If the world is eventually going to end (take your pick at catastrophe), why bother with anything? Why go to work tommorow? Why bother with starting a family? Why strive towards anything?

Some people will say: "Well, just have fun while it lasts fella."

What if I don't like fun? What then? I only like purpose. I am now in college and I am completely unable to decide on anything because every task looks equally pointless.

Some people get solice in their religions but I don't. Just more questions. Even when I'm drunk I still think about this, even when I don't want to.

It really sucks to be me. A messege to parents of mentally disabled children everywhere: Be happy about it! They will never go through this. Thinking sucks.

What the hell is wrong with me?

trojan,

I'm doing all that. I am not thinking of myself at all. Their suffering is only further convincing me of how pointless everything is.

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling like this!

I'd like to start off by saying that absurdity ('pointlessness') is a naturally occuring part of life. The definition of absurd (as described by the Mirriam-Webster dictionary online):

the state or condition in which
human beings exist in an
irrational and meaningless
universe and in which human
life has no ultimate meaning
-- usually used with 'the'

This definition should remind you that although it's a difficult way to view our lives as a whole, it's widely understood, and people deal with these situations everyday! The term absurd also goes hand in hand with 'humor', and it really helps to have a humorous attitude when dealing with these kinds of ideas! Think about the comedians who use this sorf of material every day.

You really need to find someone who can show you how to laugh at these ideas! You ARE more than the sum of your parts. You're really more than a series of ridiculous statements by your 'friends'.

At least talk to a doctor, and he/she can tell you, or send you to someone else, who can tell you a better way to look at your life. You may be clinically depressed in which case, you MAY require medical care. I used to feel this way before I was treated for depression, and now I have a different outlook on life.

Apparently you have way too much time on your hands and are not living life, your just existing.
I would suggest you take this ample time and put it to good use and start helping the less fortunate, the homeless, the crippled, the disabled, children with incurable diseases, children in the burn unit or the elderly waiting for something or someone. All these people are hurting and all these people are just existing too. They all want to have a better life but the cards have been dealt and for now they just want to make the best out of the life they have left.
Why not volunteer and help these people make the best out of their remaining life. It may just help you understand that your life is not as bad as you may think.

That's a strange outlook. We are all going to die. Do you think that we mights as well get it over with now?

Even if you believe that you are just an animal that evolved, you can still enjoy yourself while you are here. Most people think that there is more to it than that, but even if you don't, sit back and enjoy the ride.
