How do I find a purpose in life /biz/, my parents are wealthy and I don't have to work, but I'm just incredibly empty inside. I don't know what I should be doing with my life, I'll turn 19 soon, I could enroll in a University but there's nothing I'm interested in studying, my parents have pressured me into dating or at least trying to make friends but I'm not sure how to talk to guys. The lifestyle has probably made me socially retarded as most of my life was spent without a close friend, my closest "friend" was my tutor and even then they were just doing a job.

I can't remember the last time I was genuinely happy. I've been on a lot of trips & seen a lot of animals in captivity, I'd like to do something to help them... that's about the only thing I can think of...

Sorry for the long rambling post, my first time on this board.

Just go to uni to make friends. Nearly no one has figured out what they're supposed to do at 19, but college gives you a space to explore different options. Just do something generic like business major + compsci minor, will give you some marketable skills and you'll definitely meet cool people if you're not a total tard. To make guy friends, just invite people to smoke weed with you. It's really not hard.

Go do volunteering somewhere. Somewhere you have never gone to, 3rd world or not but culturally rich. Go learn stuff about the world in all its diversity. Go eat in southeast asia (thailand, indonesia, laos, malaysia, japan, taiwan, AVOID philippines, india) or south america (mexico, colombia, peru, chile, argentina, AVOID brazil, panama, obviously venezuela).

If after that you still have no idea what this world needs that you want to do for a living, then just probably kill yourself. But in all honesty, use that money to buy yourself some new experiences.

he's kind of right. basically the best thing to do would just be to appreciate your situation. but if you go out and have to live with no financial support for 10 years it will be so hellish that youll be happy when its over. btw OP you will be unhappy a third of the time, happy a third of the time, and what you do with the third in between is up to you. this is how binary concepts work. you can't appreciate what would give normal people happiness because you haven't been exposed to the lows

You need a purpose, that is right. You can do a lot of good in the world or you can try to further your family's wealth. There are myriads of options, your first goal is to find an ultimate goal for yourself. If you can't do it, you don't deserve your wealth and you'll probably be the start of the bloodline that ends your family's status.

What orange anon said is that with struggle in your life you might understand the feeling of accomplishing something by yourself and all that. And it works, when your parents are (kinda) rich but shit and you escape your house to work by yourself, maybe with some friends, eventually pay your own career, and make your life all by yourself, which is what i did. But I doubt it works if you always have the option to just call your parents and be back home in your comfort zone.

Work for UPS as a Preloader. It's like the military without the commitment and you'll make all sorts of weird friends and get a new perspective to figure your life out there. I and plenty others don't work there for the money as they don't pay shit.

I actually work with a couple rich kids who work here as their parents required they do something. One kid loved this job, wanted to be a driver, would work 16 hours straight. He'd show up in his new BMW and fly out to California and snort crack off 10/10 girl's asses on the weekends. Good friend of mine, your age. He hung himself on Easter, nobody knows why, I assume his parents weren't like yours. How much he loved working at UPS was a main staple at the wake.

Well it is a map, for example put your finger onto it, go to "super foods" -> research all you can find about that topic for like 3 months (and obviously then apply your findings);

then you move your finger to the adjacent position on the map -> "conventional nutritional supplements" and then you repeat your steps for research/application/integration and so on.

You do not need to use drugs, but of course LSD for example can help you to gain new insights + ideas (maybe try that above age of 25 and not now, because your brain is not yet fully developed at your age).

So you never analyzed anything. You just want to go out there, pet animals, and magically fix the world.

You think I don't like animals? Like I haven't wasted half my life for dogs, birds, and cats. I love animals. What are you? Just some retard monster that witnesses an animal in captivity on one of his million-dollar excursions and suddenly thinks he's the animal rights club/

I tried to reach out to you but at this point you'd best check yourself or wreck yourself. Of course we'd love you helping animals but it's more than money. You could do a shitload for animals once you realize that effort is required. They need you.

how long you been doing it? it's like compound interest thqh - but making it an unbreakable habit will benefit the most - it literally changes your brain over time

also i'd do at least 20 mins before bed too - begin and end your day with being totally still - better sleep, lets your mind settle from the day, wake up more clear and relaxed

ALSO, during the day just notice your breath more often, and how slow it is, and how the world (minus humans) is mostly pretty quiet and still - that can help with mindfulness. i really try to just FEEL as much and as often as possible, even if it's uncomfortable. too much thinking is what got us this miserable - best of luck anon!!

And money is not the issue with captivity no matter how you spin it. No one person has the amount of money capable of freeing them all or changing the reason for their captivity. It's business for the zoos, parks, etc, they make money off of the animals, and the only way to change that is through regulation or reform, not through spending.
