Everything is boring, nothing seems to excite me anymore.

Hello everybody, I have just signed up but I have been lurking on this site for months.

As the title says, I can't find anything that gets me excited.
School? I never study but I am able to get good enough grades (except for maths, I suck at it) so I don't even bother.

I have just one "friend", but the only reason I keep my friendship with him is that I am his only friend, and I don't want to feel like a jerk.

I used to love jrpgs and videogames in general, but I can't bring myself to play any game anymore. It's not that I don't like them anymore, I just can't find the will to play them. The same goes with movies/books/anime/manga.

I hate playing sports (I literally hate every sport) and the only reason I'm still fit is that I am a vegetarian. Everyone I know outside of school thinks I'm reasonably fit but everyone at school thinks I'm fat.

I can't help but be a cynical a*****e, and I can't stand my classmates or anyone else in school. I don't believe in love nor in God, and since I'm only 1.70 m tall everyone considers me short at school.

I don't even know how I feel about myself and about all this s**t anymore. Sometimes I feel depressed, sometimes just bored to death.
I'm not motivated to do anything: studying Latin and Greek sounds like a waste of time to me (I don't even know why I chose the "Liceo Classico") and the only school subject I'm good at is English (but I think I don't speak it very well, I probably made some grammatical errors while writing this), but choosing to become a teacher means to be unemployed for a looong time. And I can't stand teenagers anyway.

tl;dr: I'm bored to death, nothing excites me anymore and I'm not motivated to do anything about my life.

Does anyone know what I can do about this?

    I agree with Short4. Maybe all you need is a hobby, no matter how odd your interests may be. Butterflies, chess, cooking. You're at a great time of life; the possibilities are endless. Hope you feel better.

    It's called detachment, and may indicate clinical depression. See a counselor for at least an intake interview.

      Is it possible that this might be just some sort of teen angst or bipolarism? Because today I suddenly got in a good mood for no apparent reason.
      Before I started finding everything boring, I constantly had changes of mood, that even made me think I might have been bipolar.
      Now, after three months of total boredom, I got a Ps Vita with Gravity Rush from a relative and I surprisingly enjoyed it a lot. And I mean A LOT.
      The problem is, even before those three months I found hanging out with people boring, but when I was alone I wished there was someone I could have fun with. This is some seriously contradictive s**t, it just doesn't make sense.
      Another thing I noticed is that I enjoy chatting with people on online chats/forums, but I don't enjoy being around people in rl as much.
      I must probably be really messed up.

    You get what you put in. If you want to have some fun, than get some beer, some weed and go get fucked up. If you want to feel like you're accomplishing something than start studying so you stop getting "good enough" grades and start getting awesome grades. If you no longer feel stimulated by art than expand your horizons. I'm sorry but FUCK ANIME. There are thousands of great movies. Look them up. As for music, it sounds cliche but the old stuff is often the best. Check out Neil Young, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Stones, Beatles, Healey, Duane allman, Jeff Beck, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and Bob Dylan. If you want hip hop than Nas or Outkast. Techno than go for skream, digital mystiks and crystal castles. If you can't find anything you like from those artists than you're dead inside. Good luck man.

    Also if you don't really listen to music right now THAN START LISTENING TO MUSIC.

      It's not like all anime is crap or I've watched only anime. I loved anime like 5 cm per second (for some reason it makes me depressed everytime I even only think about it) or Cowboy Bepop as much as I love movies like Forrest Gump or V per Vendetta. But now nothing seems to get my attention. About music, I tried the "old school" stuff but it bores me (even if it is 1000 times better than the modern crap), the same goes for classical music. Really, I think that listening to music just bores me.
      Another thing I tried was exercising, but I've never got that euphoric feeling that you're supposed to get after a workout.
      Not even a psychologist was able to help me (I don't want to take those pills they recommend you to get).
      I guess there's nothing I can do anymore about this situation.
      As you said, I must be dead inside. I wish I wasn't such a coward and I could put an end to my life. I'm not an emo or something like that, but my boredom and my depression are seriously tiring me.

        Dude stop being such a pussy. You're Italian for fucks sake. You can either wallow in self pity or you can suck it up and realize that depression always passes eventually. The sooner you stop whining the sooner it'll go away. And for the record there is no such thing as that euphoric feeling after a workout. A good workout should actually hurt and make you sore but in a good way that you'll learn to enjoy. There's a big difference between injuring yourself and having a good workout though.

    Life is over for you. Start the process of dying.

      This would be funny if it were actually funny, and not just you trolling someone who's bring up front about their personal shit. Not someone who's being a douche, or an opinionated wanker, but some kid who's just trying to find his way in life n shit.

      That would make you a kind of failed bully. Which really means you've failed at failing. IMO, it's you that should probably consider killing yourself.

      Try to make it entertaining as well as doing it like a man.

    First of all, you're not "messed up", because you're doing a lot of introspection, and are demonstrating a great self awareness, for which you should be congratulated. Now as far as what you recently experienced, yes it does sound bipolar, and now that you mention you're a teenager, also very normal. One thing I think you should look at is your diet. You mentioned that you're vegan who, with today's processed foods, have a hard time getting proper nutrition. These mood swings could be aggravated by swings in your blood sugar level. Hope this helps.

      Thanks for the reply. I'm vegetarian (I still eat eggs and cheese, and luckily where I live it is easy to find not processed food) but I never took in consideration the idea of my blood sugar level having problems, I might ask my family doctor for some analysis.
      Being often alone certainly helped me in getting more time to analyse myself lol, but at the same time it made me extremely shy and self conscious around strangers (I can get quite talkative with people that I know though).

        You don't sound quite hopeless to me. I think if you just find something you are passionate about again you would also have more interest in spending your time with people that share it.

        Whether you are detached or bipolar being with people is good for you. I found it's what pulled me out of my detachment.

    Maybe you should explore yourself spiritually or find something that does mean something to you, it just seems like you think everything has become meaningless but a lot of stuff like video games and manga kinda is. Not to say that it doesn't have it's merits, I'm just saying maybe you wanna focus on bigger things.

    Do you have no ambition to change the world? Provide something that maybe no one else could? Not everyone does, I'm just wondering.

      What you pointed out is exactly the reason I quit playing videogames, reading manga/books and watching movies. That and the fact that now any kind of plot/gameplay I come across doesn't get my attention.
      I've not always been like this. When I was a child I was really ambitious, I wanted to do something that would make other people remember me even after I was dead. Kind of like the ancient Greek heroes, who believed that was the only way to gain a sort of immortality. Now I lost all of my motivation to reach any goal, since everything sounds pointless to me. Add to that my low self esteem and that everybody (including myself) annoys me, and you get that I'm quite hopeless.
      I really don't know what to do to change this situation. I think the only reason I'm trying to get ouf of it is that I'm tired of feeling like s**t everyday and everytime I watch myself in the mirror I feel more and more disgusted.
