> "Would you like to schedule a get-together again for a conversation date?"

Sounds pretty good - try it! The person you were talking to may feel exactly the same way.

And interesting hobbies? Definitely yes. Try getting into playing an instrument for example. If you like it, it will keep you busy the rest of your life if you want.

> But deeper, what am I working towards? For whom?

If I get to feeling like this, I like to think about my 2 cats. I love having them, they obviously love being around me, because they are within sight most of the time. But what is their purpose for existence? Do we all need a purpose for existence, or is the fact that we do exist good enough? Speaking of pets, that's another great thing to try out. Having something else living with you takes you out of your head.

We are human beings, not human doings. If you feel like doing something, great. If not, just ... be.
