Of course you do @Past User! Your purpose can be anything you want it to be. Some people want to make a change to the world by volunteering, working as doctors or vets, starting organisations to help improve the planet. Some people want to be professional sports players, or even esports players and be better than everyone else. Some people want to be alone, chill with friends and watch every movie ever created. Theres so many examples. Some people may even have more than one purpose.
Everyone has a different purpose and that purpose only depends on you. Many people don't know what their purpose is but I know they'll find it someday. I feel like the more you look for a "purpose" the more you may feel like there is none, it will come to you one day I believe it.

And you definitely have a purpose here! I know that without you it would definitely feel a lot lonelier.
Also if you don't mind explaining, what makes you ask these questions?

I feel like I said the word purpose way too many times haha.
Take care of yourself!

im non of those and I dont think I ever will be because im not like other people, in fact im the odd one out on the whole planet which sucks

Thats not true. I feel exactly the same so you're not alone here. (I guess that doesn't make us the odd ones out anymore then )

I've just always wondered because you see people fitting into different categories and it's like im not even in one or any, I tried too do 4 quizzes and they were on purpose and at the end of the test when your ment to get results it just said "couldn't find results" I know that sounds stupid but I think its broke me and now I'm crying so ill shut up sorry

Please don't worry about it, there is a ton of things that dont work especially on the internet and as tempting a it may be I dont think getting advice from quizzes like these is very helpful, they don't work as they have no way of understanding you personally. I don't know exactly what quizzes they are so I hope I understood correctly.

You don't sound stupid at all, nothing is stupid here so don't worry about it. Remember you can always say what's on your mind and we will be here to listen. Sending hugs!

Hey @Past User

Thank you for posting and letting us know how you've been doing. I'm really sorry you've been feeling alienated and out of place. I want to remind you that there's never a definite place you have to be in in life and it's okay to just be. And as @JJLemon18 said, you can be whatever you want to be in life, however I also believe that thinking of your own life as something that needs to fill a purpose might be a little overwhelming.

As for your purpose on here, we're all glad that you're here and we're always happy to support you in any way we can. You are also very active on the boards and I'm sure that you've helped countless peers by answering their posts and giving out advice

Sending lots of hugs morgan.

I believe anyones purpose is do what makes them happiest in life and what feels right for them. You dont owe anyone anything, apart from yiurself you owe it yourself to be kind to your mind. But i know that is no easy thing.
And im sorry this probably isnt the answer you want. But morgan you are enough and we care so much about you.

You dont have to fit yourself into a box. And no one really fits into one box , we are all many different things all at once. We share similarities with so many different people and we also have our fair share of differences. But i know being different feels very lonely. But you are and amazing and deserve kindness. We are all here for you morgan.

Morning @Past User Just checking in on you this morning?
Sorry to hear that you are feeling out of place and are struggling. Just really echoing everyone else on here but we are all so grateful to have you here on the community.You are always so helpful and supportive of everyone here and im sure you have helped people a lot. Agreeing with the others i know how feeling different can feel isolating but you are such a great human being and difference is what can make the world that extra special. You dont have to fit into a one box fits all as that would b boring and you bring so much light and amazing things just being yourself

Sending you lots of love and hugs and we are always here for you

Hi Morgan. That is horrible, I think putting people into categories like this is really unfair. People should be who they want to be and not have stereotypical "labels" assigned to them. I personally would prefer not to be part of any category but I see why that may be upsetting to you and make you feel left out. I wouldn't think about it too much if I were you, just focus on yourself and who you really are, not what people tell you you are.
Take care! Sending lots of hugs!
