I’m 18 and don’t really have any lust for life (Is this normal??)
idk how to word this- i’m not good at explaining things with words lol. BUT, i feel like i just sit around and do nothing all day. I don’t really mind that though, it’s nice to replay red dead redemption and watch tik toks all day- and then occasionally clean while listening to podcasts. I don’t have school next september because I just graduated and haven’t applied for uni (well i applied to places but there’s only one school i rlly want to go to, so i’m gonna apply for it in august. but even then school won’t start till January i think) Anyways, I quit my job a while back because I thought I had a new one lined up (i did not) so now I really have no expectations. my parents want me to get a job by September, which i guess i should do. But like, I really don’t desire doing anything. I like staying home all day, I like hanging out with my dog, I don’t really miss my friends because we text and play games. I only feel bad when I compare myself to others. like my friend who’s going on a date this friday- why don’t i have a date this friday? or my friends who have jobs- why don’t i have a job? ykwim? but to be honest I get over it pretty quick so i dunno.
The only productive thing i do is work on my portfolio and skills for a future career (3d modeling and all that.) but I spend maybe 2 hours tops a day on those skills, so idk.
Not sure what the point of this post is, I guess i just want to see if there’s anyone out there feeling this way too? or have felt this way. I think that because I don’t see people my age in person everyday anymore, I forget what I should be doing with my life if that makes sense. i’m not depressed about it, but i’m prone to depression and I’m worried it’s just a matter of time if i stay in my lame life style lol
Thanks to anyone who read all this!
