I'll try to keep this short. I'm 24 years old and just got a new job making what I consider a very good salary for my age, and my dream job. I have a great apartment, a good car, and feel like I'm generally at a good "baseline" to actually start living my life rather than just working and paying the bills. I've basically neglected my life outside of work, school, and weed for the past 5 years due to a combination of depression, being unable to afford a lot of nice things that other millennials were buying because of my salary and because I was saving most of my money for necessities and other things, and a variety of other reasons I won't get into too much. I used to smoke a lot of weed in college to deal with my depression/boredom/loneliness and I'm realizing now that while I loved it because it helped me cope with life, it basically made me unable to improve myself as a person. I neglected a lot of new experiences and learning things that weren't directly related to my line of work because my life essentially revolved around getting back to the "man cave" and sparking up a bowl to allow my mind to relax. I've now cut all drugs out of my life because I realize now that all they did for me was put a wall in front of me that will make me unable to progress as a person to get better as a professional, to get a girlfriend/wife/start a family, and to be a better friend and person in general. I'd really like to be that fun/interesting/cool/friendly guy and I feel like I have a good foundation for it, but as I mentioned, because I've been neglecting so many things in my life, that is something I now need to work on.

So what am I actually here for... I guess I'm mainly just asking for advice on how to become a more interesting person, ideas for hobbies or something to try out (what I do after work is mostly play a single video game, watch Youtube/Twitch, and occasionally hang out with one of my two friends/go to bars), or any other general (life) tips.
