My biggest problem is that I do not have a purpose in life

[faustianspirit]

How am I supposed to function properly If I can not find joy in anything?

I am supposed to graduate in engineering in order to inherit my dad’s companies, but I can not be arsed to go to class, to study, not because I find it hard, but because I do not find it fulfilling.

This doesn’t bother me really, but I can not shake off the feeling that I am betraying my parents, my family in general, and that thought tortures me day and night. If only I had something else I could cope with, my life would be so easy really, but nothing makes me happy, I have been living in apathy for years now, and the only thought that really comes into my mind everyday is ending it all, and that thought is so pleasing, so calming.

I do not know why I am posting this here of all places, but I can not talk about this with anyone really, all my friends seem to have some purpose, as mundane as they might seem to me, they help them to keep on going, and I do not want to bother them to be honest, so I just wanted to vent.

What keeps you going, what is your purpose in life? I am interested in hearing.

Thanks for reading

You sound textbook INTP just go into chat gpt and ask how you can navigate your life situations with this personality type.

My purpose in life is to unravel the mysteries of the world for my own understanding.

Finding a stacy wife to breed the next elite of the world. Asides of that, not much, just live comfortably in a village along my people, and being able to live healthy, so that means having money for proper food and other stuff. But I'm fine with anything because I fully accepted who I am and what can I expect from my existence. I'm happy with myself and my life. I think everyone can be too.

Sorry to break it to you but mbti has the same level of scientific research as zodiac signs

Working. He sold me. I thought he was down to be neets with me forever but he went and got a job.

I agree that it is pseudo scientific based on easily manipulated test results.

It serves a realistic framework for how people behave even if it gets it slightly wrong.

Zodiac signs however have zero correlation to personality (stars =/= personality) where as MBTI at least bases its results off of behavioral answers.

My goal is not to take it as gospel, it’s to set a baseline to use it as a tool to accurately map behavior.

Even that is still bullshit , realistic framework ? Of what exactly. The guy who created it made 7 mbti and the women who published his books added 9 more for the shits and giggles . Mbti has absolutely no correlation to behavior in the slightest if you want to learn about that just go to a therapist . The guy who made the mbti did it without even doing collective data , He’s basing everything on nothing

Very interesting, I agree with this which is why I cross reference with more scientifically accepted methods like Big Five.

Yeah but it’s boring compared to the mbti

I know and that sucks. I do wish for a system like MBTI to be more scientific but ultimately I use it as a baseline to then correct with big five and actual observations.

Something close to mbti will not be scientifically accurate until we learn about brain neurons and truly understand personality/ the actual brain itself

Yeah, for a bit now can't remember when I first started but it's sometime during 2020/21

Felt the same, then found God. God is the only real purpose, that won't ever lose his meaning
