What do u do when u don't feel anything?

I feel like I have no purpose, even though I have a life plan and I'm going on it as I have it on paper, but I feel discouraged and not my usual self.
Also I've been a lot more social these past few days. I was always kind of a loner. Could that have an impact? Idk I feel somewhat unwell.

I've been feeling very similarly lately, but for me it's more like I used to be a lot more social and now I'm not. What I've been trying to do is focus on the things that make me feel good about myself. I havent truly felt happy in years, so my purpose right now is finding out some way to be happy. I'm just trying to take it one step at a time.

And yeah, a sudden lifestyle change like being more social when you normally havent been does seem like it might impact you in a way. Maybe you dont feel like yourself because you're still adjusting to this new way of living. I suppose it would also depend on who youre socializing with and what kinds of people they are..

But, at any rate, I really hope you start feeling better soon. That numbness and loss of purpose can be so consuming sometimes, I know. Hang in there

@KidAzazel Thank you and to expand on that, I work in a very social place where everyone is chatty, even the weird ones. And I've been trying to keep up, or pretend, using whatever I've been reading in those self development books along the years. However these past few days I noticed that I have been way louder than I normally am and people talking to me more, even those that I try to stay away from, because they are "too important or too cool". Maybe it's just fatigueness, or maybe I'm just trying to not be lonely, but I still am..and disappointed in myself.

Things have a way of working themselves out. We just have to allow things to flow through us. It can get uncomfortable and confusing, this is normal. Just don't try to force things just allow what ever happens to happen.

@Dan193 I think that is an excellent idea. When God wants us to move in him he makes us uncomfortable and often isolates us. I don't go to church myself but, I spend a lot of time in nature. Sit quiet and listen.

@Dan193 You could just look for an online one too..Actually I think some groups on here are kinda support groups.

@passingby8 I don't usually think of SW as a support group, however I do feel much better right now. Maybe I just needed to talk about my feelings to somebody, as I couldn't open up to anyone in my real life.
@curiosi I like laying in the backyard tanning, however it's mostly cloudy here, but when we get some sun and I'm home alone, it's a beautiful day. Kind of makes me feel more confident too.
