I have no purpose, no friends, and no goals in life. As a result, I spend every day doing nothing and being worthless. It's been going on for so long, I feel empty inside. I know we should find our own meaning, but I just can't. I've tried, but nothing has ever worked. Should I just give up?

the moment you try to find meaning, you create space for meaningless. you will get disappointed when you don't find meaning. the quest for something feeds the feelings of nothing
there's a duality to it and you can be free by simply being free. you don't need to look for meaning because you are never going to get. desire always leads to more desire. you set a goal to get something and you get it? great, you got something. that feeling will pass. what will you do next?
you just need to be present in the moment. describing your situation as worthless and you do nothing in your days. worthless compared to what exactly? doing nothing compared to what? you're alive. worthlessness is just a concept that you don't need to measure yourself against
think about a leaf falling from a tree. do you think a leaf has any meaning? a leaf just does something without any attempt. it grows and grows then one day it falls in a majestic way. there's nothing to it yet there is. what about a frog sitting on a lily pad waiting for a fly to wander by? do you think it is sitting there pondering it's meaning or where it is heading? it just sits because it sits
you just do because you do. sometimes you just do things. just start somewhere

Real depression is when you feel so worthless, you don't see a point in any of that. If you've been depressed for so long, and nothing has made you happy, why would you think the "go full retard:, "travel the world" "hit the clubs" etc. memes actually work?

>worthless compared to what exactly? doing nothing compared to what?
Compared to what I could be. I just can't stop being lazy. I have zero motivation to change, and that's why I feel awful. I can't convince myself that there's no need for meaning, this is hardwired into my brain. If I sit there like a frog being present I'll keep feeling worthless.

That image makes no sense. Just like Buddhism.
