SO I just realized my entire life is meaningless. I have no use to anyone. I feel like I'm fucking bugging out. If I'm dead, people would mourn for maybe a year or two and then move on, just like we did with my dad. And the meager acquaintances I know will forget me even faster than Bieber's new haircut.
What do I do?

idk, religiously follow a religion?

Whatever you want.
Your life hasn't changed at all.

But to what end anon? I was raised a Hindu. I fell off it sometime around 15. It's just been a steady decline since I stopped believing in a gods. I mean I still pray when stuff gets unbearable. No gods for boredom.

That's kind of terrifying to think about. I've been trying to think of something to do but it all seems as useless as the previous idea. What does this all mean? I never studied philosophy. I never took a civics class in my life.
Everyone else seems to know at least some kind of answer. And I'm just mimicking a goldfish when people ask me what I do. I can't even settle on a job.

The Indians didn't invent a god for boredom?

I'm afraid not. If I try calling them for support, they put me on hold for months.
>>16941772
maybe your lack of devotion is the reason for them "putting you on hold"

That's the thing. Believing in something like religion requires me to suspend my disbelief in such things. And while it's one of the more relaxed religions, there are still many rules and regulations one needs to follow.
I guess lack of devotion and commitment to anything is what got me here.

now you know your flaws, go on and be free!
Pick up your bible and read ecclesiastes
>baby's first existential crisis
Cute.

dud what do you expect? everyone dies. what if we would mourn everyone forever, the entire world would mourn mourn mourn every second. thats just normal and healthy to carry on.
Iktf, unfortunately, the closest anyone's got to 'solving' an existential crisis is getting distracted and forgetting about it eventually.
I suppose the problem is the psychological inclination to expect meaning, when there's no particular reason for the universe to reciprocate.
There a philosophical idea called absurdism regarding the above, try reading around that - at least you can be sure you're not the only one who's thought the same thing.

>I have no use to anyone.
The first step in to the right direction is to start living for yourself, this doesn't you should just slack off but really work to become the person you want to be, learn things you want to learn and do things you want to do and experience things you want to experience.
Life is too short to spend in front of a monitor.
