Im utterly bored
I'm bored. I haven't felt excited about anything in a long, long time. I have a job, a social life, I attend University full time, I've had relationships, I go to the gym, I take part in "fun" activities with friends, etc... but I don't feel happy, or sad, or excited - I don't feel anything about any of it.
I don't even remember the last time I felt excited, or interested in something and that saddens me a great deal. I have trouble enjoying life's every day pleasures and I don't want to continue living my life this way - I want to be less jaded, more enthusiastic about things, I want to feel the feels again, y'know?
Anyone else feel this way? How do you pull yourself out of this?

[quote=BigHero6]It sounds like you need to get high. [/quote]
ignore my other post.
This is what you need to do.
I didn't read the above comments and I don't want to assume that you have any disease
OT: My advice? Travel. Save up enough money to travel different countries (even other states) You have no idea how different other countries/states are until you go visit. Proof: I live in NJ and my trip to Texas changed the way I look at things. If you want/could, I recommend traveling with someone who comes the closest to make you feel happy.
Also, if you can't/don't want to, do something different everyday. Don't make a routine for yourself. Life is much more interesting when you don't do the same thing over and over again.
Meds do wonders. Seriously though, you more or less described the symptoms of depression. Maybe talk to a doctor or health adviser at school and look into treatment options.

Oh, gosh...
You might have Asperger's Syndrome.
@mrromance: brotha I had the same perspective towards individuals who were always "depressed" and gloomy but that stuff is not a joke once you experience it. ignorance is truely bliss when it comes down to this
@Capricious:
Well, if yur not tired, maybe you already accomplished yur goals, and are maintaining them...
but you don't have something to expect."look-forward-to" "hope for"
sumthing sumthing, yur not expecting anything yur just working and thats all.
maybe u are tired but aren't acknowledging..
maybe yur expectations are too high, so everything seems bland...
but wutever, its not like i know you as much as you know you.
@TheZigen
ayyyy dats what i did too!
It got to the point that i wanted to die (i did have depression) but when that didnt work i decided nothig really mattered and oddly that made me feel better? I think its sort of this feeling that i could abandon all responsibilities and consideration for other people and it wouldnt make a difference. It's probably a bad way of thinking but it gave me a sense of relief/freedom so whatevs
@Neospod: Oh god, do u guys think "I don't want to continue on like this anymore." meant I wanna off myself? I MEANT I DON'T WANNA CONTINUE LIVING LIFE THIS WAY. >.<
@Anthorix: I don't feel tired, though.
@MrRomance: I'm no expert, nor am I one to self-diagnose, but I'm positive I'm not depressed either.
maybe you can't feel happy, sad, or excited because yur extremely tired...
