This summer has made me realize how empty my life is. Literally all I've done for the past 2 months is watch anime and play video games. I have no friends, I literally just sit in my room all day, and I feel like im wasting my life. I wanna change my hikkikomori ways but I don't even know where to start. Pls help me

Get a job. Jobs instill responsibility because you have to get up and go out to report somewhere. You have work to do, And you get paid, which in turn improves your self esteem because you earned something.
You also meet people at work. A lot of people form lasting friendships with people they meet at work, because it's an instant factor that you have in common with them, and talking points you can bond over.
Socialization is a positive thing. Humans are social creatures by nature. By not socializing, you're denying yourself a very basic need of your species. Whether it's work, casual friendships or relationships, those forms of human interaction are positive to your sense of purpose and growth.

I'm actually starting a part time job tomorrow, but its only a few days a week and most of the time I'm going to be working by myself, so there's not much chance for social interaction (Im working the front desk at a small gym)

It was fun for like the first month and a half but after that i started to get extremely bored and lonely. I honestly don't know how some of you guys can be NEETs for years. I think I'd go crazy eventually

Time spent enjoying yourself isn't wasted.
Aside from that, if you want my advice, try some self-improvement. Just some basic exercises on a daily basis can get you feeling much better about yourself.
