Ever get that feeling you might be stuck...and realize it is your own fault?
Depending on what your views on life are, plenty of people have the same thoughts.
As for me, I find life to not have any purpose. It's just a mere biophysical process and that's that, so I have none of the usual worries about death, purpose or stuff like that. Blame my usual indifference.
I find most people do have those concerns, though.
I've observed that a certain balance must be kept in order to not feel like this.
1) The imposed structure of life in a particular social setting must be more or less respected, that is, getting a degree, a job and money to live is necessary for feelings accomplishment both personal and expectatory.
2) Finding and ding the things that make you enjoy life. Little or big, simple or intricated. So you won't feel trapped under the weight of obligations which number 1 is so good at generating.
3) Partnership. Humans are mostly, and to different degrees, a social animal and need the company.
