How do I cope with the loneliness and missing out? I'm 18 and wish I had a normal young adulthood, instead I do nothing all day. I have no way to make friends, I have no friends from school and I work at a supermarket which seems to mostly employ special ed people, most of my co workers are disabled middle aged people and fat girls. My main cope was riding my motorcycle, but I'm bored of that now.

I refuse to read another "I'm 18 and my life is over" thread

It is over unless I act quickly. Your personality sets in when you're 10, or by then. I'm pretty much the same as I was when I was 14 just more mature. I will be the same as when I am 22 and beyond that if I stay a friendless loner.

You don't know what you're talking about but the only way to get you to understand is to wait 10 years so you can see for yourself how wrong you are. You are going to read this reply and get very mad, and then in 10 years some 18 year old will say "my personality is the same as it was when I was 14 and it will never change" and only then will you understand

Find some productive hobby and try to pursue it. If you don't have anything just experiment with a lot of stuff until something sticks. You need to really look into yourself and try to find out what kind of life would make you happy. Some people's thoughts ate obstructed because they get stuck thinking in limited ways. For example all my youth I never questioned my future because I just assumed that I was meant to find a shitty job that I wouldn't like just to sustain me, so I went to a random high school, then a random university I didn't care about, meant to get a shitty random career I hated because "that's how it is" until I burned out. I never realized I had any dreams and even if I did, the learned helplessness made me think that I wasn't meant to pursue them.
You probably lived like this too, you went with the flow of your loser life and you ended up in a dead end job that for other people your age is only a stepping stone, but you'll spend the rest of your life there. And you too, like me, probably ended up with that broken mindset in the first place because of years of forced social isolation, that resulted in depression, that resulted in you being an aimless loser.

At 18, you need to understand that you can still become almost anything that you want to be. You need to find what you want to be. Everyone's got some calling or some areas they tend to gravitate more towards, even if they feel passion-less. It's especially hard to find them when you have been socially isolated and disconnected from the world.
