Strangely enough, once I started giving drawing classes to kids last year as a volunteer, I no longer felt like my life had been pointless. It felt like I finally did something that would mean something. I was invited to give 1 or 2 classes only, as a test to see if I'd like it. Turns out I did like it way more than I could've imagined, as a I never fancied myself as a teacher. Apparently, the kids loved it, too. Not needing to fill out forms, reports and whatever bureaucracy teachers have to deal with also helps me look forward to this year's classes.

So, my take is that you should definitely try something different in your life, preferably something that puts you in face-to-face contact with other people
