"What is your view?"

My main goal in life is too understand myself and my potential fully. Understanding as much knowledge as I can as well as testing myself regularly to understand where my thresholds are and push them farther. All this is important because I want true peace, knowing I gave my absolute all into reaching my destinations as well as provide a better life for myself. I never act with any uncertainty to avoid potential regret. I can't tell you how many times I hear older people saying "well, if I had done _ or applied myself to __ i'd be successful" Regret is certainly one of my biggest fears. My goal in life is to chase my dreams and aspirations to the fullest. No excuses.

I'm not sure I understand your conflict. Why must there be one choice to bring meaning into your life? 
Life meaning to me doesn't need to be one specific purpose. Do what brings you enjoyment, and try to include some part of the rest of humanity in the equation. If you have drive enough to do something big for the world then you won't be sitting around contemplating whether it's even worth it in the first place. It's not sincere if you're trying to measure the pay out. Likewise- why do you feel that just because you don't have the drive to contribute something big to the rest of humanity, your only option is to live life only for yourself?

TBH I don't understand seeking out the "meaning of life". I seek out as much honesty within myself, and do my best to open up to as many ways of viewing the rest of the world as I can. It's not always easy to do, but I try. I also try to keep a balance when trying to expand my mind, taking car not to end up in old argument loops with myself. Why make yourself more crazy than you are already?

When it comes down to the bare bones of it all I've come to realize that you always have options. By yourself, you may not have as many options as you would like unless you happen to have financial freedom, and even then you can't buy everything. You can't buy people's true feelings to be what you want them to be, instead of what they are. So expanding your options by getting involved in the rest of humanity can provide options you didn't even dream were possible. You have to give a shit though. If you don't really give a shit about anyone other than yourself, Legga... then clearly you have made the right choice to live life only for yourself, and ultimately, that was the direction you were headed in before you ever began this argument with yourself. 

As for me, I am learning to keep expanding my options through humanity and for myself. I'm learning to really give a shit about other people, and if I can help them in some small way I will. I'm learning to be more driven than in previous years to accomplish goals I've always had, but didn't really bother to make a solid effort to put them into practice. By putting myself out there to capacity, others may benefit from my accomplishments without even having to make that one of my goals. Maybe not in some huge way, but I'm not one to play superhero or superhuman for that matter. Because if nothing else, what matters most to me is if I enjoyed being alive. You don't have to be a selfish person for that to be your purpose of choice in the end.

For me, the meaning of life is to live. I have some goals of what I want to do and who I want to be, but I don't relate that to "the meaning of life". You make your own meaning.

Maybe to look for the meaning of life by experiencing it fully.

Most people accept that we are animals and there is no "objective purpose" to life. "Find your own meaning in life" is a common mantra. I don't really feel the need to do that, maybe it's just a part of my constitution. I don't need life to be "about something," because I'm not bothered by a life bereft of meaning. I do what I feel like doing, and for me that's fine enough.

I like that

That's one purpose.

"I was struggling with questions such as "is humanity really that important?" "what kind of difference would it make even if I created something nice?""

I live for the moments that come up between all the dredge and boredom. Dying's harder than it sounds, but with life at least it's possible to laugh at anything, even extreme tragedy. There is a humor in most things, and I live for those silver linings. It's not a "Meaning of Life", but it's my motivation for it. Learning new things and gaining further knowledge tends to give me more subtext to laugh at down the line, so knowledge lends to finding humor in anything.

Beyond humor, "The Unexpected" tends to be distracting in ways I can enjoy.
