I know all the tips to find motivation, but I just don't see the point. Life just seems like an infinity of work with no payoff
I picture myself being active and organized and all that, but when I look back to the present I just slump back into depression and hatred at who I am and the way I'm heading. I don't feel comfortable talking to anyone in person, even my friends over the phone or my own parents. At my job, where I'm around people without directly interacting, I feel disconnected and robotic, like I'm on a different plane than everyone else.
Any ideas?
Suggestion:
If you come from a "low nurturance" (dysfunctional) family, you're probable a "Grown Wounded Child" (GWC). If so, you may have a psychological wound who's symptoms are difficulty feeling and bonding with others. A companion wound is excessive shame, which can cause "self hatred." A related condition is incomplete grief of major broken bonds in your life. Grief feels very similar to depression.
The good news is – once you're aware of conditions like these you can proactive reduce each of them – usually with some informed help. That and continued life experience will reveal your life passion and purpose. See these for more info:

I often had this problem through high school and college myself. One thing that seemed to help is to get away from everything ever once in a while either like a vacation or if you dont have money for that you can always take a few days off and do whatever you want and enjoy. I think this depression happens because this time in your life is very stressful and alot of things change at once as well. Take some time out take care of yourself. Sometimes just talking with yourself can help you out if you feel as if your parents or friends dont get it. I would also suggest get a better job that you enjoy and dont mind doing rather than dreading going to work. good luck and I hope you find your way!
No sense of identity? Go out with a older man, about 20 years older than you are. He will help you, and be more accepting of who you are, and not take advantage of you. Good luck
