You should seriously consider the possibility that you are depressed. Depression isn’t necessary sadness. It can be a feeling of pointlessness and hopelessness. A good friend once told me that he didn’t mind living, but if he were to suddenly get hit by a bus and killed, he wouldn’t mind that either. This friend refused to get antidepressants for years despite my advice because he said he wasn’t sad or suicidal, but when he finally did try medication he felt much better and he says it was one of the best choices he ever made.
Antidepressants are cheap, easy to get prescribed, and generally have few side effects. I think they’re worth trying. Maybe they’ll do nothing for you but there’s a real possibility that they’ll change your life.

Nah dude, he’s just a nihilist
Maybe, but in that case he can stop taking antidepressants and be no worse off than he was before he started.
Okay, entirely different interpretation than mine. I read it as content with what they have, not indifferent but you may be right.
That about being tired and just wanting to rest together with his basic life kinda gives it away. He’s weary, not content.
Well, I wouldn’t be concerned about someone saying they want to rest once they’ve lived 80 years. Wanting to rest right now would be more alarming.
Yeah, good point.
