Pic related is somewhat similar to my situation
How do I find happiness, I feel miserable when I go out with these guys to club, get hammered some shit. They're my coworkers and people who are friends with my close friend circle so I don't really know if I can just ghost them and tell them to fuck off as I will see them in the future.

M8 I'm a fucking idiot and these people are probably more accomplished than me, most likely smarter and probably objectively better people.
I just want to play vidya, watch anime, play tabletop and other stuff that they don't seem to want to do.

Then do that. If they call, tell them you don't feel up to it. Do it enough, and they'll get the message.

Isolating him won't solve shit.

You might just have depression OP and you could look up methods to fix that. Don't use any medication to fix it though. Those will just turn you into a zombie.

You can clean yourself up and live better without pretending to like shit you have no interest in. Don't ghost them all right away, but stop pretending to care about shit you have no interest in. One of the first things I tell new people I meet is that I don't give a fuck about watching sports, and whenever they talk about it around me I just overplay how clueless I am about it. They aren't going to just automatically hate you for having different hobbies, some people are more accepting of others than they let on, especially if they've already decided to like you.
