In my unpopular opinion, almost every person yearns for a sense of identity and purpose. Veritasium sums up these yearnings of the soul nicely in his "Our Greatest Delusion" video. However, I disagree with his conclusion. I don't think these yearnings are a delusion nor do I think embracing nihilism or hedonism or drugs or other distractions is the solution. I think ultimately these yearnings are there because God is real and purpose and identity can be discovered by getting closer to the being that created us. So, my advice would be to explore religion and see if it starts having a positive effect on your sense of purpose in life. Even if you pick a "wrong" religion, I think God can still work with that and help you understand your purpose vs. no religion. IMO, just like software, religious/spiritual belief is an incremental process.
