Looking for some advise on purpose...

Travel or anything you want.

Also your friends aren’t “moving on”. That implies they’re doing something smart.

Marriage, babies, whatever, just implies a prison sentence. You’d be stuck just where you are whether you did that or not, just all your options would be stripped away. That’s not progress. That’s fantasy.

Food water shelter. That’s all you need right now. Do whatever you want. Whatever makes you happy.

Also, life doesn’t have purpose. So don’t follow what everyone else does out of boredom, but it’s up to you.

Consider volunteering at a suicide center or maybe an adoption center or rev center or something that gives a human connection.

Also look into bungee jumping, skydiving, rapidwater kayaking and also rock climbing.

Every now and again you'll find yourself in these funks. It happens to most people and even myself included. As someone else mentioned, there really is no purpose to this life. I've been caught up in the same mindsets about friends moving on or even past loves having more fun and being happier now with their lives.

But all in all it's just a pre-conditioned mindset. We were all programmed to think a certain way about life. Sometimes it's hard to turn that program completely off. I always thought to myself about what a strange human condition it is to think of others who have faded from your life having it all while you feel stuck in place as if nothing changed. Is it a subconscious motivator to better ourselves and situations? Or is it just negative thoughts that we use to beat ourselves up over?

When you find yourself in those thoughts, just come here and vent or talk. We're behind you brother. Don't ever get discouraged. The future may be unknown and somewhat scary, but it also yields new and exciting beginnings regardless of the day in and day out routines.

From Jordan Peterson:

Purpose= meaning in life, which also = responsibility. We experience most of our positive emotions in life when we see that we're progressing along a big desirable goal. But once you achieve th goal, you only have about 12 hours of weightless bliss, before you're miserable and anxious again.

Justify the misery of existence, by pursuing burdens aka goals. Think of that Greek story where the man pushes the same boulder up a mountain each day, I think he was happy in that situation.

Shoulder a burden that you'd find desirable. Maybe: Provide for a beautiful hunting dog; find a hobby that will decrease the suffering of others; Have a hobby to master a new challenge (fly fishing?).

Best of luck, man!
