Find something worth doing. Why would you want to learn? To do something?

Just because i don't have any practical skills. And I feel like a waste of space. But at the same time, I don't have an ideas about what to do, even when I do learn anything.

Then pick something. Even if it's just getting a job to uy something. Get a goal and work towards it.
Learn to work on cars. Start with basic maintenence and work your way up to harder stuff. Trust me, its the best skill you can learn that will pay off the most. As an ase master tech who works at a luxury car dealer, I can say that working on my own cars has saved me more money than anything else I've ever learned. Youtube has a how to for fucking everything now. Look up eric the car guy; middle aged, experienced technician who has how tos for most stuff.
Home maintenance is a good thing to learn too.

Learning for the sake of learning is the purest and most deeply satisfying kind.
Learning something just to get a job implicitly degrades the value of the learning, because it has no value in itself, just as a means to an end.
Learning something just because you want to makes the process its own end. Trying something, and succeeding at it just because you wanted to succeed at what you tried, is tremendously satisfying. It's why people climb mountains, or lose weight - learning Spanish or woodworking or gourmet cooking or whatever can be its own reward.
