Is there anything like this?

I don't like anything. What should I do?

  • First of all it's not a troll question. I really don't like anything which includes job, food, movies, talking and everything. It feels like I have lost interest in everything. I am 23, currently working at good software firm, living miles far from my family. I don't like my work, I also don't hate it but it don't like it either. I am doing it just for sake of doing. I am not very good at my job, just a mediocre. So, there is a lot to learn but I don't have motivation. Life is so monotonous. I have no big goals. It's boring. I am boring. I recently asked a girl and she denied. I was not expecting anything but I can't forget about her. I started working on other things- hobbies. I tried drawing but then I lost interest. I tried reading and read lots of books. Sometimes, I can't put down the book but that happens very rarely, most of times, I don't feel like reading. I tried different sports but then it seemed I am not enjoying, I am just doing for sake of doing. I feel stupid, immature, having lack of common sense. Most of days I am not even feeling energetic. I tried gym, so that I can feel tired at night and could have good night sleep but that didn't work either. There are lots of skills for me to work on. But I don't feel motivated, energetic for that. And that's worst part. I know I am not living a good life and can bring better out of myself but I am not doing anything about it. I don't take serious matter sincerely. I most of times miss my deadlines. And I don't care about that. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know what I like or what I want. I feel suffocated from inside. I feel depressed and sad. So, this is not basically a question which Quora expects it to be because I don't know what to ask. But I wanted to write what I am feeling, wanted to tell someone. Thanks for reading. Edit: Thank you people for your answers. Many people have mentioned that I should get checked with a doctor for thyroid and depression (although I fail to see any strong reason to be depressed about). I'll see a doctor, at least for thyroid. And I am going to try my best by having good food, exercise, sleep, surrounding myself with positive people and will definitely discuss with friends about my problem. I am going to try these for this month and will see if I feel any positive change and surely will update here. And if you want to add anything, you are more than welcome :)

  • Answer:

    The answer to this question has been posted many times on Quora. It is a tried and tested answer, so nothing I am saying here is either original or wise. You are bored, unmotivated, lost interest in life. Happens to many people. How can you find an interest in life? Easy Go somewhere where people struggle everyday to survive. There is no shortage of them. Go somewhere that people have been given days or weeks to live. There is no shortage of them. Go somewhere that people live in constant fear of enemies, not knowing if they or their family and friends will be alive tomorrow. Go somewhere that people will think you are special because you have money, education, and all the things they know they will never have. Go somewhere where peoples only hope in life is based on praying to the Gods. Go somewhere your youth, skills, education, understanding, and motivation, can change the world to being a better place. And when you have looked into the eyes of those you helped You will see what you have been looking for a reflection of yourself

I have no idea of thyroid but I do suggest getting  checked for depression. When I felt that nothing I did was working,  I made a board on the wall,  called 'The Wall',  wrote on top 'Who the f*ck is Ayush Srivastava?' and then began to add stuff I knew about me. Then,  once I had written down all I know,  which was pathetically small,  I made a list of what to try next. Quite a lot of them are silly and odd and something I probably wouldn't have picked for myself. I am still going through the list but let me tell you that I have tried certain things so far. I found that spark of talent I had for sketching,  I love taking pictures daily and though I sing off-key,  I am not giving it up. I haven't yet started the more adventurous things but let me tell you something,  until I started it,  everything felt dull and boring to me too. I was always too busy in a monotonous life I didn't completely love. Perhaps this is my personal therapy but I feel better now. And this is what I recommend.

Sometimes there are  situations in our life that we feel that nothing is left for us in this world. We don't like anything. We don't want to interact with anyone.  Nothing gives us pleasure, even the things which we used to do for fun earlier seem boring. But Wait... This is not the end. You are going to come out from this phase with time. Everything is in our mind. Sometimes we became attached to certain things so much that we don't observe other better things which are always present in our surroundings.  Don't be alone for many days because when we are alone in such situations for so many days, we get deviated by the negative thoughts in our mind. Try to be with friends or anyone with whom you feel positive vibes.Try something new , different even if you have to start from zeroth level.. Don't loose hope...Just Never Give Up on Anything...Always Remember You can make the change happen and rest everything will come into line..

I'm telling you what I personally do when I feel the same, I get out of my house and travel to new places or even the old places where I lived before, meeting old friends, exploring new places in the city. Don't just bother about the girl that refused your proposal but care for your friends too that might expect from you. I would say that be straight forward and tell everyone whom you trust how you feel. Sharing on quora will not help that much than asking a friend. Never forget that you are unique. Don't just find love in a girl, an aunt in your neighborhood or a person who cleans your house can be a person for a good talk. Open UP! Share. Love Yourself more than anyone. Cheer Up Man. We all are friends and members of a family. :)

Try helping others out. Use your time, effort and maybe even money on helping some one out. It could be a small gesture, like spending time with someone who is lonely or just inviting a friend out to dinner. You could also try volunteer work at a hospital or an animal shelter. There is no greater satisfaction than in knowing that you made someone's day, no matter the size of the deed.  In the process you may find out that the purpose of your life is to make a difference in the lives of others. Also do no get stuck on the fact that a girl rejected you. There are greater rejections you may have to face in life. Learn to handle the small ones so that when you face a greater one, you can deal with it like a pro.(i've experienced this first hand!) At the same time, think about why you may have been rejected, the more you analyse these things, the more your take away from them. It could be that she found your lack of interest in everything , a turn off. Rejections are a great opportunity to learn more about yourself and pave the way for self improvement.

I recommend volunteering at a homeless shelter, food bank or soup kitchen.  It will open your eyes and change your focus from inward to outward. Do it.....I promise it will be transforming

Become a volunteer to take care of people who dying in the hospital. It will let you find the point, and let you enjoy your beautiful young life. You will also learn some skill useful.

Please let us know how you go after seeing a doctor. Best of wishes to you.   Edit: I have just remembered an experience shared to me by a friend. Are you on any kind of birth control? This friend of mine once went on depo and experienced side effects similar to your explanation above. Once she came off the depo she bounced back to her normal self.   Something to think about! There could be a vast number of possibilities.

Maybe you are sad and your hormones are playing up. Mine were and I got tested and found our my hormones were all out of wack. Order a blood test at Personalabs and you can have your blood drawn that day at a lab near you and have your results a few days later.  http://www.personalabs.com Answers will make you feel better. Happy vibes to you!

. Close your eyes and try to remember something/somebody you love. There must be something you love, we all have. Some of us just don't realize. Our neurons are created to love. So do this and let you negative thoughts go away. Just close your eyes and remember something/somebody who means a lot to you. That's it. Start from there. You are good at everything. See nature around you. See mother nature. When she can carry the whole universe and withstand against its all odd, why can not you?
