First I want to say I'm not depressed nor loathing, thank God almighty.

Y'all know I'm in my early 20s.
I have recently started to distance myself from friends. All my brehs want to do is get high, drink or talk about fast girls.
I can still chill with them and joke without smoking or drinking myself.

Thats getting old, I love my friends but I feel this is some second childhood area.
They're happy and satisfied where they at.
I want more, I don't mean wealth nor fame. I feel like I'm just here doing the same ol.

I need to find my purpose, I thought I knew what it was. I have tried different things. I had fun but I don't feel compelled to continue them.

I just need a natural high of a purpose/passion I guess.

Do I continue to try new things or what?

What type of work/field of study are you in? You need to find some people that want to do the same stuff you want to do.

I'm having the same problems with my friends. I wanted to travel and my friends are always on bullshyt. I found a chick on twitter and she has friends that like to travel. So far I've been to Toronto, Coney Island, different eateries and attractions like go karting and shyt...I'm also going to Vegas in December and then more places next year. You just gotta make more friends, breh.

I think you’re looking for a knowledge of self. And that’s a good thing to try and figure out. How you can get that, is different for everybody, and it won’t be easy.

I learned knowledge of self after almost dying, living in the worst situation ever, getting super, super sad and depressed, and constantly thinking of suicide.

But, I learned knowledge of self and a new existential perspective because of it. While those terrible 5-7 years were absolutely living hell, the gift I got at the end was 100% worth it. I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I mention that to say you may need to experience some horrible things before you get the answers you want. Just try to remember that pain and suffering can bring about many important life lessons :ehh:

he who exalts himself will be humbled, he who is humble will be exalted.

cut that dangerous thinking dont make excuses for laziness and to be mad at another is to be mad at a stone, for what. claim you love them pause then never look down on anyone unless it is while helping them up.

i used to laugh at mid twenties forum heads, now look at me. its you who is the problem, tried building or you think your friends have x-ray vision and can see how you feel ? lol, you are going to be a stray fast.

end up on pof with no one else in the pictures, red flag to chicks.

Did the same bro. The distancing wasn't intentional, it was just my mindset and their mindset diverging. People like to be around like minds, so its bound to happen.

It sounds simple and to some it will sound silly, but progression takes progress and progress can take many different forms.

Ill just say this, if you have a plan and a course of action, you can make it happen.

Go to a school away from home and make a life there

You go and take on new things. Take risk, and experience different industries you’ve never tried before. It’s okay, to distance yourself from your old friends, some people aren’t on the same wavelength as you. You need to focus on you and associate with people who have the same mindset.

It’s alright if you can’t find your purpose yet. Most of the time people think they know their purpose, but they really don’t. Just focus on the things you like, & your good at and see how you can translate that into money.

There’s no rush.

But to answer OPs question, continue trying new things because you’re on a search to find out who you are. Don’t delay the process by being afraid. Best advice my dad ever gave me was “you don’t want to be some 40/50 yr old muthafukka saying ‘I could’ve been…”.

Good for you trying to find your purpose. I didn't find mine until my 30s but some people never find it. My best advice would be to do all the things you always wanted to do. All the stuff that people said were impossible, you're too small, too young/old etc.... Eventually you'll find where you need to be. Good luck.
