Is it odd that I don't feel like I have a purpose in life?

[DumbDosh]

Do you ever get that feeling?

Nope, I know my purpose in life. I'm an Ideas Guy™.

 

[0xDEADBEEF]

But see, that's the problem.

I feel that's what I gotta do, but I constantly feel like I don't have direction on how to proceed with that.

Like I mean, I try to practice C++ in my spare time, and I do research and some pre production on it.

But I have all these ideas in my head, and I get discouraged because I feel like I can't get enough done fast enough.

So then I start a pity party, which I usually keep to myself.

Today I guess I decided to be a sperg.

Like hell, I don't even know what genre of game it is anymore.

Start by making something small, it's what I did.

My first game was basically a two player breakout. If you don't start with something like that, you'll never improve to the point where you can make something really cool.

I thought about it a bit since last night, and I might try to do something like that.

I don't know, does anyone ever feel like they have no purpose for being here?

No matter how hard I try, I don't think I've ever come close to what it is that I have to do to feel like I belong. I feel like dead weight most of the time.

Do you ever get that feeling?

I'm sorry if this comes off as wangsty or powerleveling, but I feel I got no where else to ask this.

kill yourself my man

 

[A Hot Potato]

kill yourself my man

Wouldn't be the first time I've thought about it.

But I always immediately realize it's the pussy way out.

 

[Rabbit Bones]

I know what my purpose in life is.

Drink, drugs, and videya.

I'm happy as hell.

He's drinking cold Corona
Feels like he's getting older
Now and noticing how he's finding
Grey hairs left in the shower
Tattoos fade by the hour
And he can't understand these feelings
Why life is getting him down
He used to smile now he frowns
And cries inside
Its been this way for a while
And he can't seem to put things right

When life has been unkind
And you're losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
It feels like time's not on your side

He doesn't like to mention
Applying for his pension
So his children don't know he's heading
Into a mid-life crisis
He cant afford the prices for
The new kitchen floor he's buying
He's been a drunk all his life
Two kids, a dog and a wife
He doesn't know
And in the daytime he just sits and watches television shows

When life has been unkind
And you're losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
It feels like time's not on your side

Don't know why but somehow
The ones you love you hate now,
You feel down and blue
Look at what you've thrown away
They stood beside you all the way
Now its too late, its too late for you

When life has been unkind
And you're losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
It feels like time's not on your side

 

[SP 199]

My purpose in life is to laugh at spastics

 

[Mark Corrigan]

It's normal to feel that way when you're 20 (assuming that's your real age). Don't let it get to you, do what you're good at and do it as well as you can.
In a couple of years you'll realise that life, universe et al. have no meaning at all and you'll be OK with that. It's a liberating feeling, really.

Also, go to the gym. Seriously.

Sounds like a Deep Thoughts thread.

Just make something. Doesn't have to be good, you have to make bad things before you can make good things. And if you have made something, you can always improve it, but you can't improve on nothing. You don't want to be still pondering about the "perfect" game in half a year when you could've made at least one by then if you started today.

Fuck it, the next time I am off of work, I am going to do a shitty breakout game.

This was really eye opening.

Dear OP: I bring you a porpoise for your life.

If you're still having trouble finding a purpose in life, why not join the space pirates? We have everything your heart could desire; Metroids, R&D, the ability to come back after dying over and over again, you name it.

I'll keep that in mind.

You're perfect the way you are, Caeldori.

We sure do!

Your purpose in life was to fulfill your role in the prophecy to save humanity and restore balance to the universe. You must go on a quest and speak to the wise elders, and then bring the magical macguffin to the most dangerous dungeon in area 51. There, you must fight the beast that lurks in the shadows. When you slay the monster, God and His angels will all see the error of their ways, and merge heaven and earth into one celestial body. North Korea will crumble, and ISIS will surrender and abolish islam. Go forth on your quest. You ARE the chosen one.
