  1. Sure. Those who have already found it don't look for meaning. And those who haven't found it are forced to search, because otherwise they don't know what to do with themselves. Man is so constituted that he cannot do without an ultimate goal, which is the meaning (it is essentially the same thing): “…no one would undertake any task if he did not intend to reach some limit. And those who do so would have no intelligence, for those who are endowed with intelligence always act for the sake of something, and this something is the limit, for the ultimate goal is the limit” (Aristotle, Metaphysics 2:2). However, people are not always aware of their situation, so there may be some who have a goal, but claim the opposite, and vice versa.

  2. I don't think so. After all, the meaning of life determines the goals, tasks or role. And any person still sets goals to achieve the goal, even if it's just the need to go to the toilet or become a Hokage. If they didn't see the point, they would just stay idle until they died. Most often, it makes sense for people to play some role, for example, from what they work and love. Sometimes they lose the meaning of life (for example, when they lose their job or love), but at the same time they do not stop, do not die (sometimes only), they have new tasks and goals.

    In short, I think that the meaning is not one, there are many of them, and of course everyone is looking for them. But not everyone asks the question of some global meanings. Someone is happy to play the role of “5/2 to work and 2/5 to rest”, since they have found the meaning in this.

  3. I'm not looking. Even as a teenager I suffered a lot about this

    A person needs a goal, not a meaning, for full and healthy functioning.�

    People do not suffer from any kind of bullshit and feel good, without investing much sense in it.

    But the lack of the slightest goal, anticipation of the result, planning, etc. – this is already unhealthy bullshit and such a person can not be happy.
