Life is like a cycle. Live and die and then reborn again. So am i alive? I know that some of you'd think that (is this person stupid or something to ask a question like that) but really i don't know why iam living in this world anymore. The world that no one even care about me. When i was sad no one was there. When i felt lonely, no one was there either. So i asked myself everytime things like that happened. Why am i living? and iam living for what? That is why iam asking you. The people who know how to answer this question.

If your looking for meaning in your life, Im afraid no one can answer that for you. You choose that. It is not predetermined. You can make your life be about anything you want.

You sound lonely, depressed, maybe you feel rejected. So many people know exaclty how you feel. I think I am one of them.

You are alive. Dead people can't ask for help. That is clearly something you are doing in theis question. Perhaps you need a proffesional, perhaps just a friend.

There is a very good chance that someone that you see every day cares very deeply for you but either hasn't expressed it or doesnt know how to show it. Perhaps you have looked inward too much to notice the effect you have on those around you.

You are alive but are you living? There is a distinction. You get to write your own story. Make it a happy ending. I dont know if your a big reader but a common story goes like this; the protaganist meets with trials. Through those trials comes the realization that what they truly want, they already have. They just didnt notice it. Look around you.

Im rambling. I do that sometimes. Good luck.

You are alone for 1 simple reason. Because you are an individual, which makes you 1 of a kind. That however is no excuse for being lonely. There can be no arguing you are alone is your feeling as you do, millions of people feel lonely & lost.

To your question: Am i alive?
If you are breathing then yes. Even a person being kept alive by machines is alive. They preform a series of chemical reactions, which influences the unfolding of the entire universe. The simple flutter of a butterfly can manifest a series of events which results in a hurricane. Like Bart Simpson said, 'Nobody ever suspects the butterfly'
Hope that answers your question(s)
good luck ;)

Live for yourself...I will venture to guess that you are fairly young, have not had an easy go of this trainwreck we call life, and are in some sort of despair. Most if not all people will at some point have many of the same questions, although, probably for not the same reasons. Sometimes you just have to not care what others think, feel, or say, and just rely upon YOU to come up with the answers you are seeking. While not easy, ultimately only you will know whats best, what you are living for, and why you live that way.

While the answer may not at first be staring back at you be assured that the answer is there...nothing worth a damn is easy anyways. Chin up...prove to yourself that your life is worth living, this in turn will answer the "why".

Yours is not a stupid question, it's just that no one knows how to answer it. Yes, your alive, that much is obvious. Does anyone care care if your alone? Does anyone care if your sad? The answer is yes. Why are you living in this world? I believe we live for a purpose and you will find that you were placed here for a reason. Now as to what that reason is I do not know. And you may never know until the hand of God reaches out to take your hand and leads you to the reward that you have earned. Do you attend to the sad and the lonely? Do you care? Ponder that my friend.

I am sorry youre feeling down. it's hard to not let people affect our mind and emotions since others around us are such a big part of our lives;however, remember who's in control of your life...you!There are inevitable woes in everyones day to day, but the great thing about having your own life is that youre the one who gets to make the decision of HOW to react to life.perception is such a powerful concept, the way you look at something can change your whole attitude on things. what we are living in is reality, and no, unfortunately it is never perfect. so this is the part when people have to deal with the cards that have been dealt to them. you deserve too much to question your life. and even though it hurts right now, and you may not feel the best, ideas may get to the best of us of how we think of ourselves and things happening around us.you are cared for, and as you live you will build new relationships. your live is an opportunity to learn grow create discover anything you want. because it's Your life!take care of yourself.
~peace and balance~

The purpose of life is to spread love and peace, even when people spit on you, you show them kindness. When they insult you and put you down, you still show them kindness. When you feel the sting of loneliness, you show others companionship so they do not have to experience solitude. People will try to put you down to make themselves feel better. So you show them that you are better than that, its tough, you're not alone in this quest. The quest for enlightenment. Its always painful because the world is full of people that are consumed with themselves, and so those who strive to break free from the bonds of materialistic things are the outcasts. And they will insult and laugh at you. But you must persevere. For yourself, for those around you and in the hopes that the world will change for the better.

I read what you wrote. I care. How do you know I don't? When you were sad, I was somewhere else but I cared about everybody who was sad. You can too. You and I care about all lonely people. People right now, including children who pray, are sending love out to all suffering people.
I have been like you. I distract myself with books music and films to recuperate and then I am sad agian.

this is not a question of philosophy but a call for help. You need to talk to a person one on one about this. We all go though this contemplation and often it is when we are alone. Yes you are very much alive and intelligent on top of that.
talk to your family.
