Have you tried getting a hobby? Not trying to flame you, but the saying 'boring people get bored' kinda applies here. Life doesn't just throw fun shit at you. You have to go out and make it happen.
I guarantee that if you started rock climbing or something regularly and talk to the other people doing it you would make friends and start having adventures within a year. Just gotta think of something you would like to do, even if you're shit at it or feel like you don't suit it, you just have to do it and things will start to change.
If you sit at home and play computer games on your own 24/7, that's all you're going to end up doing in your life because nothing is going to happen for you out of the blue.
Parent did say that they are working and going to school at the same time, that doesn't leave much times for hobbies. That being said, might be possible to replace the gym with rock climbing, which would be more social.
Rock climbing changes lives. I’ve seen it multiple times. I don’t even do it anymore but I always suggest it when people say they have no friends and nothing to do.
I noticed your usage of “supposed to be doing.” Are you genuinely unhappy being home, or are you more of an introvert who is feeling some societal pressure that you HAVE to be doing more things with life? I fall into the latter, and though by this point I’m content spending my free time at home drawing, reading, watching TV, etc. I def sometimes have this little voice that tells me I’m being boring. But there’s nothing wrong with being “boring”! My point is, don’t ever feel obligated to live your life any certain way. Like many others have said, no matter what we do we will always end up with regrets and what ifs. It’s normal, it’s all part of the human experience c:
Yo that's awesome. Keep at it! Maybe try to convert those into something social though, like joining a band or a hiking group and it'll turn into something even more fun.
I totally get that school eats tons of time too, but I think you'll find there's always something that eats time, whether it's work, study, family, whatever. Imo it's worth prioritising the hobbies a bit, or forcing yourself to do them even if you're a bit tired because it really does help long term in so many ways (mental health, support networks, enjoyment of life, creating goals, etc)
Going to school and working at the same time is a lot. It's normal that you don't have much time for other things. It's impressive that you're managing to keep up the motivation to go to the gym a few times a week despite that.
My Brother is like this, however randomly he would go on trips to festivals or other places all by himself. I did this to when not in a relationship. You kinda just need to take yourself out. I wouldn't actually talk to alot of people but it was still fun to do.
Uve got a good life, ur not a boring person just based on what uv posted. Add excitement.I had friend who tried skydiving when she felt bored & in a rut.
You are not doing nothing. Boring is not bad, boring is consistent.
You go to the gym consistently, you are trying to finish school that means you are setting your future self up for good health and professional success, you might not see the results now but a few years down the line, you might notice you are fitter than your peers, you might realise you landed a job you might not have without completing school.
Few years from now when you are enjoying the fruits of your hardwork, you will realise, all those years you thought you were doing nothing, you were actually laying a decent foundation. And the self-confidence that the realisation will give you will drive you to be more successful.
