There is no singular “purpose of life”, different people are built differently and experience the world in their own way.

Some are lucky enough to get meaning from the default path of those around them, some have trouble finding a way that works for them.

Every person should consider what their own purpose is (and why, and what “purpose” even means for them) or they will be held in thrall to the social forces around them. If they don’t fundamentally align with those forces, they will have a bad time, and they may blame themselves rather than recognizing that they should seek a different path.
