is there anything to look forward to in life?

its hard to find a porpuse, life is just too hard, studying, getting a job and being happy it all feels like a massive chore

people around me seem to easily get around this idea or simply dont think about it too much while i simply rot inside my room and disappoint my family while eating their food which they worked hard for

i wish i could help but i cant find any motivation to do anything at all i dont wish to suicide i only wish to stop existing

Did your parents do what they could to nurture, encourage, teach and guide you throughout upbringing? Did father show you how to paint, how to change a lightbulb, how to drill a hole into drywall, how to repair things and maintain things? Did mother teach you how to process your feelings, how to be good to yourself and to others? How to forgive and ask for forgiveness? How to protect your own boundaries and respect those of others?
Or did life get in the way and they were overwhelmed by life's problems and they couldn't do this for you?

I am not suggesting you blame your family but OP the biggest core of knowing how to function and how to feel is always handed down to us by parents, either from their verbal teachings or at least their example and their invitations to do the same as they do with encouragement to show you how. This is something that's supposed to be done from age 2-3+ and up, all the way up until adulthood.

If you lacked in this area, it could very well explain to you that it's not something to blame yourself for, or others, simply understanding the shape of a void so you can get one step closer at knowing what to develop in yourself slowly, or with the help of others, or resources online or in person.

You do not have to go out or even do anything to be someone. You can contribute imagination that results in results.

Parents are not the only source, one can learn elsewhere then wraparound and teach their parents better, but it starts with an obvious goodwill coming from the parents, even if the parents were not perfect in their attempts, just the fact that they attempted and tried their best is something that instills a sense of agency/gratitude in the kid, where they find that their life matters because it mattered to their parents
