I dont have any purpose in life and i'm afraid to work

Hi,

I'm 25 yo and i graduated with a master's degree almost 2 years ago. Before i even graduated, realized the course that i studied wasn't what I wanted to do especially that it involves socializing, as well as pushing sales. The reason why i wanted to take the master's course was that i thought i could delay my time to work, as well as to live in a foreign country which i hoped i could become more bold in life. But I didnt really change drastically...

The discipline that I major in is sports which i initially loved becoz i liked to go to the gym and worked out. But i realized it was all about myself and once i got injured (still injured), i felt like i didnt even like to be involved in sports anymore. Moreover, being a fitness coach (the only thing i think im good at) involves a lot of social interactions as well as doing sales. I really dont like to do sales, in the sense that when people start saying no, i would just back off. I think you get the idea.

For the past 7 months before July, i was working as a waiter and again due to social anxiety, i hated it so much. The only thing that kept me going was the money and the urge to buy stuff. Like every now and then, I would shop online and do many upgrades for my computer or get a new phone etc. I would also sell them at a cheaper price which i regret so badly.

Just 1 month ago, I quit the job and now im not doing anything. I know i have to get at least a part time job becoz although i still have enough money to cover my living, it will get dry up eventually (i'd say in 5 months time). But now, i dont wanna work due to being scolded and having to deal with people in general.

Not to mention, i still havent figured out what i want in life, and i'm doing nothing meaningful atm. Its just about watching shows, playing games, eating, sleeping and repeat the same thing which i truly enjoy but feel like im a loser and that my future is bleak. I really wanna do something related to computer but i'm afraid that it will be a tough road to go through since i dont have a degree. Doing sports is the easiest route but i'm not interested in it anymore.

Even when i said that i was interested in computer, i just feel like there's not enough motivation for me to self learn. I could read a page about cyber security and then go back to watching a movie and then play games for the rest of my day. Ah man, sometimes i just feel like closing my eyes and night and never wake up again. I just want a painless ending.

Hi Dean, you don't have to have everything figured out now. It will work out, lots of people change jobs, career and aren't sure about what they want to do and change their mind. If you like computers, then go for it, you've nothing to lose! Do whatever makes you happy and don't stress about anything else. You've your whole life in front of you! Go and speak to your doctor and a counsellor, it might help. And get out as much as you can, walking etc. You will be ok, things will get better x

Everyone has a purpose in life ❤. Youll have a purpose to your family. Your just in a low point of your day

Its not a bad life its a bad day remember that.

I am also hate my job. Anxiety ruins my whole life. I have panic attacks on the job .
