I am living the same day on repeat. how do i break the cycle?

6 Comments

I am completely stuck in this vicious cycle of living the same day over and over essentially. My life consists of work and on my days off I sit around in my room doing absolutely nothing but stare at my monitor playing video games; the usual shit. I rarely deviate from this pattern. I turned 20 around 2 weeks ago and it suddenly hit me that I have not experienced anything notable in my life in all honesty. I feel that I am missing out on a lot of good shit. But the problem is, I literally have 3 friends, two of which rarely do anything themselves and the other dude actually does have a bit of initiative to go out and live a life but he is quite popular I guess, and I feel like a burden when asking anyone anything first. He's usually busy too. But when it came to the third guy we would go out and get drinks and by the end of the night there would be a decent group of us together and that's something I want to do more of, but not by myself.. After dropping out of college to have this job I have money for once in my life, but I don't know how to get myself out there. I don't know about wanting a girlfriend right now, but meeting a girl would be great and just having something new in my life to give it purpose would help so much.

I know they say: "Life is what you make it" but where I live really doesn't help, it's a small fishing town that's predominantly inhabited by OAP's :D There is nothing nearby that interests me, other than a few bars I guess, but I am not even a huge fan of alcohol, it just gives me something to do and is sociable too. Because of living my life this way, I have developed social anxiety, even though I have always been a pretty shy guy anyway. When I go outside I instantly become paranoid that people are taking the piss out of me, that I am walking funny or that I generally look strange.

I just want something new to try because I am living for the sake of it at the moment. I am currently learning how to drive which will definitely broaden my horizons, but until then..

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Don't. It's called consistency.

    You need a change of scene. It's so easy to just work, eat, sleep and nothing else.

    try and talk to people you don't know, you might be shy but just give it a go, you'll never know until you try and I'm sure it'll be great

    Take a different route home from work one day, or spend an evening off the computer, or even just eat something different for breakfast one day. Little things will build on each other and help break your routine.

    Do you have any vacation time and money saved up? Book a flight to somewhere.
