Wow, this is deep but my answer would be yes, I think your life means something. You know the old "no man is an island" thing and all. Even if you feel like your life means nothing to anyone that may not be true. I'm sure in most all cases it is not true and even if it should be, we always have the potential to mean something to someone. You don't know what tomorrow holds and you may be EXACTLY what someone needs at any given moment in time.

Its all about the ripple effect, everything that you do, or don't do, has an effect on other people, which in turn effects other people and so on and on. Every action has a reaction, but if you take away that action then there still must be an equal reaction to make up for the inaction. Life always has meaning, the more people you reach out and touch, the more meaning your life has. The meaning of life is not to be decided now, but at the end of your life. Thats when you can ask: "Did I do more good than bad?" and "Did I make a difference?"

Only you can determine that, for if your life means nothing to anyone, that would by definition mean that you yourself have chosen not to give it meaning. If you give your life meaning, you are defining yourself as a person. If that meaning influences the lives of others, then it can give them a reason to justify your existence.
Granted, having a role in society does give one a meaning, in itself, so saying that you have truly no reason to mean anything to anyone isn't even really possible. As a human you have meaning by being part of the human race, which makes you part of our gene pool. It also makes you actions as a person something which contributes the the behavior of the species as a whole.
Therefore, your life has meaning just becasue you exist.

Why do people think that their individual life has to have a meaning? Your here aren't you? Maybe it's about all of us, and being on this earth together!
It doesn't matter if no one else thinks so...

Nothing does not initiate action. The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative. Your Will is human Will. Be a human and others may reflect the same. Reflect the Judgment and others may reflect the same. Reflect on YOUR Judgment and know your self better. The Judgment is negative, the Will is positive.

It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.
Men do no great things, only small things with great love.
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.

Those are impossible questions because if there is a God your life means something to Him. If there is not, then your life certainly means something to SOMEONE, anyone.

Yes, if it still means something to me. In the end, I am my own judge. If I value my life, no one can convince me otherwise. It's impossible to please everyone, so I better please myself. Who are they anyway? I don't need anyone to tell me about the value of my life using their own point of view. This is my life. So, I better take care of it. No one else is more capable of taking care of it other than me.
If I will not love myself, then no one else will.
