How do you get over that existential “there is no point in life” shit?

there is no objective point. no big deal. you make the points up as you go. i like fucking, so i learned to cold approach. i like racing, so i made enough money to get a car i like. i like helping others, so i do consulting. et al.

I believe that the point in life is to find a point.

Once you accept this, then you can go out and strive for whatever point you find.

My goal in this life is to MAKE IMPACT ON A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT IS GOING TO LAST FOREVER

This is all a simulation and when you die you get a score at the end. We dont know what the point system is so you could either be elite at this, or a complete loser.

I'm going with loser, one of your responses was some weak shit like "maybe I should out effort into something" with some more bullshit trailing behind it.

Here this:

I guess what holds me back from just saying fuck it and going full ham on learning to get girls

I guess your a tool.

Many people attempt to define their mission through various aspects.

My Dad told me to imagine what others will write on your grave when you die. Then make choices based on how you want others to remember you.

Let's not look at life after death, but the life that remains on Earth after you die. What will you do to leave your mark in History?

There is no point .

You only have one life - do whatever your conscience let’s you do and go after all your desires.

( note - I didn’t say be a good man , bad man etc. it’s all relative )

Learn the rules of the Games you want to play and play them well so that you win them, because losing anything isn’t fun at all.

Generally, try to play long term sustainable games with infinite windows , which will give you more happiness than short term finite window games.

Example : becoming an NFL athlete before 20 is a short term game vs becoming a millionaire business owner over a lifetime is a long term game.

Example 2: Taking care of looks body and health to fuck well into your 60s - long term game

Snort coke, live fast , fuck club sluts , probably die young - short term game

Prioritising winning the long game usually gets you more happiness.

So think more on those lines than “ what’s the point of life “

It’s all a game

Realize that it frees you to give life whatever meaning you want. No constraints.
