I’ve never really had any sense of direction with my life. I think about the future quite often, but I don’t see myself in it. I never have. I don’t see myself doing any job or having children or getting married or living anywhere. I just don’t see it. I’m 23 and that’s still young, but most people have an idea of what they want to do with their life… I just don’t. I think I am destined to commit suicide. I feel like that’s my purpose in life. Does anyone else feel this way or think this could be my purpose ?

My answer would be maybe. I don’t know. It could be my destiny to die by suicide too. It could be ____’s destiny too, but they don’t know it yet.
Maybe because of free will, we can reject our destiny.
I sometimes think that too.
No one knows truly the pain.
I don’t think there’s a thing as destiny.
And i don’t really think anyone’s purpose can be suicide. It just doesn’t sound right, at least in my opinion.
Even if you’re not sure what to do in your life yet, doesn’t mean you’re doomed.
You can get creative and aim for whatever it is that YOU want, not the usual image of what others always have in mind (kids, jobs, stuff like that), and at your own pace.
Destiny, defined strictly, would invalidate free will, so not I don’t believe in destiny. Even if god has a plan for us lets say, indirectly, I believe we have full use of free will to change or choose a path of our own, and god gives us that right to choose.
However, I do believe there is such a thing as inevitability, a pre-disposition or extreme likelihood to be set on a path which would be quite hard or painful to alter. Some examples may be abuse, financial issues (severe), deformities, depression or other things.
I can tell you this, I have a few of the above, and I know full well that I have no destiny I cannot change, although some people view changing their path almost insurmountable given the effort or adjusting to pain involved. For example, your deformed but you have to get a full time job in a place that will accept that deformity and health issues, with limited or no skills or financial backing. Then endure the ridicule in a job market that is predominantly service based, from both customers and employees alike.
I can tell you this, some paths are too painful to accept or change, even though you can, I think some people would rather just not exist at all than confront the nonstop pain. Not all situations are like this i’m just speaking from personal experience.
To summarize, at least some people feel that the path they will have to lead, well the pain will exceed non existing or the thought of non existence. The pain simply exceeds not existing.
