So i have a problem with almost constatly being bored also ima young adult so boredom is kinda common around this time. you might be shocked but i cant drive yet becasue im not intersted also im super afraid to drive. i spend most my time indoors becasue it shot outside and scary (thats the dessert for ya). i usally watch youtube and sometimes i play video games but i just want to do something more with my life, ya know? im just not sure what.

also i feel like i post about this kind of stuff way too much... i also want money but i also want to have fun which is annoying.

Exercise, reading, video gaming, watching movies, painting, sculpting, weaving, virtual reality, photo editing, origami, drawing, Lego, electronics, programming.... I mean, there's a lot of things you could do.

you make some good points but i just feel like i stink at everything even simple things, idk maybe im just depressed. ive been wanting to make a game lately but i keep trying and trying but no matter how hard i try i just cant. also can you explain some of the things you listed like electronics, what do you mean by that?

It's totally OK to stink at stuff, it would be weird if you were just somehow automatically good at it. Don't give up, even if you just do a little bit every day. Hobbies take time and practice and every hobby isn't going to interest every person: Try out different stuff to learn what you like!

Except exercise, just do that one even if you don't like it at first: It's a great way to help cope with depression too. I go for walks every day and that alone has done a lot for my mental health.

By electronics I mean learning about electrical engineering, how circuits work, etc.
