Any other b/ros having an identity crisis?

Is this an existential thread within the normal scope (friends, career, children) or within a dissociated philosophical scope?

why bother? that's why im so defeated. i won't become the rockstar i wanted to be, or the author i wanted to be. so i'll find something i like and make a living out of it.

i am very dissociated. i have no attachments to my family and an attachment to one friend.
it's been suggested i have autism.

but lie ontologically speaking... i'm pretty nihilistic.

how old are you? here is an explanation that introduces a film about a man who goes through his mid-life crisis. it is real. my theory is that it's because the human race only lived to about 35 for hundreds of thousands of years so there is no pre-recorded instinct for how to feel, what to be urged to do, etc once you reach a certain age and then... you're like this:

"My name is Lester Burnham. This is my neighborhood. This is my street. This is my life. I am 42 years old. In less than a year, I will be dead. Of course, I don't know that yet, and in a way, I'm dead already. Look at me, jerking off in the shower. This will be the highlight of my day. It's all downhill from here. That's my wife Carolyn. See the way the handle on those pruning shears match her gardening clogs? That's not an accident. That's our neighbor, Jim, and that's his lover, Jim. Man, I get exhausted just watching her. She wasn't always like this. She used to be happy. We used to be happy. My daughter, Jane. Only child. Janie's a pretty typical teenager–angry, insecure, confused. I wish I could tell her that's all going to pass, but I don't want to lie to her. Both my wife and daughter think I'm this gigantic loser. And they're right. I have lost something. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I know I didn't always feel this ... sedated. But you know what? It's never too late to get it back."

Maybe stop giving meaning to things. Most activities are meaningless. If one is nihilistic, the only goal is short-term happiness or satiscaction, because most people never lose their pleasure-seeking behavior. The most important is to throw away the drive to achieve and overcome as well as learned optimism. Normal people constantly stimulate each other into being survivors. Even a dumb t-shirt with a label "never give up" serves a function of reminding each other to remain hopeful. I stopped doing everything I don't like but have to do (to a possible extent). Forcing myself into doing something I have to, will only make my time from birth do death harder. I don't want to make myself suffer only because of the cult of surving and overcoming and getting through. People praise human's hope ("hope dies last") as something good, but it's just a sad part of being a mind stuck in a sack of flesh. It forces people to remain active and still trying to achieve when you know you have little chances. When all realistic possibilities are gone, hope kicks in. It is really sad.

You don't have to do anything. Take comfort in simply being. You are alive. That is your purpose. To be alive. Simply be. Enjoy a comfort. Explore. Challenge yourself. Do whatever. Anything. Nothing.

The meaning of life is to be alive. Everything else is personal preference.

"I stopped doing everything I don't like but have to do (to a possible extent)"

elaborate? this is kinda my goal. to not have to do shit i don't like doing.
how'd u achieve this?
