What do you do when you're 20+ years old and don't have a single thing that interests you in life?

I'm too scared to even go to school because there's nothing I want to study and I can't do a job I'll hate for the rest of my life.
>>
Have you tried committing suicide?
>>
>>27566912
That's not helpful, Mona.
>>
I don't know but you better think of something soon. Your 20s is when you need to make shit happen. If you hit your 30s with nothing to show for it you're fucked for life.
>>

>I don't know
Okay. Thank you Pete.

>>27567027
That's not true. You can always take out a loan and start any business you want.

do like i did. join the army. back in my days (im not old my days= 2006) we got shipped away. now, no wars just lots of fun training, exercise and friends

without any interests depression happens

sometimes fear eclipses interests

>>27566757
Then don't.

Its tough to know what to suggest without knowing your circumstances, but you don't have to commit to anything. Are you complete autist robot? Almost normie? Inbetween cyborg? Are you capable of socialising? Is your family rich, poor,. middle income? What's the job market like where you are?

If you don't have interests then obviously you're depressed, but how you move forward and if you can break out of it depends a lot on your situation. You don't need concrete plans. Society teaches that you need concrete plans, a steady job, a degree, a 401k - fuck that. You are a floating consciousness surrounded by other floating consciousnesses. Your only need is to extract the maximum amount of pleasure from your surroundings.

If I make the assumption that you hit the mid criteria for all of the above I would suggest you keep pursuing any employment that your find interesting (or least painful). Try to get as much enjoyment as possible from any situation, even if its the little pleasures - while trying to save up as much money as possible. Try to socialise as much as possible to pick up general skills. Even if you barely carry yourself socialising, keep at it until something sticks. Try to put yourself in situations which you know have the potential to be enjoyable, but put you out of your comfort zone. If the job market is shit where you are, and if you're not a massive autist, then fuck it. Move.

It might not work, and you might waste your time just feeling shit about it. But fuck it. You'll be in a hole in the ground within 60 years, might as well give it a couple goes.

Are you sure it's not the reverse?
>>
>>27566757
Most people in your shoes either suicide or shoot a place up
>>
>>27566912
I have to agree with Moaning Mona
>>
Get a not wagecuck job. The key to being happy is improving yourself. If you can't do what you love, then love what you do. Even if you suck at chemistry, if you keep at it and get really good at it, you'll learn to love it.

Listen up slick don't encourage OP to shoot something up he might do it and make /pol/ comfy as fuck

How big is your penis? Why not get a shit job and blow money on hookers, even fuck a trap if you want
>>
>>27566757
You sound like a little bitch? Timid, scared most likely gay, in your pass life were you a homosexual mouse?
>>
>>27567170
>Are you complete autist robot? Almost normie? Inbetween cyborg?
I don't know, it's been a long time since I've really interacted people. I guess I'm an autist robot, I don't have any friends and I'm in therapy for anxiety, depression, etc. I could maybe manage cyborg, that's my end goal if things work out okay, but I don't know.
>Are you capable of socialising?
Not particularly.
>Is your family rich, poor,. middle income?
Lower middle class, it's a single income providing for a family of 4, and my parents are complete tards when it comes to money management so we make a lot more on paper than we do in actuality.
>What's the job market like where you are?
I have no idea. I've only worked near minimum wage jobs. I live in the suburbs outside a small city.
>>27567254
It's average. I don't want to pay for sex, I don't see how that will help me. It'd only make me feel more inadequate.

Why not cam whore?

what do you want to be?
>>
>>27567409
If I had a vagina, I wouldn't be in this predicament in the first place.
>>
>>27567422
Dead? I dunno. I've never known. All I do is sleep, browse the internet, watch anime, and work enough to make my mother satisfied.
>>
>>27567465
what do you want? (other than death)
>>
>>27567504
He said he doesn't know.
>>
>>27567504
Money, enough money to live without working.

Companionship, someone who wants to be around me and who can love me.

A passion, something I enjoy that actually gives me purpose and meaning.

I've never had any tangible goals.
>>
>>27567556
knowing what you want to be and knowing what you want are different

for example, I don't need to know what I want to be to know that I want a gf
>>
>>27567426
You might not have a vagina but you have a boipussy ever think about that? Trap it up or go normal and put things up your ass just cam whore man

>>27566757
Yo OP all is not lost a goal you can get done easy is becoming a fucking wizard

>>27567328
Ok, well it sounds tough .. but you're in therapy which is a start and you're addressing the problem. Try and break everything down into stepping stones.

How about geeky clubs? Vidya, cards, board games - it isn't great but its a stepping stone. That's always a good start, everyone there is cyborg or lower. Might be fucking scary at first but you know most of the guys there are in a similar boat. That would be good to get your confidence up to move onto bigger things. I don't want to be a dick, but you say it's been a long time since you've interacted with people so i'll say it - personal hygiene. Its a big problem with people on the spectrum and its a easily solved problem that has massive consequences. Just a reminder. Wash daily, you'll be surprised how much it actually helps with mood too.

The next move would be identifying a job with co-workers you could enjoy being around, then working up to seeing them out of work. You might even strike it lucky and befriend a cyborg at a geek club who could introduce you to better things. You say you have no friends, do you have anyone at all remotely close you could do activities with?

I would suggest trying to do as many little things as possible to build confidence. The brain likes busy.

I don't mean to sound rude or condescending, i'm just making a few suggestions and trying to help. I find it hard to know if i'm saying something offensive, I guess that's just part of the package when you're on the spectrum.

>>27567706
Damn Robeo you might as well write a book with that long ass post, why dont you fly OP over to your place and you 2 can suck each others cock

you torrent some books and read.

Surely you browse certain boards or even like certain pictures you see on boards. read about that.

Or read about things that will help you like car care, taxes, investment

you may not like reading now but you will so just read a book

Having a job you hate isn't the worst thing in the world. Nobody enjoys everything about their job.
Socrates said that a "good wife will make you happy, and a bad one a philosopher." I think the same thing goes for a job. Of you can find a girl you like, then with a job you hate you can have the best of both worlds.
>>
>>27567789
yeah sounds like shit.

for a house to be happy it must be in lives of happy people.

>>27567921
that's pretty good, some jobs suck, trying jobs is the best way to learn about what jobs you don't like so you can quit and find something else.

Live on welfare and be a NEET until you can't take it anymore and then jump off a bridge.
