why does it seem like life is pointless?

Lıf ıs never poıntless.

Lıve lıfe lıke theres no tomorrow. Love every day.

I dunno who ya r, but you need to gıve urself a shake. Do somethıng that makes you happy.

Do you belıeve ın God? If so, then pray to Hım for some guıdance and for somethıng to come and fıll your lıfe to make you content.

I am 24, I was homeless for 2 yrs, up untıl 2006. I really prayed hard for the Lord to help me outta my dark hole and take me away from where ı was. I am now happıly marrıed and expectıng a baby and lıvıng ın a foreıgn country.

Gıve God a go!!!!!

If you make a positive difference to somebody's life, how is yours pointless? Nobody agrees if life has meaning or not; you need to find your own meaning. I'm sorry this sounds so pat, or simple. I don't want to write an essay or sound like a hippy! Be helpful to others, positive and generous and hope that these qualities rub off on others. Smile at a stranger, wave at an old lady! Little things build up. If someone you know does something well, say so.

Because life is pointless. There isn't a rigid guide to how to succeed and different people have different views on what success is. The only purpose in life is to be happy. Choose what you enjoy and do it on a regular basis. The only time you can fail at life is when you give up and become a stagnating couch potato.

Beacuse the religion you are following is wrong!!! I am sorry to say that, I do not want to insult any religion or harm anyone's feelings but that is the truth. I use to have same feelings once upon a time. I was very close to killing myself or going crazy. Then I met a Muslim friend who entirely changed my life. I converted to Islam which is the right and the only true religion and start praying as a Muslim. Beleive me, my life changed forever!!! I am the happiest person in the world. I think you should learn and study Islam. I am sure it will concence you.

I have always believed that everyone on earth is put here to make a contribution to the daily events of the planet. Whether your role on the planet is as an ant or as a human, you have a role to play, whether you be the local rubbish collector or a very important person or a politician, train driver, bus driver and or any other vocation that you either choose or that which has been chosen for you, that is the reason for living.

Hmmmm, life isn't pointless, the key is finding what makes your life worthwhile. For me it's several things, to start with family and I also have other things like my guitar and photography. Maybe if you found something to take part in and really get involved, you may begin to feel a much stronger sense of belonging and life within you. I used to think like that in high school, but now I live wonderfully with my Family and the things that make me happy and belong like my guitar and photography, and it also helps because I know people enjoy the work I do with my guitar and photography.

I hope this helps!

You're suffering from depression; I suggest meds and counseling and the following book: "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy," by David D Burns. It's available from Amazon.com and it helped me tremendously.

As for life being pointless, it's not. All your pain will be redeemed. Life is about learning to control emotions. Everything you learn--admittedly at great cost in pain, is yours to keep forever.

You're also suffering from self-hate--the name you chose for yourself, "Stupid Girl," indicates this. There is another book for you to read: "Compassion and Self-Hate: An Alternative To Despair," by Theodore I Rubin, M.D.. Buy it and study it. Then give yourself a new name.

Good luck...

Everything depends on you & your decision.If you feel that life has no purpose then try to set a good purpose for your life.Life is so beautiful & time is so precious.Go out & enjoy life with your loved ones.Share it with your friends.Feel the beauty of nature & treasure your existence coz God created everything with a purpose.

Your life by the sounds of it is incomplete and not busy enough for your personality. I have lots of time to think about the reality and believe me its best to get busy either working , taking some courses to stimulate your mind etc etc .. within the boundaries of your marraige etc. as I read one time " I happened upon reality and swiftly moved on". LIfe is tough but never pointless. dont be lazy as its one of the seven deadly sins. ok.

it kinda does... but we see life only at one perspective, and it's not until we see others' experiences that we find out that there are a lot of things that make life pointless, but we don't always have to see it that way..those thingssomehow contribute soemthing in our lives...just try reading " the meaning of life" by viktor frankl
