Perhaps you have disassociation disorder, detaching from others and that is part of your problem? I definetly would get a diagnosis because i think there is more than just depression going on here. I hear you saying there is no God. Yet others here would believe different, they have faith in a spiritual being that helps them live life. I want to be open minded so i will say please go to a therapist and work on these issues. And i wish you the best. A man cannot have friends unless he first makes himself friendly. And if you give zero cares to the daily lives of others than that is the resistance to your progress of moving forward. tc

Well....yeah.
It's obvious you're intelligent Chris, or, at the very least, a connoisseur of Woody Allen films (Annie Hall comes to mind; "He won't do his homework!" "The universe is expanding; what's the point?" "Brooklyn is not
expanding. Do your homework!")
If all this (I.e. " existence") is just a random bit of neuron business, where does "love" come in? You admit to wanting love. But your description of life itself predilects a total randomness to everything, devoid of meaning. Where do you expect to pick up "love" in a world such as you describe? In fact, how would the concept even occur to you if we're all just clumps of dust, not sentient beings?
Maybe there is no God. Maybe there is no "soul". But the very fact that you are aware of and desire "love" shoots gaping holes in your own perception of what all there is to existence.
Ergo,
something more than neuron placement and cleverly arranged "dust" must be at play (EXIST) on this earthly plane.
Maybe you're going too deep, man. Wade back out to knee-deep with the rest of us and splash around, play chicken, do some handstands in the water.
You stay at your level, you're liable to drown.
