[27M] No mission

There is nothing you want? You never wanted to speak a certain language? You never wanted to travel the world? You never wanted to possess a special skill? You never dreamed of anything? Being a loner software engineer is exactly what you imagined your life to be like, when you were young? Yeah?

Jesus this sounds like I wrote it, except the "not having goals/mission" part.

I got laid in a ONS twice, never had an LTR

I know majority think this place is mainly for getting women/laid, but the vets know for a fact that women are not the goal.

Like vandaalen said, there's nothing you want? I fucking love women, but the act of actually trying just to get one of the mold is fucking boring, to me. Small social circle, but thats how I want it, 90% of people are garbage.

My main goal right now is to save up money/time to travel. I've never been overseas (Europe, Asia) that shit, so I want to do the whole slut backpacking thing for a month (even though I'm about to be 30).

Eventually, I want to leave the states altogether. Maybe move to Canada or down south somewhere.

You sound divorced from the emotional and spiritual sides of your human animal.

I'd do two main things:

Get in touch with yourself. How varies, but for most men, nature and meditation work wonders. Helps peel away the bullshit of every day life and work and find what you really care about. Music and dance can help immensely too in getting in touch with both your spiritual and emotional sides. Women of course also help with both of these as they tend to be more into these sides of themselves over their intellectual side.

Make a list of your skills and values. See how they line up, what else you want to learn to do. Crossing disciplines is what most end up doing organically

Ultimately together, given enough time, you will see how you want to change the world in your own way.

Find your next quest, and don't expect the answer to come easily.

Trust me. Travel. Alone. Get your stuff and fly somewhere. Unknown place. Doesn’t matter you ever wanted to visited the place or not. Go to the next airport and book a ticket and fly somewhere. Get out of your comfort zone and get connected with people you do not know.

I know how you feel. Been or if I am honest with you, still I am in the same situation. It’s the way we live these days. Completely disconnected from the outside world. You can spend your whole weekend at home and entertain yourself with tv, video games and many more. I know this. Get out. And most importantly: it is not a problem at all if you do NOT have a mission! Living life doesn’t necessarily need a plan. Do what you want. What you like, But if you feel like there is a missing spot, do something. Get out of your comfort zone.

Many people where I come from do it by travelling.

Quit your job and go to a ~year long trip, either in South America or Asia, to "find yourself".

Look into the Self Authoring program. If you haven't already.

Your mission is usually right in front of your face, but you are standing too close to see the whole picture.

I recommend to take a 1 year break and backpacking to SE Asia. Spend some time there, learn the basics of the local language(where you will stay) very high chances of getting laid too.

Join a trade. Good pay, benefits, job security.
