>If I can do 100%, why should I settle for less?
Like I said, it's ultimately a matter of the performance over time, integrals not rates of change, if you will. At least as far as sustainable efforts are concerned. Pacing yourself will prevent burnout without compromising efficiency too much.
>taking the first step or first pedal turn.
That is something worth investigating though, of course. If doom scrolling is your main issue combined with the screen time necessity you have.. I see a possible but counter-intuitive approach: stop and go. Frequent breaks where you force yourself to close EVERYTHING, get up, do something else, and return to a blank slate after.
>Writing. Even if/though I enjoy worldbuilding, making an actually coherent story in that world shows my lack of imagination clearly.
How do you feel about fanfics/fucking with established settings?

You're adorable, Anon. Congrats on hitting your milestone!
>unfortunately not doing too good on the socializing front, but i won't give up.
If you wanna talk about how your attempts are going to get more eyes on it, don't hesitate to speak up!

>I feel so embarrassed. I'm not really that open about my sexuality, and so now it feels like I've exposed this really vulnerable side of myself for no reason.
It's not quite true, Anon. I do understand why you feel this way. And yes, being lonely and deprived of contact does fuck one up. I am EXTREMELY physical myself and I remember my single years. I got some cuddles from friends at least, which is quite a difficult thing to attain for many guys. Opening oneself up makes one vulnerable. And as such it can hurt like hell when things go like this. Do you have friends you are out to?
