I'm 19 and I have no aspirations, no goals, no desires, nothing. What happens now?

After high school I went to a community college for a year... I made some amazing friends and did some interesting things, but now I'm out of money and it's time to face reality. My parents have been kind enough to let me stay with them for a while (my roommates got us evicted) and I've just started working again, but that's basically it. I have a few close friends left, but they have lives now, relationships to tend to, careers to plan. I haven't really been in a serious relationship, in, well, ever. In short, I spend most of my time alone. I show up to work when I'm told, and then proceed to tire myself out, just so I can rest. I feel like I've been left behind; the one guy you feel sorry for when you go to your high school reunion. At least, that's where it seems like I'm headed. Most people regard my confusion with apathy; I'm 19 and too young to be worried about such things. However, times are changing. In an increasingly complex world, convoluted with 'new' ideas and 'progressive' ethics, I feel like an outsider, trying desperately to cling to the simple, common-sense values my parents have taught me. Anyway... thoughts?
