Is it normal to feel unmotivated for everything?

I feel totally unmotivated in everything I do. I'm not stuck in a depression. I was caught in one briefly about 6 months ago but I feel well over it. But I'm so unmotivated. I've tried taking up light workout sessions but it doesn't seem to help.
Everyday at work I just don't do anything unless I have to. I don't initiate anything, I wait for the initiation to happen. When at home I spend all day online. I don't even feel motivated enough to play videogames or watch cartoons, two of my favourite pasttimes! I rarely go outside or see friends and when I do I never know what to do and get really bored. It always just feels like the same thing on repeat.
I do suffer from social anxiety that holds me back on certain aspects of life, but its been worse than this before yet I was usually more motivated. I'm never a very motivated person but this lack of motivation is obscene to me.

    Motivation is all about wanting become stronger, to make evolution work. To make that happen, you goota find out first why you want to do that and that, then motivation will find you. It will drive you, to what you seek.

    You could have a chemical problem with your body like you don't have enough iron, or maybe you need to take B vitamins.. You may want to talk to your regular physician about it

    Try doing something you really enjoy, or try something new. If you're interested in video games go buy some new game that just came out, and you can invite your friends to play with you! Or go for a walk, you wont be stuck at home, and although you're outside you don't have to interact with people and walking is great to think and it's good exercise. I too suffer for social anxiety, but I'm getting over it, you just have to get out of your comfort zone and try new things in life! Or else your life would be boring and repetitive.
    Hope that helped :)
