I've got no hopes for the future and I don't mean this from a pessimistic outlook on life either. I genuinely mean to say that I have no ambition at all. I don't even have any desire to do anything, just the wish to not do nothing. I'd rather not be a burden on my family, but even then I'm impartial to that possibility. I sometimes wish I had someone to tell me what to do with my life, if only so I could not be so stagnant. Even writing this out has me bored. I don't even feel like I'm in the pits of depression or on the verge of suicide. Emotions like that would indicate I cared enough to feel anything other than mildly unsatisfied. Death would be too much of a waste, so it isn't as though I want to kill myself either.
I've met ambitious people with the drive to reach their dreams; people who have dreams they aim to strive for, but I am not one of them. I'm capable enough to do plenty of things, this is something I do know but I lack something essential. I don't have any dreams and without that I lack the drive required to not waste my life away. I don't know what it even means to waste my life, only that I'm somehow managing to do just that. It's not my intention for this to come across as self-pitying, or as some desperate plea for attention, but I have recognized a problem and I would be grateful for some assistance. This is a problem that I'm unsure as to why it even exists in the first place, and all I'd really like is some way to understand this or some steps I can take to fix some part of myself that seems broken.
If you can offer some insight or some solution, I'd be forever grateful.

confused, need advice.
so there is this boy, its been 3 years since we know each other and I've been in love with him since the day I met him. we've also been in a friend with benefit...
Maybe your just bored with life. try going out and doing something, you could find something that interests you?
ReplyI wouldn't know really.
It's most likely you haven't found something that really inspires you and maybe you need some help, then someone telling you what to do. Could also be that you're depressed and emotionally drained too, as this can make you unmotivated or discouraged.
If you're depressed you're not going to want to do anything and you will need to seek help.
Another thing is that I do have dreams. I just can't be bothered and don't feel the need to share it with the world. I don't need to prove myself to the world that I have goals, because it makes no damn difference if I did or didn't have any.
