Most people who feel like they are supposed to do something is not because they feel obligated by society. It's because they are unhappy and the things you are supposed ti be doing seems to lead to happiness. Some time they are some time they aren't.
But go find a truly happy person and they won't be talking about what they are "supposed" to be doing. The problem is that when people are not happy the obvious though is changing something in life to find happiness in it.
Idk dude the happiest people I know all have purpose and an underlying sense of their place in life. It's not one that's necessarily given by society
Every person I've known that has lived to 90+ have remained active and working in some capacity. Once they're no longer able to do that, they die soon after.
Having a purpose is a good thing.
I don't know a lot of happy people, a lot of them uses fake masks to cover all the shit. Not my close family or friends at least...
