[@later5117]

Thing with me is, I really do have no motivation, everytime I try to find something I want to do, I start having an existential crisis. "So what if I do this? In the long run I don't even matter at all, anything I do will be forgotten anyway, so why even start?" I know it sounds like I have huge expectations of myself and my ego is twice the size of my head, but I really wish I really could find that one thing which would bring me joy in life. I've had bursts of motivation from time to time but all that crumbles within days and my anxiety piles up again, it's a vicious cycle.

[@WarframeCrunch]

@ريان مروة Thats not 100% good point. For Example I wanted to draw , because from days in school my friends were saying that I have tallent for it. But when i was drawing, I finally draw something after several hours I wasn't satisfied, so I left it. Then I wanted to create a game, but when I started to learn programming I realized it is too hard for me to learn all that stuff and too though to deal with all the bugs that come while programming. So I'm at the point where the only one thing I would like to do in life is to create Metal Music, I loved the music, but I found that when I'm at older age I'm not so satisfied with the music so often as it was before. But anyway I started to learn on Electric Guitar, and I really would like to play like pro, but there is too much practice to learn even easy looking thing. So again I'm not motivated to work hard on it, because it takes too much time to learn the basic stuff that I don't want to deal with.

Ifrit of Doom The way u look at things will determine the feeling u get, So try to look at things on a way that will bring u your desired feeling. For example if u say “to though to deal with bugs” then u wont get your desired feeling. Because only judging by the word “to” U believe that ur not capable anymore. And if u believe that than nature wont give u motivation (so u don’t waist energie on something that cant be done) but the truth is it can be done. If u want to know what you should do instead let me know

I am from Sri Lanka. I sat for the competitive exam here for the first time and got good results. That result was enough to make my dream come true. But my parents expected a better result from me. I sat for the exam for the second time with the intention of fulfilling my parents' expectations.The moment I say this, I'm in the exam time.It seems that I can not live up to my parents' expectations this time around too.I spent the first two and a half years on the exam dedicating everything to my happiness and hobbies, dedicating everything I liked and concentrating on my studies.It was a really really hard time.I was under a lot of stress..I finally got the result I could have dreamed of..but this year I faced that exam again to fulfill my parents' expectations. But this time I could not bear the pressure.I could not work as much as before. I'm afraid this time I will get worse results than before. Will I have to suffer for the rest of my life if that happens? I do not know if anyone understands my condition. What should I do now? :-(

Stop living for your parents and start living for yourself

4:01 how are you supposed to be motivated when you don‘t even wanna be there School: let me just end this mans career real quick*

[@Lnrs2us]

I sometimes have motivation but sometimes I don’t because I’m tired or I feel like I’m gonna get kicked down by my own family. By telling me stuff, therefore they kill my energy, I want to be alone to do many things but I can’t cause I live with toxic people😕. I don’t know what to do. I’m hoping once I’m 16 I can change everything and escape to do what I want.

[@bubbly_snowflake459]

I'm not motivated because all of this stupid non-stop homeworks and online classes all I have, quarantine sucks so bad I just wanna meet my friends since they are the only one who is there for me when I'm sad

[@Thatfiya3401]

I’ll be your friend

It really didn’t help me in anything watching this video...

[@johnglass633]

You can only be ignored so much until you realize you're wasting your time . Knowing that you lose motivation. It's like what the heck do I exist or am I just imagining I exist.. then you retire and sleep your life away

Sometimes I get excited and think about my goals such as going to the gym and workout to be in the shape I want to be in….. then I think about how life is pointless and it all goes away. It sucks

[@jecamjesusenergycomenafter6178]

Priceless exactly what I need.

[@project.protagonist]

That number 3 hit on the nail. Like bruh. I wanna do stuff after work but my family give me literally no time to do so. And then I feel guilty for being too exhausted to do what I want and end up falling asleep while watching a show.

[@Jiyojin]

This is kinda true- I have lack of motivation sometimes.

[@bigjay0888]

I have zero motivation but I still force myself to run and workout everyday because I reward myself for doing so.

[@psnyder7914]

someone has been watching me. . .

[@trollconfiavel]

There is 1 thing that motivates me When people WANT *ME* to do something for them When they feel i'm helping them in something they're struggling When they're struggling, I'm not struggling anymore Gratefulness motivates me The problem is: i need people to want me frequently, and having that is extremely hard

[@TheLadyEmerald809]

For me it was depression, I needed hormonal contraceptives and antidepressants to actually feel like a human. Nowadays is so easy to simply do whatever I want and say “no” to those I don’t like , because I’m very confident now , thanks to having a good hormonal level

[@mrmightyj5202]

I was so motivated before but know I never get time for myself there’s always drama between family and my freinds and everyone in my house is always yelling, and screaming and bieng loud my mother is always blasting music downstairs and I don’t have a place to properly work. I always get sensory overload and my grades are a living hell. I hate my life sometimes. I don’t want to die I just wish I was never born.

[@vergilthedeadbeat5474]

Bury the light kicks in Now I am motivated!

[@meizhuwu4312]

what if youre not even motivated to improve yourself? then is that a dead end?

[@starlostgirlie]

Here I am getting even more demotivated from these comments

[@brotherseraphim9700]

A thought comes to mind, that instead of seeking goals or passions, we might *decide* our goals; if they fade, try new ones. Instead of waiting around, picking a direction and going for it, checking once in awhile to see if it needs tweaking or changing. If life is anything like piloting a ship across the sea, gee, wouldn't want to let it drift, or wait for something to happen. :)
