What is one supposed to do in life...

[LegendaryDude]

... if allmost nothing is fun? People allways say that "you simply need to find a job that you love" if you want to have a satisfying work life. And to be honest, i don't understand how this is supposed to work. Let me assemble a list of things that are fun to me/things that i like:

> Video Games
> Playing Bass
> Sex
> Watching movies
> Going to concerts

...yup, that's it. How i'm supposed to turn any of these things into a reliable source of income is beyond me.
Video Games? Despite of what my friends are telling me simply because they're my friends, i don't have the charisma to become a youtuber. Also, that's not a reliable source of income.
Playing Bass? It's just a thing i do for fun, not nearly good enough to become a professional musician. Also, unless you are established, not a reliable source of income.
Sex? I have neither the looks nor the needed promiscuous nature to do porn.
Watching movies? Last i heard, people don't get payed for that, unless they're writing reviews, which is not my cup of tea.
Going to concerts? Same as movies

In 7 months, i'll be turning 25. So far, i have tried out several different internships. 7 or 8 i think. All of them ended with me crying in the bathroom after a couple of days. I found all of them to be unbearably annoying and boring. I once had a job for, like, 3 or 4 months. Just the same, unbearably annoying and boring. I showed up to work drunk one day because i couldn't stomach it any other way, and got fired (rightfully so). Working with other people is just nothing but pure, brainwrecking stress for me. I don't want anything to do with strangers outside of the internet.
And even if that wasn't a problem, i still don't want to settle for something that i don't enjoy. So, yeah... i have no clue what i'm supposed to do if i don't want to be stuck on government benefits for the rest of my life, but also don't want to fall back into heavy depression because my job sucks the life out of me.

Sorry for the wall of text.

Well, you're supposed to die at some point. That's the only thing that's for sure.

Find a girlfriend, I promise you won't be bored.

[Revi]

Don't listen to all the happy people who love their job then, listen to the rest who just find a job they can stomach.

You need food, you need housing, you need lots of things that cost money, and you probably want some luxuries. Games cost. Music costs. Relationships cost. Consents cost.

This idea that a job isn't supposed to feel like a job is just harmful entitlement when you take it too far.

Get a shit job, keep it till you get a less shit one, and so on.

Biologically you're meant to propagate your genes.
Socially you're meant to better society around you.
Personally you're meant to be happy.

If you can do 2 of 3 then you pretty much win!

[zenkai]

You haven't tried everything thus you never know everything you love. Sounds like you just love being lazy though

Well you're just a positive ray of sunshine aren't you? xD.

Won't the German welfare state pay for an apartment and give you money for food? You don't have to work.

Problem solved.

[Lodreh]

Form the youtube channel... just because it's not dependable income doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. If nothing else it could give you some experience, contacts, or insight on something else you might enjoy. Point is doing anything... even if you are not great at it... is always better than doing nothing. On the plus side... you mentioned you don't like writing reviews for movies... cool have a separate playlist of video reviews... maybe even for concerts... talk about the venue and the acoustics... just get out there and do something .

Yes. All the German citizens stay at home doing nothing...

/facepalm

Enjoy it in a meaningful way, and that differs person to person.

What is good in life?

Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. (Conan)

Yes, this is good.

[Kalcheus]

"Do what you want, the money will follow" is a bullshit philosophy. Find something you're good at that pays well, and use the money you make to enjoy your off hours.

Honestly, I miss the old Sion (from the game League of Legends).

What one is supposed to do in life is the age old question. It's basically defined by the self aspect of every folk around. I have no clue about what to do in life, but I have things I love. That currently fulfills my norma until something may happen later on. As I use to say it "Only time will tell."

[Nengal]

I see comments on YouTube all the time about making around $3500 a week doing nothing from home. Try that.

Yeah but I think he has to come up with his prioritys himself. :S

[GKLeatherCraft]

While having a job you find fun would be a great bonus, That's quite often fantasy, Just get a job you don't hate and use your offtime for fun, Work time is for getting income to pay things that need to be paid

Biologically you're meant to propagate your genes.!

LAWL, quantity versus quality, is that right ? It's NOT the first purpose of the Space design.... Learn how to evolve first then spread, the opposite is impossible. Balance is : Evolution 75% and spread your legs 25 % at best.

Pure vagina matriarchy design aka 0 % evolution + 100 % spread = piss+degenerated shat crossbred... less vulgar it gives = Degeneration must be overcome by a change in the reproduction system, meaning getting your seed earlier, younger, by extension a pure pedophile society.

Damnit, you all think that humans are intelligent and complex but most of you don't give a shit about how complex is a whole galaxy, a solar system, a planet like Mother Earth or the whole Uni-vers.... What is that nonsense logic ?


And what if OP asks for the Pure Cosmo-Logic... Alchemy, the Real meaning of Life.

Well, you're supposed to die at some point. That's the only thing that's for sure.

Eh you gonna die, lawl, life sucks, nature is evil... embrace my vagina, It tastes like ouroboros. ( leading the third part )

Find a girlfriend, I promise you won't be bored.

Learn how to masturbate, then why do you want to be involved in a useless couple. Freedom. ( Masturbattion kill you lymphatic system )

If play bass, you can always find a career band to play in. You will struggle, you will sleep in a van with a few other people, you will not have a luxurious life. But you will be happy enjoying all the experiences that comes with being on the road, and meeting people from all over the place.

Bassists are kinda hard to come by, especially those who are song writers, not just copy and paste bassists. I play bass in my band, because I was asked to. I generally play normal guitar. But I just love to play music, so I am happy to play bass if that is where I am needed.
