It just seems so pointless to find meaning on my own. For example, I don't care if my room is a bit messy, but I would find meaning in cleaning it if I had someone who lives with me and cares about me. Don't know if that makes sense. Same with animals, I wouldn't go to the doctor for a toothache, but if my doggo is hurting I would go to the vet right away.

This is an incel moment.

You may be wondering what an "incel moment" is, well here it is, defined.

-When confronted with interracial relationships, this triggers a primal urge in the incel. Half enraged, half aroused he is reminded by his own loneliness and the high desire to be in a meaningful relationship with a women. Protip, he never will
-When confronted by criticism of race and gender dynamics, wojacks, ad-homs will follow. The incel isn't educated so his immediate reaction is to rage and expose his white fragility
-Though he posts photos and memes about how he hates women, all he wants is to be with a women. The problem is, he's not attractive and never will be. Women avoid him like a plague so he attacks anonymously on the internet (notice how he's a complete coward).
-His response when he has no argument is typical "dilate", "nigger", "cope" "seethe" etc. You know when they post this, you've won and witnessed an incel moment.
-Deep down, they're extremely fragile and insecure. They've never really interacted with people outside of their own family so they've never developed proper intellectual and emotional relationships.
-Typically lean right, MAGA despite not really knowing anything about policy, history or society in general. They're obsessed with SJW's, women, minorities even though they don't know any. Easily brainwashed and indoctrinated. Youtubers like PJW, Milo & Steven Crowder have them changing their worldviews every video they post. They're unable to form coherent arguments but are overly emotional when it comes to issues. Notice phrases like "Political correction is destroying our media!" despite not giving any examples on set topics.
That's it folks, a quick guide to spot incel moments and incel rage. Pass it along.

Alone? Nothing exists; all is a dream. God—man—the world—the sun, the moon, the wilderness of stars—a dream, all a dream; they have no existence. Nothing exists save empty space—and you!
And you are not you—you have no body, no blood, no bones, you are but a thought. I myself have no existence; I am but a dream—your dream, creature of your imagination. In a moment you will have realized this, then you will banish me from your visions and I shall dissolve into the nothingness out of which you made me....
I am perishing already—I am failing—I am passing away. In a little while you will be alone in shoreless space, to wander its limitless solitudes without friend or comrade forever—for you will remain a thought, the only existent thought, and by your nature inextinguishable, indestructible. But I, your poor servant, have revealed you to yourself and set you free. Dream other dreams, and better!
Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!

A student once asked him: "If I haven't anything in my mind, what shall I do?"

It's been 4 years since my last relationship and in that time I feel I have grown wiser, more accepting, more willing to look at my flaws and take steps to correct them. I read, I work out, I spend time in nature, I get a dose of society at my local bar and Cafe and invest a little of each paycheck.

In spite of all this, finding the right girl has become harder, but I know it's for the right reasons. I have a better understanding of what's important and am content with solitude while I wait for the right one.

It's good that you care for others and that it drives you. It drives me too. Improving yourself improves your ability to give and improves your ability to recognize a good woman. If you care, which you do, you will get there in time.

It gets better when you except that you'll probably never be loved like that in your life. Enjoy your family and close friends who actually love you; enjoy the intimacy you can get from those around you, but you have to accept that you don't have a 'signifigant other' and if you do, you'll probably never recognize them or even meet them in this lifetime. You'll feel the pain for awhile, a kind of void that you can try to fill with work or some hobby that requires a lot of time and dedication. You'll never truly replace that need, but it will get to the point where it doesn't hurt so much.

Sometimes you'll see girls in public or something, and you'll get this melencholy feeling, but it passes quickly and you have to make sure you don't dwell on it. Sometimes I wonder, out of all the girls i've seen or met before in my life, if one of them was the one I had been looking for, but I had just missed it. I remember this one girl I met at a party; she was from England, visiting her parents here in the states. We starting talking and damn, we got along really well. We were up into the early hours of the morning, talking and laughing about everything: passions, goals, dreams, outlooks, worldviews. I have a more quiet, melencholy temperment and she was outgoing and social, but not annoying; we both complemented each other really well. I genuinely think it was one of the best nights of my life, I had a great time, and I would like to think she had a great time as well, with all the laughing and talking she did. We ended up exchanging numbers, and after awhile she left with her friends. I texted her the next morning, told her I had a great time the night before, and said I would like to hang out again sometime in the future. She never responded. I texted a couple more times over the months, but got nothing but silence. I later found out her mother had had a stroke, and was in the hospital, and she had gone back to England to be with her.

This was six years ago, and I've never met a girl like that since. Fuck, I haven't met any girls period, that was around the time my social life really started to degrade. I like to think about what could have been, even though I know I shouldn't. This kind of heaving, throbbing pain makes a great motivation to get your life together; it drove me to finally quit porn. You'll realize you're able to get through life without love and intimacy, you'll find something else to fill that hole. It just takes some time, but you'll get there. I did.

Very similar experience anon except quite recently. I ended up reciprocating interest on another occasion afterwards because she was the one who actually initially struck up conversation with me. After that second time, she started acting strange around me and was thrown off thinking I came on too strong so I backed off. I was just dumb faggot who didn’t realise that’s what some girls do and the perceived interest probably didn’t diminish. I think I fucked up by not just going further and pursuing her harder. It came to a point when one day I glanced a smile at her when she was walking by with friends and she just stared at me for two seconds as she walked by and kept walking. Later that day, we were going to cross paths again but she visibly avoided me.

I’m still hurting from it and quarantine hasn’t helped. I’ve thought about messaging her but it’s too late now. It’s just going to be pathetic and weird. I fucking hate myself so much.

You did fuck up anon. The thing is... it's not "late" she was interested at some point.
She's evading you because she thinks you "missed your chance".

Thanks for the reply anon. Not sure what you mean by this:
>it's not "late" she was interested at some point
If she's indeed determined I missed my chance, surely that means the door has closed.

And the reason why I've been dwelling on it is because it was probably the first time I've had mutual interest with a girl. Everything prior was unrequited. That's also why I thought of just messaging her out of the blue during quarantine. I'm probably not going to see her in person until the second half of the year.

Nothing is forever. If you are still interesting to her she will try to talk to you again. Just give her space. Work on you in the meantime.

>That's also why I thought of just messaging her out of the blue during quarantine.

Don't do that. Give her space. You will find her again in person and probably will have the chance to struck conversation as a means to catch up.
