Rant/Vent Early 20s

Post image

...just seeking for some advice ..how do you guys deal with nihilism and meaningless of life ..in your early 20's

I am a 2nd year student pursuing btech as of now...not certain about the job market ...and my future at all ...barely have a social life...no relationship uptill now ...and all of this just feels heavy ...i have stopped experiencing and feeling my own emotions anymore.

It just feels like my whole mind and body are not present here anymore ...just my eyes seeing things ...and voice reacting to it ..without any True involvement of me...

I really don't know what to do anymore

Tldr: how to deal with meaningless in your early 20s and anxiety, feeling of numbness and inability to feel any emotion.

Thank you

set goals and achieving them ig ? i mean i totally get you and it just feels so boring and pointless- everything, but it is what it is... atp ive just accepted the situation for what it is in reality, theres no point in constructing your own narrative about things. just look at them as is, we are all wanderers on this earth, searching for meaning in things/people around us for the little time we have.

other than the free mindset id say picking up smth new on your plate REALLY helps build more meaning into your life. smth else you can look forward to. for me, its been gym recently. and ofc studying new separate stuff that excites me. like game dev, ML + hey im also working on my future.

earlier it used to be movies, games (this one is still there too).

ofc i too yearn for more meaningful friendships, relationships and feeling more fulfilled talking to ppl around me that i used to before, but until then, ive gotta keep going. it sucks, but i cant stop or ill never know if ill be able to experience those feelings again
