One of the things that society always tries to sell us is that we have to find our dream job, but gradually I have realized that I don't really have a passion for anything specific.

I would be unable to take my own life, but at the same time, I do feel a bit disconnected from everything.

Many people also say that the solution is to go to a psychologist, and I personally have seen five psychologists and several psychiatrists and have not obtained any results. This is not a criticism of psychology or psychiatry, it is simply a demonstration that not everything in life has a solution.
