>tfw when you have no friends or social life and are so bored that you actually complete weeks worth of readings and assignments for your classes

So pretty much I kinda learned how to harness my boredom and just do things that are actually productive. It's not like I'm motivated at all. My parents, professors, and classmates all think I'm a really smart and a hard worker, but really I just have nothing better to do.

I used to just jack-off and play video games all day but that got boring. Before I went back to school I would just play bass guitar in my room for hours and taught myself almost everything about music theory based off of the Diatonic/Western scales. I found a real good band to play with and I made money doing gigs but I never really cared or enjoyed it. I told my band mates that the only reason I'm good is because I have nothing in my life that I like so I would just play bass and learn music stuff for like 5 hours a day everyday for 4 months, and they thought I was just trying to make a joke and laughed.

I used to just procrastinate in school when I was younger, but now I just do my work out of complete boredom. It still feels as though I'm procrastinating because I just focus on my studies to avoid going out, making friends, getting a gf, finding things that actually excites me, but everyone around me praises me all the time and it really starts to piss me off.

I didn't make this thread as if I'm bragging about doing really well in school and having a pretty successful band, but to just actually put it out there that I'm depressed and I don't understand why because everyone thinks that I am so motivated and smart and accomplished and have my shit together.
