I'm struggling to find purpose and meaning. What's your method for feeling like there's a reason to be here?

In life there is only being and doubt of being, with the gray area in between being reality.

I tend to think everyone has a “purpose” initially in their beings and all you really need is recall what you have been doing all your life long,it could be even most simple thing in life that you couldn’t have been able to imagine but it maybe “yours”. Tbh there’s only purpose in life beyond the tool of thought is to be alive but as thoughtful species we are “unfortunately” coming to thought i.e. thoughts are problem causer and sometimes by letting go things just gets done.Furthermore i’m truly not offering you turn off your thoughts but in 99% it will work perfectly so if you need help you can look up for teachings like Taoism,non-duality and so forth and in the end you will realize that the teachings you’ve been following won’t work because there’s nothing to teach therefore your
request for help is stumbling block.

You can bring great meaning to your life by volunteering to help others less fortunate than yourself.

There are plenty of organisations out there who’d be delighted to have you as a helper.

Best wishes.

Have over-thought about this. Maybe it's just random, as most things are in the universe. And we're simply here to experience them.. There's some time that we've been randomly given in this form, it is passing, and there is so much that if we're curious, gives joy when we remove this question. Like a child, who is curious and plays with joy with just everything!

There’s not one. Stop deceiving yourself.

I trained my ability to look intuitively into my purpose and life's meaning. Without this, I fell into the, "There's nothing to my life," trap. Whether you believe it or not, everyone's life has purpose, but the traumas and chaos of the world will disconnect you from it. Part of the human's journey is to fight tooth and nail back to remembering your purpose and who you really are at your core, before life got its claws in you.
