No.

I don't think something is wrong with you, I think something just has you feeling complacent/ not uncomfortable enough to change your situation.  If you really feel unmotivated and lazy then examine why you feel that way and map out a few ways you can break out of the mold.  Start out with small things to do so that you don't overwhelm yourself. Too many people SAY what they want to do without actually working toward it because they feel like they have to do something big to make change and that's not true. Change is gradual, and a few months/year from now you will see the results of those changes and be motivated to do more. Hope this helps.

There is nothing wrong with you. Sometimes the small changes will make the biggest impact. If you can figure out, why you are feeling this way, then may be you can start at that point. As for being happy, it is just a state of mind. Smile, and your day will become beautiful. Hope this helps :).

There is nothing wrong with you, I think everyone goes through this at various times in life.  You just need to think about what you want out of life.  Start small and don't just do what you think you SHOULD do based on what other people are doing or what they might think of you. Do what you truly want to do.  And take time to think about it, even if it means doing nothing for a while.  "this too shall pass".   ;)

Yeah, hard to tell online because the description is sort of vague. You could be just going through a stage where you're not feeling motivated about stuff, and in that case the best thing to do is fake it until you get out of the funk.  If it's a physical problem it could be anything from lack of proper vitamins/nutrients, exercise, or even lack of sleep.

What you're feeling right now has been my everyday since I was 13. Don't want to go into details about what happened but it's been a long road and now at 25 I'm finally feeling motivated. There's nothing wrong with you. We all go through phases in life, just keep your head up.

You know, when I reached the age of 40 I felt like I was just burned out, my life was so hectic, busy and I really wasn't even enjoying myself or getting to do anything for myself.  Fortunately I was in a position to be able to quit working, able to do things that I enjoyed, slowed down lifestyle and quit feeling like I had to do everything.  I didn't realize until quit working how physically and mentally tired I was, took me over a year to recoup.  I am enjoying life, and have learned to say NO and not put extra pressure upon myself.

So how has things been going with you lately? Have you found the motivation you were seeking and if so, how? I'm a highly motivated person but I know better than anyone it's easy to just get comfortable and not work toward your potential.  I think the best way to break out of the mold is by getting supportive friends, creating a goal pathline, and jumping into action whether you feel like it or not, no matter how small the step.

I gave up and let myself get taken advantage of thinking that I would be happy and I was and still am miserable. I am finally on my way, I hope, to a better future very soon with hopes of a new job and just spending time with my friends and making new friends and starting new relationships
