Does everybody here ask "what's the use of living"? I can't seem to shake the "WTF is the use?" question, it's been going on for years. My looks and intelligence are above average, I'm engaged to the girl I've loved for years (though we haven't been together for years) and I have an average social life. My only 'problems' probably are the lack of money and my disinterest in people. Yet still I can't seem to be happy. I have a very logical mind, so I'm not a very emotional person, but the emotion "happiness" I can't seem to process. When people ask me "are you happy?", I simply can't answer. I know I'm supposed to be happy since I'm lucky and whatnot, but I'm not.
I don't believe in anything bigger anymore (God, Allah etc.), I can't seem to 'get' the humor of most people and I seem to be stuck in a monotonous life (uni --> home --> uni mostly). I even think of dying sometimes. Not because I'm suicidal or something, I'm simply bored to death. I can't even self-terminate because my damned concious won't allow it. I simply endure living, like most people it seems.
I don't hate life, I don't love it either. What's the fucking use
change your job / university career to something that you actually find interesting. Stop the grind if it grinds you down.
alot of people live the way they think they are supposed to do, because they were brought up that way. So instead of crafting their own future they are living the crappy ideas of a generation past.
i d strongly suggest to seek professional help (psychotherapist). If you cant afford one or cant get a place on a treatment program, feel free to pm me
You have traversed all the 'isms' and arrived at the one which offers the fewest answers and none that conform to your pre-concieved notions. Welcome to nihilism.
kill yourself. seriously. if youre bored with life, and that apathetic, whats the harm in rolling the dice to see what happens next. i mean, if youre bored of life and think it useless, why not give death a shot and see if its better?

the fact that it's a one way trip doesn't help. It would be awesome to die, take a look at the hypotetycal place* you'll find in the afterlife and have the possibility to choose...

You mean give up instead of making an effort to find a better way of life? Besides, telling someone to commit suicide is reflecting yourself more than anything else.
Life can't be about, Money/fame/beauty even those do sometimes come into play, it has to be what your happy with or makes sense and meaning to you. never let another choose your life.....

Wow.. if i should have explained how i felt the last years it would look exactly the same
Youre right... whats the point ?

nothing to do with giving him... the guy isnt suicidal, hes just indifferent and thinks living is pointless, so im giving him an option to spice things up a little, whats the harm in that? he doesnt care, so why should you?
I know the feeling of OP. Well, sort of.
You have to find something new and entertaining for yourself. That's the hardest part. I can enjoy most of things I have but on the other hand I have the problem of falling relatively quickly into routine. And I find it quite difficult sometimes to get out of.
And when I feel I have achieved everything I can at one point, then it gets all emo... For as long as I find something new.
You just have to find yourself something new to enjoy
But there's some contradiction in your statement. It seems to me more like you are not acknowledging your feelings (depression) by saying you do not feel anything at all. Being depressed isn't a logical response to lack of stimuli.
one week on the street will change your meaning of life, u either will survive or die, but after that u will srsly reconsider your thoughts about your current situation and just live your life like the rest of us

I didn't say I don't feel anything, not counting brain damage every human has emotions. I'm just one of the people who do not process emotions like "emo's" for example. It's not something special, it's fairly common. As for depression, I don't fit teh profile (I took a mandatory psychology course for two months).
As for killing myself, I don't like most people but there are ones I do like/love. My mommy for example. So killing myself is impossible, too much collateral damage.
I'm not sad, I simply don't see the goal. Is it making babies? Is it drinking as much as I can? Is it being the richest man on earth? Meh, the "victim of capitalism" statement is probably true. We have too much, so nothing has value.

Well by biological norms humans are meant to reproduce. So you can use that as a point in life and have thousands of offspring.
Besides you are free to chose whatever you want, and set some goals in your life. That way when you succeed in one of them you would have a sense of accomplishment and fulfilment...
And values are just imaginary 'things' we set to some object and/or goals, to say capitalism is to blame would be as equal as: oh god is to blame - that is: useless. You define the values in your life, maybe your are skewed when looked at social norms, and you just need to sort them out.
In the end seeing psychiatrist might not be that bad at all. It always helps to talk with somebody, especially if that somebody can help you see things in a new perspective...
