What's the point?

---

I've been wondeirng a lot ltely... what's the point of living? Or life? If people are willing to take advantage of you without any thought as to what might happen to you, what's the point of trying to be good, if all you do is for nothing? I think nothing I do matters, and I'm lost... I don't know...I try to be a good person, and I don't think I succeed, and I try to help, but no one listens to what I have to say. And this is everywhere in my life. So why should I continue if I have no real goal in life? No reason to try to go on...I just don't know anymore...

My personal goal in life is to be happy ^_^ . Maybe you should make that your goal. Tell me, what makes you happy? Do you like to play sports and do athletic things, do you like to pwn n00bs at videogames, do you like to read and study? Now, what WOULD make you happy? Would you like to be more social? etc etc.Make your goal in life to live a happy, successful life and you will have one .

Having friends, and playing on the computer, and reading makes me somewhat happy... Too bad I really don't have many friends :frowning:

I don't think I will have a happy successful life either way. That's why..

It's weird to feel alone and not alone at the same time. I feel there are no people out there who feel like me, but then you find people who seem to have the exact words for how you feel and then you feel like your feelings are meaningless cuz there are so many depressed people that feel the same out there. My goal is to be happy, but with so many thing stopping that, it just makes me think of all the stuff i can't accomplish to make me happy, and that makes me feel like dying........

I know how you feel. The important thing is that you keep being a good person and being who you are. This is on the brink of existentialism. Just keep being who are and rewards will work their way to you.

I dbout that right now... so far things only have gotten worse and worse

yea, things are going downhill fast, and I've been leading the life of a good person all my life and it has only ended in pain. Being a good person does not have it's benefits anymore............

I agree... though I have a double standard, and I think you should continue trying... If I try to be a good person, things get worse... why? And if I just be myself I get treated as if I'm nothing...

Well, do you want to be a good person, you see I'm only a good person because being a not good person is just not a option for me with my family who is stuck in 1950 and doesn;t realize there are more drugs out there than cigarettes, so I don;t have a choice. But Just be good or not so good depending on what you want.

the point is for me to be true to myselfvery cliche but sometimes a really difficult thing to dolife, sometimes i really really hate it, loneliness kills it, and i hate feeling isolated from people who i think i cant relate to, its fucking difficult at times..but you just got to keep going, you can allow yourself to go under and hide away from it because then it gets worse. sometimes life is great and you need to focus on the good things. sometimes people, myself included just dwell on the negative things and its very easy to outweigh the positive with the negative.

See we all suffer the same problem, so there is no point in giving b/c we have people like ourselves to be around. I mean I have been a nice guy and I have gotten shit for while I see total jerks reap all the benefits, but I believe that we are here for a reason and we should keep being nice b/c even if we cannot get the benefit of being here, then we should be here for others b.c our upright and great kindness will make someone elses day amazing.

I guess I can try it... it's just not easy, at all...There are too many bad people that any good people are overwhelmed...

well try and make the bad people good.

“I try to be a good person, and I don't think I succeed, and I try to help, but no one listens to what I have to say. And this is everywhere in my life. So why should I continue if I have no real goal in life? No reason to try to go on...”You have too! We have too! It is what makes this world tolerable. If you stop caring who will pass along this gift to their children and continue the legacy?

There are too many bad people that any good people are overwhelmed... Once you're out of high school, it's not true. Just hang in there.

^^ your right-high school is such a small world, if you dont really fit in in the first place, when you get out of there it will be like a breath of fresh air

I could give F what other people feel good or not i want myself to be happy! And plus I like the smallness of the world of high school. I will be lost with out it. Everyone thinks im nice but I prolly say the worst things about people! I can;t understand it! I guess unless you go fuck a hoe or get stoned then your not considered bad no matter how much stuff you say.

I could give F what other people feel good or not i want myself to be happy! At the end of it all, you reap what you sow; you get back what you give. It may not be obvious while you're in high school, but it's true in the real world.

In reply to:well try and make the bad people goodI like that. At bottom, being good isn't about doing good things so they will rebound on you, even though that often happens: it's doing good because it's right, even if you are worse off as a result.

hence why i complain so much...I do everything I can to make people happier or better off. Often why I do not try and take anything that i may be able to take, why do that when it is not going to be anything useful...The happier everyone is around me, the more I know I have done my job, even if I am miserable.
