Do you feel like you're stuck on autopilot?

I'm just trying to get a general consensus on how many people feel the same way as me about this... It seems like the older I get, the more I realize how disconnected I am from other people as well as how disconnected they are from each other. I have...

several good long time friends as well as new one's. But I feel that people are ultimately self-serving. I often find myself lost enough in my own world that I have an easy time ignoring other people's problems. I am definitely a people-pleaser, as much as I try not to be. But I think that even when we are trying to please others we are only doing so in an attempt to fulfill our own needs. I live with 5 other people right now in a house and spend a lot of time laughing and having fun with my friends, but more and more I feel like we are only a sort of staple in each others lives. Like we encourage the status quo by keeping each other laughing despite our seemingly cornered positions as people living below the poverty line. Several of us, including myself are college students and I find some comfort in the possibility of change down the road but have trouble realizing it. I feel like the daily routines are wearing down my soul. I often feel like I'm reading my daily life off a script, or like everyone is just saying what they think everyone else wants to hear and not what they mean, or like we are saying things just to hear ourselves talk. It's like people talk in circles to fulfill there own expectations, if that makes any sense... I used to travel a lot and always imagined myself traveling the world and seeking excitement throughout my youth and into adulthood, but here I am at 24, I haven't left MN in two years and I'm feeling lost and unfulfilled. Everyone I live with is either an artist, a musician, or both and is really creative but I feel like we have so much unactualized potential. It's as though we're in the dark ages desperately awaiting our renaissance. Again, I'm just looking for comments or people who have similar feelings.

I feel like I'm on autopilot ALL the time...but recently I have been trying to do little random things for myself that make the days feel a little different and better...like taking a nice bubble bath...or even lighting a good smelling candle... anything can help
