What do you want to do in life?

I’ve never found a job I’ve liked and I’ve had several. When I complain or express how I feel people ask me what do you want to do.

Truth is, I don’t know. What was I put on this planet for??

Anyways, I didn’t want to bring more negative energy to my friends or family so I’m here looking for support.

Feeling depressed and also embarrassed that I don’t have a passion.

Has anyone felt this way? What do I do?

Maybe you should break it down. What can you find about your current job that you do like to do? Use that information to help discover a job that would interest you. You know that the people that tend to be the most satisfied with work are people who are doing so called "dirty jobs" that no one wants to do. You really don't need the job to define you. There is nothing wrong with finding something tolerable that pays the bills. There are other things that can give you purpose.
