I'm 23, I've been doing almost nothing but sitting

I don't know, man, we all kind of struggle with that. You're in the same boat as me and for one.. all I can say is trial and error. I've been trying to get out of the same old repetitive habits now for about 5 to 6 years. It depends on how much you want it. I keep failing because I'm so used to the way I am. Although things are gradually getting worse, I just find myself slowly accepting it and my reality I've chosen to live.

I feel that a part of me is pushing back against accepting it fully and just giving up but it's not strongest enough to stop me from being self-destructive. I've been around the ropes with trial and error here and there but a shoulder gets popped, I get tired, boredom sets in, I notice people and their glances, I think about how it'll get dirty again, I say to myself that I can do it later, a few individuals act cruelly toward me, I realize how behind I am in life, I set my eyes back on my computer and I give up, no matter what it was I set out to do. I know these are excuses but they highlight something I think, whenever I stress about anything this is how I cope, sooner or later.

However this makes it seem like the stress is the only reason I fall back to this and I don't think that's the case. I think being on the computer is fun, I like it, I like to do certain things here more than I like to do certain other things, it's what I know and it's what I love. It's how I socialize(if you can call it that), how I relieve myself emotionally, mentally or even sexually, it's how I entertain myself and it's what my life really is. That doesn't mean I accept it, I want something better and I want to become a better person but I don't know how to get myself to replace this routine of mine with something productive and stick with it until I've become balanced.

Right now it feels like I'm on the absolute extreme end of the scale and I'd really like to know at least once what it's like, firsthand, to be in the middle.

I didn't read your whole post since I'm pretty exhausted. I skimmed it though. You said you enjoy doing what you do. Me too, even though I'm ashamed. A huge part of me would love to be away from everyone and just do my own thing without any judgement. I don't even know if that's relevant. But maybe we just like our lives this way but it's not liveable in future terms because people judge and we have limits on what we can do. I don't know. I'm sad too op and I hope we both figure it out.

Keep maintenancing your muscles atleast.
Stay fit, think about your health.

Take a job perhaps to get some extra motivation. Lifting jobs, thinking jobs or two combined.

I relate mostly to your sentiment but I really dislike what this lifestyle is doing to my mind and body.

I feel you. I was at one point the same as you. I'll i would do is shitpost,porn, and browse the internet until 3 am. It's all about habit. One trick that helped me build good habits is the Pomodoro technique. Basically you commit yourself to do something within a time frame like reading a book for x amount of minutes.It doesn't matter if it is 30 minutes, 5 minutes or 3. The point of it is just to get you to do something.That will help you build willpower. One other thing that really helped me was having an active activities like jogging or weightlifting.

I've tried the Pomodoro technique and it's actually the one thing that would keep me in my studies when I remembered to use it. Never even thought of using it outside of uni stuff but I can see it being really helpful. Actually very glad you mentioned that. Will definitely try variations of it for different things tomorrow.

I used to be into running for a while but I started losing too much weight and had to stop. When I did do it I remember enjoying it a lot, the progress I saw while running was a lot like in a game. At first I fucking sucked but then I kept to it and started noticing that I was running farther and farther, faster and faster. Might not be coincidental that I ended up on the president's list(4.0+ GPA) the semester I did all of that running.

for starters go outside and buy something from the store or some coffee place or juice or whatever and do it like 2-4 times a week and do it until you get comfortable enough and then see what life would put in your way or where curiosity takes you, or adopt a small pet perhaps it'll encourage you to do something for it idk

Holy fuck. We're the same person

Ive been super depressed about this lately. I know however that if i have money id happily go travelling and staying in hostels because thats the only way i can meet people and make friends. Ive been trying really hard to start an online business but that isnt making me any profits.
It all feels hopeless man. I feel like im in prison except its a little more comfortable.

Honestly go for a walk

It was the onlg thing that cleared my head and made me want to change. I use to be indoors for so long that I almost forgot how it looked outside. Being able to see everything crystal clear was great amd helped me really think about my goals in the long run

You can make your mark on the world so easily outside on the dirt or on a rock so why not with people too? Its easy man

It's nothing compared to prison. Don't feel sorry for yourself ever. Make a plan and go for it. Just get out of the house. Go walking. Even just lay down and just think about everything you want. And make a plan and do it. But the first step will always be getting your ass up
