Honestly I am bored of being online 24/7 and I am looking to enjoy myself once every few times, especially now I am of legal age.

My circumstances:

  • Broke as fuck, I can barely go about in my neighborhood especially thanks to the Philippines' car addiction. I can only go about immediately after school.
  • My health is basically a complete clusterfuck. I am gonna work out but only starting with less intense ones for at least 4 months then go on from there given that going all in at once is gonna fuck me over.
  • I have a nasty habit of procrastinating and juggling projects, which is why my life - and by extension my channel - is basically in a giant development hell. It honestly sucks.
  • I need some shit to do outside of having skill issue in CoDM, Halo MCC, etc. I do have breadboards, jacks, playing cards, and even binoculars. I don't see how those aren't viable. Spending a shitton of time on games surprisingly enough actually worsens said skill issue due to exhaustion.

Live. And embrace boredom. Because life is mostly boredom sprinkled with some moments of happiness.

embrace boredom

I dunno how.

See it as a normal thing, not a bad moment.

Going on a walk helps me, even if going alone. Although by what you've said there's probably nowhere to walk to where you live, so that sucks.

Don't be afraid to go out and do things and fail at them. Interested in planting herbs and veggies? Do it. Will your first pepper plant die? Probably, but you can always do it again. Wanna play guitar? Do it. Will your first months of playing sound like dying cats? Absolutely. But have fun while trying at least.

Also,

Being online 24/7

It's hard but stop doing that all the time. The online space sucks.

No but I am interested in FAFO with breadboard and calligraphy.

I like reading or arts, talking to people about reading and arts.

Webtoons tend to help me a lot when I am under stress from work. I just shut my brain off and read rom com.

As for shit to do outside, do you have a basketball court close by? It might be cool to play if people are kind enough to teach you.

Can you program?

I need some help.
I procrastinate too much as well.

[–] JoeDaRedTrooperYT@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am doing a basic game engine.

Ah cool, I've half-constructed one as well two decades ago,
but right now I'm creating an installer for the safe network.

Work on your health. I suggest Yoga. Follow-along routines of whatever length you like can be found on YouTube.

One of the best things, if you can afford it: enroll in a class. Could be anything. Painting. Swimming. Dancing. Learning something new alongside other people really puts your mind in a different state

[–] JoeDaRedTrooperYT@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I can't, again I'm broke.

You could look into social programs in your area. If not for wellfare, you could do it to volunteer. This wouldn't exactly be a way to "enjoy life" per say, but it may help your circumstances.
