Does anyone feel like their lives are meaningless?

It seems to me like there's no point in life. The way I think about it is you get an education, go to college or get a job, and then you die. I mean, what's the point? Since I am a committed Christian, I believe there is an afterlife and that we all have a purpose for living. Right now all I can think about is doing things that take my mind off of life and make me feel a bit more alive. I guess this is what they mean by your "fantasy life".

Don't work, have no friends, no social life, don't live on my own, don't go to school. I have no purpose whatsoever in life. I'm just existing right now. I put myself in this situation I guess, so it's my own fault.

Yep, same here. I've always felt like I just exist for no reason. I have only two friends that consider me a friend from school, but honestly, I HATE being around them. I never really cosidered them friends because I still don't trust them. They're always making me go with them and do things that I absolutely dread, and yet, they think I enjoy it.

Life IS meaningless.
It feels like it is meaningless most of the time.
The times in my ife when I have not felt it was meaningless I look back upon and realise that I was being deluded, and the things that made it seem "worth it" have since gone.

As I see it, it was only chance that I was born anyway. If my dad hadn't have been catholic, i probably wouldn't have been. Then does it matter whether I am here or not?

The whole universe is meaningless. It is likely just a random bubble of space time that will expand , getting darker and colder until it becomes impossible for any form of like to exist in it. Nothing we do will matter or be remembered. Even the lives of the greatest of us are nothing. Alexander the Great, Aristotle, Kubli Kahn, Charlemagne, Newton, Einstein - all dust in the wind.

I saw three leaves fall in a perfect triangle the other day, and It just made me think about how cool evolution is. The universe kicks ass, even if I can't make phone calls.

Some conquerers, and scientists who figured out the physics that already existed, I see your point. The way I see it though all the great stuff we make for ourselves is probably only great in relative to our race, and our senses. Aliens probably wouldn't give a flying ###$ about Beethoven any more than a cat does. Enjoy it because you can.

I would say that it's this materialistic system we're stuck in which is pointless, rather than life itself..
