OP, 18 is a really young age to worry about wasting your youth, and the line between being young and being old is drawn more so by you than any other factor of life (except, maybe for health but I hope that is not something you will have to worry about for a LONG time).
Do what makes you happy, quit worrying so much. If you're having to force yourself to make friends or social interactions then you are not enjoying yourself. Do what you enjoy, not what you feel you have to do because of what others do, or because of what you see on TV etc.
Is it normal that I feel like I'm wasting my youth?
