I don’t know what to do

[HeroHero]

I am 16 and just about to leave school and Basically what this post is about is that I have no motivation, no goals, nothing I want to do in life and I really don’t know what to do. I used to do many things like sports, hanging out with my mates and just other things people would do, but for the past year or so I have never once had the urge to socialise, in fact I try to avoid it as much as possible, I have no hobbies other than sitting in my room watching anime and playing video games. So I would just like some help my life is so boring and I have exams coming up but even though I am nervous for them I still put in the minimum effort possible so if someone could help and maybe give some advice on how to maybe turn my life around and get me motivated and feel the joy of living that’d be great.

Sorry if any of this makes no sense I am really tired right now but can’t sleep so decided to post this anyway thanks in advance.

16 ? At 16 I had no idea who or what I was. I operated on a strictly what I want, what feels good basis. Motivation never entered into it. The only serious things I did was to read everything 3/4 books a week and I painted. The world has a man made structure to it , and most people seem to accept it. I don't believe in one size fits all. I started to grow up in my twenties and in my thirties I actually started to know and like myself. My forties were my best decade, it's what I would go back to if I could. Don't make yourself fit in, make your life fit you. You'll get out of life what you put into life. Pam

Hi welcome to the club! I never knew what I wanted in life and still don't! I am a lot older than you as well. The main thing to remember is that life is to be enjoyed. It's not all about striving to win the prizes (good job, big house, big car etc.) but about doing what you want to do.

Just carry on living your life and you will find you discover a few passions along the way. To find them you have to be open to new things and get yourself out there x
