need advice on how to take back my own life. it's hard to describe but it seems like everything i do lately is for someone else; i go to the gym so a girl will like me, I read so people will think I'm cultured, I pursue activities so others will accept me.
I no longer have anything i just do for my own benefit/fun, and if I do i feel guilty about it after, like i wasted time.
how the hell do I start just being my own person again? i don't know how I got this way but i can't snap out of it or even figure out what I -do- like anymore. i can find things I like and dislike in everything, to the point my brain is just flooded and i don't even know what to do anymore.
basically I feel completely lost and completely confused as to who I am, what I'm living for, what I'm doing, or what is even happening on this planet.

stop caring about what others think of you, even better if you can stop caring about others completely.

that's one way to put it, most legit autists i've known do things they like instead of what's popular at the time

Get of social media for a month if your obligations allow it. Better yet get of the grid, maybe get one of those old cellphones that only have SMS and phonecalls if you need something. Read philosophy, starting with the Greeks and slowly build to more modern authors, And no internet except if you need to for your obligations. Also no TV. A month like that should give you some perspective.

I think that is what you called "being an adult." Don't drop going to the gym, you are actually taking care of your body. Reading is good too, don't stop that either. Why not give yourself time to do some hobby that you like. If you are worried about time wasting, pick a skill to learn.
