Is it normal to lose interest in everything as you age

I am 35 years old. I feel like there is nothing in this world that is worth living for. Everything bores me to death. I don't have interest in movies, music, religion, etc. I don't know what to do anymore or what to live for anymore.

    The only thing I'm still interested in is sex but I don't get much of it so I'm fed up with my life too.

    I've definitely lost interest in things I cared more about at a younger age, but I agree with someone above that your case sounds more like depression. There are always things to be excited about...to get yourself excited about, but depression can make even the most ”important” things in life seem trivial and mundane.

    Have u ever considered seeing a psychologist? Maybe that....or a trip somewhere alone to reconnect with yourself is a good place to start.

    Sounds like (low level, at least) depression to me.

    Do you get any pleasure from friends or family relationships? Do others know how you are feeling?

    Would you consider telling a doctor or other health professional about this?

    A load of questions I know, but I have had phases like this as well, and there is always a light at the end of that tunnel, believe me.

    Depression. I have felt this way before during periodic bouts with depression. See a therapist, not a psychiatrist, that is if you decide to seek medical help.

    Oh, PLEASE.
    Do you have your health? Enough food to survive, a bed to sleep in under shelter, clothes to wear and a computer to cry on IIN? Then you are so much better off than 85% of the humans on earth. Oh poor you! Poor spoiled you.
    Get off your ass and do something, anything. Volunteer at a local people shelter, animal shelter, church or ANYTHING. Stop moaning and groaning; do something.
    If that's too much trouble, sign up to be an organ donor and go on the internet and find away to off yourself without damaging your organs. Then at least some folks who want to live can (using your unwanted organs) and we'll all be rid of a crybaby like you.

    I'm 17 years younger than you and I feel the exact same way. I don't think that it's entirely age related, although that may be a factor, but more environmental.

    I think it is. The older you get, the less grand things seem. Sometimes I don't know if I'm depressed or just growing up.
