1/2

My life is really boring now. I've gotten bored of my hobbies, I don't watch shows, movies and I've stopped watching Youtube/social media because I don't want to consume slop.
I really just work, do some college stuff and then go to sleep at around 8 pm and wake up super early at 4 or 5 am.
I don't have a social life because I'm a piece of shit to people, not gonna lie, and I don't know how to change that either. What is there to do in life?
>Playing piano: Okayish activity, I don't really care about it anymore. I'm mostly an intermediate-advanced player. I get bored of it and it stresses me out a lot sometimes.
>Making music: It's really boring and it does't stimulate me much. I have some pieces, it's not something I see myself doing forever.
>Drawing: I don't have a drawing tablet, and when I did, I didn't use it much and didn't know what to draw. I did it very infrequently.
>Channing: Slop activity. I hate it.
>Working on my house: I do it, but it's boring as hell. Hard work too. Makes me sleepy afterwards.

2/2

>Playing guitar: Boring, prefer piano.
>Watching anime: Okayish. But after a while, I've grown bored from it because they all follow very archetypical storylines. I already know how they end and what the characters are. Also I don't extract much value from it.
>Vidya: Okayish, boring now because I just don't see what functionality I can get out of it. My mind goes to worse places when all I do is consoom.
>Writing: Puts me in a sleepy state and I sleep way more. Not stimulating at all.
>Fishkeeping: It's nice to see the fishies. But this is a very passive activity.
>Cycling: It's fun but my city sucks for cycling. And it gets me sleepy because when I go back home, I don't know what to do. I can't expect to cycle 7 hours a day.
>Fitness: I've lifted before and got nice results, but it didn't lift away my feels so I stopped eventually.
>Lucid dreaming, psychic/spiritual shit: Puts me in a very schizo space and it starts to depersonalize me even more, you get way less stimulation from irl and you become even more apathetic. I know because I've experienced it.

I probably need to have more sex, but knowing me, I would eventually get bored of that as well.
I don't know how to get friends anymore, especially with the newer years where you have to consume slop to relate to other people.

So can you guys recommend me activities for guys like me, that isn't killing myself. I'm really fucking bored. I wish I had something to be autistically interested in.

Go to a community college and learn something advanced. Try math

Yo that's not a bad thing. The world is supposed to be mundane. You need to use your time here to do the boring things: maintain yourself, debug yourself.

I'm already in college.And I have to do it online because i'm a poorfag and have to pay for it while working.
There's not much prospects in math unless you were born a math genius or are autistic about it, which i'm not.

Once you reach your thirties, you'll feel almost nothing.

Maybe try textile arts. Like knitting, crocheting and such. It's relatively easy, meditative and not exhausting.

Thats what I did anyways after I got tired of anime and vidya. I particularly enjoy baltic pick-up weaving. The rhythm of the activity is just so perfect.

Try learning how to use hammer and make maos for Counter Strike, if you are interested in game development and arkitekture.

there's a few things you could try. are you really expert level in any of the things you've mentioned? if you combine lifting and sprints (to increase your T) and look at other people's work and lose yourself in trying to achieve a similar level, you might get a competitive feeling that makes you want to get out of bed every morning to keep fighting. Also, personally,
I think you'd love martial arts. You seem like you've been doing very low intensity activities. Even weight lifting is fairly low intensity compared to doing martial arts. When someone's got you in a chokehold and you want to do nothing more than tap out so that you can breathe again, but you push through because you want to avoid giving up even more, and then you just barely manage to escape and turn the situation around, there are few feelings as euphoric. Give it a shot man, I think you'd really have a lot of fun. I'll lurk this thread for a bit if you or any other anons have any questions.
