Bored AF. I hate 9-5 job. I don't have any other skills. I scroll social media for no good reason

Hey there.

It’s totally alright to be clueless about where life is heading and feeling stagnant at times. Let me remind you that you might be having a feeling that you are missing in the things you mentioned, but also at the same time you also have some experiences which people do not have :

1. You are not overtly dependent on any one for happiness.

2. I assume you are more or less comfortable being alone on your in your own solitude. (You definitely feel like needing company but that’s different, there are very few people who are actually capable of staying in a good state of mind on their own…you are one of them😊)

3. I assume you must be an introvert at core (from the post and comments I read), also who has been like this almost all her life….Know that being an introvert is actually a super power, your happiness must be derived from the little things and you do not really need a lot of be kept happy.

Now that you are aware of the goodness you have , you can may be start introducing more people in your life.

Try going on chai/coffee breaks at office now that you work from office sometimes.

Try gyming or may be badminton or any such sort of sports that you like.

May be if you are into making friends online, can try that.

Or may be if you are into reading …I see clubs and communities of people in blr for young folks who for anything..from literally coffee enthusiasts, to artistic folks, to book reading communities and so on.

Uninstall social media for one month. And you will see a lot of changes. That is what is giving u anxiety. Try reading. Meditation. Pick up a new skill, a new sport. There are a Lot of things to do in life than to waste it on social media

I don't post / use my real ID. I have fake IDs created in insta/fb/Twitter and I use them to scroll. I hide bcoz I don't want people to run behind me asking my life's update. I am reserved person. I am insecure about my job, looks and growth no matter how good I'm progressing in these areas. I don't know what I want from my life. I work hard to achieve my career growth. I'm ambitious but the moment I achieve my desired goal for the year it's no longer worth my interest I start feeling less and always haunt for bigger. I think only pushing myself is giving a lil life to my existence. Otherwise my life's a complete trash

I (28/M) felt the same. I joined some running clubs, started gym, badminton, began going for walks and things began to get better.
The dopamine hit from real physical accomplishments is a healthy way to feel better. The dopamine hit from the doom scroll is as addictive as a drug.

I started looking for happiness from a biological point of view and realised I'll have to do some biological hacking. I need to make my body do things to make me feel happy.

I don't have any huge circle in the city, just a few people in office with whom I chit chat when I go to office, and then I'm back home.

I also started questioning a lot about what I need from life and what changes are necessary to get it. Therapy/introspection helps.

I stopped hating the monotony and started appreciating the stability as it gives me freedom to try other things if some day I wish to.

What do you want from life? I am assuming you are also having self image issues and maynot be very good looking. Just hang on time will pass. Spend 2-3 hrs a day learning something. You are lucky to have time and also earner.

It's like someone got into my head and penned it. Can relate with everything. You are not alone.

Put yourself out there and make friends. Any friends. Deepen whatever friendships you form. Target that within next 3M you have 1 new best friend, 3-5 within a year.

See how your life changes
