I don't know why I'm bothering with writing this, meh, maybe I just need to vent somewhere serious...

~3 years ago I was in business school, not that I wanted anything in particular in that field, but everyone goes to some form of college...
halfway through the education everything started to go south, I went from grades A to C and eventually all the way to F, I lost the only drive that kept me going for reasons I still don't know, and eventually I dropped out in the last half year of the education.
After that I sat at home for months wondering what went wrong or what to do now while undergoing tests and conversations with psych's eventually getting to the point where we concluded nothing apparently was wrong except me feeling down for some reason.
I started anti-depressants on the non-confirmed suspicion of depression and still doing a small dose.

After two months of sitting at home doing basically nothing all day I started on something called production school, which is basically a school meant to keep young people like me who for some reason are waiting or stuck in the educational system. I spent over a full year there, not doing much else than play computer games with some fellow students and the occasional task of putting together a PC or setting up a network / server on a low difficulty level (for me at least).

Now I've started on the education for front line tech support / data engineer, the former being 3 years long and the latter 5.
I know I hate teaching ignorant people about computers so the former is obviously not for me, and I barely know what the latter does in the real world.

I can't point out any job in the world I would like to have nor anything I could stand doing 40 hours a week for the sake of the money.
Same goes for my spare time, the only thing that can keep me entertained at this point is the occasional good-story video game / movie and that's not really good for more than 1 day a week since the stuff isn't hanging on trees these days.

I live at my parents' house, age 21 (most Danish people consider it the norm to move out around age 18 apparently), do next to nothing but sit in front of a screen all day, most of which wondering what to do. I don't go out in weekends, can't stand nightclubs and I don't drink which means I have near-no social life outside of school and I haven't bothered with having friends over for anything for years.
Most of my posts on here go by ignored unless they are stupid enough to get flamed,

tl;dr There is no place in this world for me, and I can't see myself anywhere worth being in the future...

Meh, don't know why I posted this as it's pretty much a wall of text for no one to care about but comment / rant as you wish,, I just don't care anymore.....

Set goals. Fucker everyone else.

For now set your goal to finding a goal. Spend at least an hour a day on it.

Honestly, having a post ignored on an internet forum should be the least of your concerns.

Obviously you haven't found one yet.

Keep working on it, specifically in quantifiable amounts of time each day, or it's not going to happen.

I think you just need a catalyst to get you motivated.

Like move out of your parents house.  It'll motivate you to pay your bills.

Or apparently an easy one: break your computer.


I sort of have the same thing going on - I get bored easily.  So I try new stuff.  It's weird though...I don't want to be "the best".  I just want to be respectable before moving on.  So yeah, I haven't quite figured this all out yet either.

Moving out of the house will only force me to work to get money, leading me to hate my life even more thanks to a boring job ontop of my boring school...

I've already accepted that life doesn't have much to offer for stupid little me...

If I do want something I
A: Can't afford it
B: Pussy out (e.g. realising the logistics, costs or impossibilities of stuff like backpacking)
C: Realise it's just like everything else I ever wanted; when I get it, I don't care about it anyway...



I feel that if I can't get what I really want (e.g. a good car (mazda MX5 minimum)) I don't care about it, a compromise feels like "meh" to me

Try volunteering. Surely there's something you'd love to get the opportunity to do and would be willing to do it for free?

I had some of the most fun in college when I got hired at the campus tv station. 90% of the time I felt so lucky and instead of thinking "I have to go to work today" it was "I get to go to work today", and I'd also think how lucky I was to be getting paid for it since I would gladly do it for free (although that part changed as time went on).

Try out different hobbies, and see what you enjoy. If you're sitting around playing computer games all day, you're stuck in a rut and aren't going anywhere. Don't pout and make excuses and say "But I don't like anything". Just try stuff, you'd be surprised at how many things you can enjoy and never thought you would.

College is NOTHING like what it is in the US over here, extra colligular (spellcheck?) activities are next to none...

I've googled my ass off for different hobbies to no result...

I go to school in one of the big 5 cities but live in a city far from any kind of activity...

I think you should make the purpose of your life to shoot down other people's advice.

Youth and entitlement.  God, never heard of earning something?  You expect a nice car just to be handed out to you?  A nice job without working your way up?  You don't work for the money.  You work for what the money can get you.  Unless you are well connected, super smart in a high demand field, well, tough shit.  Work like hell and work your way up.  With a strong enough motivation, you will eventually get there.

I wasn't saying get a job at school or anything, I was just using that as an example of something I found that I loved doing and would've done for free. It was a way to get paid and make money for my hobby.
