The existential dread feeling of thinking nothing you do could ever matter and you're not important and you will be forgotten

I mean, if you're afraid of being forgotten, just keep reminding people that you exist until they remember. And do you need to be important or matter? There's nothing and nobody important enough to withstand time. Just focus on the life you have, and making it a cool life to you, and let the rest go as it may.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I've had a similar thought-process not too long ago. Like, nothing I did seemed to matter. Nobody seemed to care what I did, and nobody would notice even if I did do something cool/awesome.
What helped more than anything was talking it over with a close friend. It took me a bit to garner the courage/energy to do so, as I figured doing so would do no good. That it would change nothing. I won't say I'm 100% out of that funk, but, I'm certainly better off than I was.

Personally, I'd recommend not to focus too much on the question of whether there's any "higher" point to life or not. In the end, it's not really relevant.
What actually matters is the fact that you exist, and that the world around you exists. Even if there's no objective meaning to life, our lives themselves are the most valuable things we have, as they're what we know, feel and perceive for certain.
So make it count! Instead of worrying about the unknowable, try to achieve as much happiness as possible in this existence that you do know you have. Simply by existing and doing your best to make your own life and the lives of the people around you happier in whatever way, you are doing the most amazing thing possible.

Everyone gets forgotten within a decade, don't sweat it too much. Once humanity goes extinct in a few hundred years, no one in the universe will ever know or care who X person was.
It's better to enjoy the fact that we're still breathing and have more or less enough food and water to last a few years. Enjoy the journey!

Welcome to the world I'm forced to live in when I don't have my support network. It aint a pleasant feeling or a fun place, so I suggest getting out of there ASAP.

Dread? I think you mean freedom.
Do what everyone else does to remove this worry:
Have kids

My problem is that I fear that I matter but for all the wrong reasons, like some guy on America's Most Wanted.
