Why does life purpose cause me so much anxiety?

Your allergic to seafood? All seafood? That sucks, and I understand.

Nah not all; I’m allergic to mostly shellfish. Dating has definitely helped me get out of my shell, though

Maybe you have this issue backwards.

Read: 'So good they can't ignore you' by Cal Newport

Maybe this book shifts your mindset around the issue.

@koops I read that book.

It was a good book about refuting the common advice "follow you passion." Instead you are supposed to build up mastery and then your passion follows you. The goal is to get people out of searching for the right work and instead doing their work right. I have the sequel to that book.

What a shitty response 

Acctually, I think it's not that bad of a response. Death is a good thing to remember regularly when thinking about life. So it's good to integrate it in life purpose and then look for your values. Maybe it will help to decide what you really want to do, because life is shorter maybe? Or maybe the other end, life is infinite, don't worry, you will achieve it all at some birth, just relax and live. Both options are there.
