I'm a shitty person

I'm unmotivated, rude and selfish. I'm 19 and can't do something as simple as doing the dishes for my mum when she's busy working night shifts. I struggle to get up and do anything good in my life or help others around me when they're struggling. I don't think I have any worth as a person or life. Maybe this is self-pity, I don't know. I'm just over being me and hurting those around me. I want to change but I'm just so unmotivated for everything.

My 15 year old sat me down a few weeks ago and had a very similar chat with me about how he felt like crap for not having the motivation to help at all.

You're at an age where you haven't found a purpose yet. You want adventure and new experiences but recognize the on set of adulthood. You aren't on a bad path. It's more a path of awakening to a bigger world realization.

Once you find a purpose and feel the importance of actually getting things accomplished you'll forget these thoughts over night.

You should be proud you recognize your lack of motivation and take the guilt of not helping as a sign of actually maturing. Everything good takes time. You'll learn to embrace the need to do things to help and that in turn with fulfill purpose.
