i cant motivate myself to do anythign lately. i mean i goto work and work on projects there, and kinda crunch my way through stuff at school, but i'm not doing anythign because I *want* to. things that used to move me greatly now just bore me. im not depressed or anything... im just bored with life

does everybody go through this in college? did you get over it? it's making me anxious if the rest of my life im going to care this little.

oh and i have girls in my life, to the profoundly witty poster who's bound to suggest i get laid

Go down to your nearest hospital and volunteer to work around the place.
Work with the terminally ill and have chit chats with them.

If that doesn't motivate you go to hell.

Get a hobby, or meet a girl who you deeply love.

I can't speak for humanity as a whole, but yes, I've often felt like life is a complete waste. Though I am depressed, so what do I know.

i went through it my first two years in college, although I probably was depressed and much less motivated than you're describing. I guess I just broke out of it with gf + working out. The added discipline from going to the gym has really changed my life and I'm kinda stuck in "better myself" mode these days.

I worked a convalescent home as part of a probationary sentence.

Good advice.

No, I have the ultimate answer to this question. It is simple... get to know Muhammad, the messenger and prophet of God.

You might also want to look into Zoroaster, Krishna, Joseph Smith, Michel Potay, Nakayama Miki, Lou de Palingboer, Rashad Khalifa, David Koresh and Hong Xiuquan, they will give your life meaning!* They all love you so much that if you don't worship them you'll burn in hell for eternity. I wouldn't risk it if I were you, they can't all be liers or schizos, can they?

While you're at it, you might want to pick up crystal healing and black magic, they're just as filled with bullshit as any of the respected cults.

* results may vary

I'm on my 2nd year of college, and I kind of feel the same way. I'm really bored of school, and I barely study(I still manage a 3.46 GPA... maybe if I studied more I could bring it to a 3.50 :D). But, I feel more relieve when I go to the gym like Jibba said. I'm in the "better myself" mode.

I think most people have some point in their life where they lack motivation because they aren't sure what they want. I guess try and think about what you want after college and in the future and figure out how you can achieve it. Or become a crazy religious zealot, whatever works for you.

ya ya
right
allah akbar

thanks for the advice, i guess. i actually am doing volunteer work like 30 hours a week... and it's pretty satisfying. i just don't feel motivation for things that get used to get my hyped up, even things like reading or competing in forensics. i guess another way to describe it is serious disillusionment. i just don't see the point anymore.

also seriously, mada jiang is annoying as fuck. persistence is not how you get through to people, you sanctimonious shithole.

i'll try getting some more exercise in. although tbh, i don't feel much motivation for that either, and i used to run everyday. it was good to hear from people like Jibba (who i've come to expect good posts from) who've gone through the same thing. thanks!

For motivation you first need a goal.
If you don't have a reason for doing what you are doing you obviously don't have goals in life.
Make some. It doesn't matter how dumb it is, even something simple like "make this shithole a better place than if I was never here"

Find your own way to deal with it. Letting other people tell you what to do about your mental issues will get you no where. Trust me, first hand experience here. Of course, it is silly, because I am telling you what to do, but I just told you not listen to what other people tell you to do.

Oh yeah, that's the other thing. During the school year I volunteer at a local elementary school and I'm doing some work at a cool kids center this summer. I can be feeling like complete shit, and walk in there and feel a million times better cause some little kid is gonna charm the hell out of me.

Honestly, I'm probably like a lot of posters here and I still feel empty at times. It's that whole reeling from a relationship thing. Going to sleep really sucks without someone to talk to, but I manage to chug through. My guess is you're a lot more focused and successful than I was before I started working out, so that's a plus for you.

I also recommend reading Stumbling Upon Happiness. It's a psychology book, not a self help book, and it probably won't make you feel better but you'll at least understand yourself more.

EDIT: What the fuck, my race got changed to Terran. Switching to Zerg is another fine decision you can make.
