I'm not sure if i'm the only person who feels this way but i'm generally not interested about anything in life. What I mean is that I have little interest in anything in my life. 1) I explored many career paths but theirs nothing that I can truthfully say i'm interested in or even see myself doing for a living. 2) I don't have many friends other than a few i've known from elementary school. 3) I never had a GF and i'm not interested in love at all. Not to mention I distrust everyone I meet due to having a past problem of being bullied in Middle School. 4) And to top it all of, what goes on around the world (politics and that kind of garbage) makes me even more cynical about my life. There are times were I just question my own state of existence because of how dull my life is. Is their something wrong with my apathy for life? |

to address your points: #1 - I'm guessing you're in your late teens or early 20s. there is still so much time for you to find something you're interested in. #2, #3 & #4 - are you content with those? if so then nah nothing's wrong. if you feel like your life is lacking in those areas then unfortunately yes you need to go do something about it. only just got out of an apathetic phase last week. i get them every now and again but nowhere near as bad as when i was in my mid-to-late teens. it happens to loads of people so dont feel like you're the only one for me it isn't healthy cuz it affects many aspects of my life: i ignore friends, get very irritable, get into dumb arguments, and just end up not doing anything productive. now whenever my resolve falters, i try to force myself to do things so that i at least don't feel like i'm wasting away otherwise it becomes a self-feeding process for me and i spiral down even further unless i consciously do something about it.

The only thing is that my so called "apethtic phase" isn't temporary. It's more permanent being that i've been this way since Middle/High School and hasen't changed. I've tried to make friends but I end up distancing myself from people when I realized I was too different from them. I don't like to hang out with people or even go out. I'm a lot comfortable when i'm on my own. Yes, I might be 18 years old but my view has never changed before. Never have I been interested in any career in my life and I find myself still having this aptitude even today. I can try doing something but that would just be wasting my breath. I've learned over time that i'm too different then society. They'll never understand me, i'll never understand them. |

to be honest i don't know anyone who doesn't get apathetic. not having changed in the past doesn't mean you won't change in the future. i can almost guarantee that 10 years from now when you look back on your 18-year old self, you're going to think "wow I was actually like that?" even if it's only about one aspect of your life. |

I don't think it's really a problem as long as you're happy. To me, life is just wasting time trying to squeeze out happiness where you can until there's no time left to waste. My one strong relationship that I have is enough for me to be happy. If I lost that, I would probably be completely miserable, which isn't good, but I have faith that it won't fail. Something else may fill that void for you - hobbies, family, etc. |

I would like to think that it's that simple and 10 years from now i'm going to be thinking "oh what a stupid guy I was back then" but I really don't think it would be like that. Not after the things I had to endure... As for family/hobbies, I don't really have many and I never really felt close my family as of late. I consider myself to be a lone wolf.

very high chance you will be think about all the things you've yet to experience all the things you've yet to learn people continue to develop throughout their life, and a crapton of s*** can happen in a person's life in ten years... not to mention that you're still only 18 and your brain's probably still developing. but as i said, if you're content with the way things are in your life then there's really nothing to worry about.

Totally agreed 100%. A little over a year ago, I would have never thought I would be who I am today. I actually hated the people that I am similar to now. |

Maybe you feel like it's all dull now but I think once you end up finding yourself in a better situation you'll see that there are bright and exhilarating sides to life. It's just hard to imagine it until you're there. |

But if there's nothing you want to do in life, how is it going to change? Unless some random occurrence happens and changes your life the apathy won't go away. I feel the same way about pretty much everything There are a few basic things I want to do but there is absolutely no urge within me to actually try make them happen it's all so...why bother? Your life can't really change without hobbies and such, if you have no connections, ways to make friends or try new stuff nothing is really going to change is it? "Oh hey want to go hang out with that hermit guy who doesn't like anyone?" I doubt anyone has ever said that, that kind of folk are likely apathetic too and it didn't change for them. I suppose that's really quite negative but just saying it how I honestly see it. The best hope for change, I guess anyway, would be to take up some hobby or job that you don't even like in the hopes that one day you do or it branches off in to something you do like where you can meet new people, potential relationship partners and such then from there life will be enjoyable. Really hard to get the motivation to try though, but after long enough it might get easier and easier to go f*** it why not can't get even more dull. I've always liked the saying "Nothing changes if nothing changes" but yeah still waiting on some motivation... |

Theres no chance in hell I would do a hobby or job that I don't like. That's another thing i'm apethtic towards. Doing stuff that I don't like. |

Yeah that's the biggest problem there But there's probably times when it wears down anyway, perhaps while drunk? Maybe you could get drunk and go bowling or something randomly and have fine...while drunk but it's something. It's good to have people that force you to get involved with life but if nobody does it's really quite terrible. The human mind can be such an annoying thing at times like all other animals want to do their stuff why aren't all humans born with a want/need to do things being able to sit and think "why should I do that?" is such a curse. |

Well thats a creative thought but I don't drink. It's something I heavily look down against. But on to you other point, i'm totally against the idea of something I don't want to do. When that happens, i'm forcing myself to do something i'm not passionate about and thus it makes me miserable in the process. Edited by Yusuke, Oct 4 2013, 12:58 AM.

Well it changes once you find yourself in a situation to experience different things. If you've never done played a video game you might say you have no desire to play one, but one you've played it you might actually enjoy it and develop a desire to play video games. Until you know what it feels like to not be apathetic you might be content with your apathy, but if you realise that you can feel more happiness by not being apathetic then you might drive yourself towards circumstances that allow you to not be apathetic. For example your home environment might make you apathetic, but if you spend some time away from that environment you might find that you are no longer apathetic and enjoy that, and thus when you get back home you will have something to drive you to change your life. Yes to an extent the initial exposure to something that gives you a greater amount of pleasure might occur randomly, but once you're aware that that pleasure does actually exist then you can work to seek out what that thing is for you. |
