was, and I came to the conclusion that my purpose is to try and achieve my goals. My goals are 1) get to college, 2) move to a new country, 3) start over in that new country. That’s my ultimate goal, and I’m slowly working towards it.

It might take you a while to figure out what your purpose is, but you’ll eventually find one, most people do. Maybe your purpose in life is to just try and enjoy life for you, or maybe it will be something else down the road, who knows. That’s up to you.

Good luck.

I’m 16 as well, and you basically summed me up in that paragraph.
However, you sound like a mixture of me AND my girlfriend, haha.

I’m a gamer. It’s what I am. I hate people, I’m not really a people person. I’ve spent more time in life Virtually than anything else, and I hate school. All of it seems pointless. Math, Science, what’s the point of learning How to graph a parabola through means of transformation? When am I ever going to use this in the career I want? It’s not included. I hate sports, and I’ve slacked off for 4 years, it’s killing my mum slowly. But, here’s the solution:

1) Make yourself noticed. Make some friends, in RL, and get out more. Personally, I haven’t touched my PS3 in three weeks. That’s a new record, haha.

2)Make plans to keep busy, and find something other than computer and games to stay happy. I started taking up hockey, even if I didn’t like it, and found it to be quite entertaining once you get into it. Do you like music? Learn to play an instrument, it’s a great way to entertain yourself, others, and broaden your life skills just THAT much more!

3)It’s not wrong to be independant, but it IS wrong to refuse help from everyone at every time. That’s what my girlfriend does. She never talks about things that bother her, or why, and it’s a ticking time bomb of emotions ready explode, about 99% ending horribly. I’m getting her to open up, and things have been going very well. Do the same for others and yourself. You’ll find that communication is a great stress reliever, no matter what some parts of society may say, like "Oh that’s gay, he talks about his feelings". It’s a part of life, and screw all the people who try to bring you down. It’s actually not very hard to ignore them.

4)I’m athiest/agnostic, but that doesn’t stop me from having friendly relationships with people from other religious views, like Christianity, or Islam. It shouldn’t be a deterrent in finding friends.

5)I had no plans for my future, and let life roll me on by. Don’t do that. Start planning NOW. You’ll find that when the time DOES come, and it WILL, you’ll have it much easier in the end. Something you love? Computers! Same! I’m planning on becoming an animator when I graduate, for starters. For that, or any occupation, plan the education and costs in advance so you’re not stuck with your jaw open when it hits you in the face.

6)Not everyone is overly outgoing, but you can’t let yourself be shut in a corner for your life. You need to take initiative in plans, like hanging out with friends. My girlfriend says that if people don’t make plans with her, they must be too busy for her. That is not the case. Random people are (for the most part) never going to come up and say, "Want to go to the mall?" Or something like that. You need to show interest in activities with them, and make plans with them. Only then will they see that you enjoy them, and they enjoy you, and THEN the friendship will begin, starting with plans being made BY them! Voila!

Life may seem pretty pointless, and curiousity may be a little overwhelming when thinking of other things, like what death would be like. But, you only get one life, my friend, and to live it sulking and depressed is not the way to go. Live happy, and full, and you will see that things aren’t as bad as they seemed.

I’m a 15 y/o girl, and I used to be sort of like you up until this April. I don’t know if you are or not, but I was addicted to my computer. 24/7 I would be on my computer, because I felt like if I left it I would be without a life. I had a lot of friends until 6th grade and after my computer addiction I had lost all of them and not had one since. I thought I had no purpose t live, because when I went to school I saw that everyone around me was happy and had friends and were more social and outgoing than me. I thought to my self all the time why was I put on the Earth and why I was so different, until April when my mom had just finally noticed my computer addiction. I always told myself I would someday walk away on my own, but I couldn’t, and I didn’t. She took away all of my electronics, and here I am starting high school with no friends. I was sooo pissed and I hated her so much for it, but she really did me a favor. Last month I noticed that I have been gaining more self confidence and social skills, I have a few friends, and there’s even this guy that I like now. I feel sooo much relieved and I never want to go back to how I was before. I don’t know if you have someone in your family that can help you, but if you do don’t hesitate to ask them. It may feel stupid, but trust me on this one. If you don’t and you know what you need to do to take that change don’t push the change back and put it off, because it starts now! This is true btw I really hope I helped you just please don’t be like me. I missed out of the joy and fun of middle school and just almost missed out of my high school years too. I suffered, became very depressed, and thought of suicide in middle school! People started to notice my depression and when I heard my grandma talking about how I needed a counselor I thought she was the fucking psychopath. But don’t put yourself down, it’s really not good for you.

Let me start by saying that there have been many people in your position that have ended high school, and gone through life happy and successful, with some kind of purpose in their minds. (Let me also tell you I’m not the best at giving advice, so please just bear with me-I’m going to try and cover as much of what you said as possible.)
Now, I’m not going to go telling you that you have a purpose on this planet or go telling you exactly what it is, because I don’t have a religion either, and I’m not sure of even my own purpose. (IMHO, who says we need one as long as we’re leading good lives?)
I’m so sorry to hear about your friends- they’re in my thoughts. All I can tell you is to remember them fondly, in the way they would want to be remembered, but don’t let what happened to them consume you and take over you. Look to the future, and try to make proud their memories, if that’s any kind of motivation.
It’s great that you love yourself, that
My advice: work hard, do what you enjoy and take good care of yourself. It’s not guaranteed that everything will fall into place after that, but that should be your top priority if you ever want to know what you want to do with yourself.
I can see where you’re coming from when it comes to social situations, but if you want people to take the pains to invite you somewhere, you need to put out some kind of effort as well. It’s cliche, but friendship is a two-street road.
Speak out a bit more, try to find the drive to get involved, start exercising more, if you can. It may all seem very basic and even idiotic, but once you get into these things and get good, they can be fun and they make life more enjoyable in general.
It’s okay that you’re on the computer, but why not turn that into a talent? Programming, decoding, photoshop, computer art, strategy- anything that you can practice and get good at and talk about and turn into hobbies, go for it. You don’t need to spend money to teach yourself something. Once you find something that you really enjoy doing, it should be easier to figure out what you want to do.
You’ll find that good things will come to you more and more easily when you go for them first.

Keep in mind, I’m not a councilor, and I don’t have any qualifications at ALL- these are just tips that I hope will help you and get you into some kind of stride.
If you really do feel like you’re lost or don’t know what to do with your future, I would just try talking to a school councilor. They should be able to help getting you on some kind of track and they don’t cost any money.

Good luck!

do something you love.
Talk to your guidance counselor about certificate programs. (2 year trade school programs)
if there arent any spots open at a local program, ask to talk to the director about payment options.

apply for a job, anything
burger king,
mcdonalds
stewarts,
dunkin donuts,
ect.

this will give you the opportunity to meet new people, and get paid (:
it will also give you something to do everyday.

remember, things always get worse before the get better.

i lost two people who were dear to me today as well.
use it as a learning experience, don’t take it personally. now at least you know who your real friends are. Family is all you really have, friends will come and go, but family will ALWAYS be there.

and..
you need to learn to love yourself before you can love others.
