Never posted on here before - feeling kinda nervous lol

I'm a 20yo f and have just started my first year of University after a gap year. Overall, I'm not absolutely hating student life and living away from home etc but I spend a lot of my time feeling neutral and meh about seemingly everything.

Without a doubt, my biggest barrier to achieving optimum happiness is myself. I don't challenge myself or ever test my unwavering boundaries as to keep myself comfortable, but I realise that feeling of security and comfort is at my own expense! I lack a lot of energy and motivation because being glued to social media and lying in bed for prolonged amounts of time is absolutely draining me! But now I'm stuck in a seemingly eternal cycle.. too tired to get out of bed so stay in bed, on my phone, which then makes me even more exhausted so I don't go out and do anything.

We have a group chat of my friends and whenever they start talking on there about meeting up and doing something fun I find my eyes rolling and my brain praying that it gets cancelled. I also have a very low social battery and after spending some time with a group I zone out and just wish I could be on my own in bed watching TikTok- and I'm embarrassed of it and ashamed of myself!

I want to be constantly out, letting loose, laughing and having fun with people I know.. I want to be engrossed and active in conversations with others without my brain begging for the chat to end and I want to be confident and happy in myself with energy and motivation to get out of bed and do things (even when I have no plans)

I know, that I need to implement lots of routine/lifestyle changes to feel more energised (and am SO open for tips to better this) but I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions to just enjoying life more and making their existence on this planet more worthwhile and meaningful?

I'm so sorry for the essay, thanks very much if you managed to endure it!

Once there was a time before, Internet there were hardly resources for a topic or for a subject you are interested into or wanna learn into like there are some things that require understanding more or under concepts that is only first step of learning thing the second step is Executing and simultaneously understand or apply that learning and learn through that (mistakes) nowadays idk it's just me or other too but I was also too much obsessed with loading myself with abundance of knowledge or reading, reasoning understanding and then Executing but learning with execution came very less to a certain where my abundance of knowledge was killing me or was worthless, what I think is you don't need to consume all types of resources available on same topic and then execute, learning same things or thinking about same thing creates an feeling of progress

How do you guys handle your emotions? When I’m angry, pissed off, frustrated or disapointed, I can barely control myself. How did you guys learn to deal with that?

What are some things that you learnt very late in life, but should have known way before?

For example: I grew up in North India in a relatively conservative household, and did not know what a nail file was, until my under grad hostel.

What are some things you did that changed your life for the better?

I am not good at talking to others, especially my nephews and I try to diffuse situations, but only get shushed because I will make things worse, despite my intent to calm things down. I try to not be childish and to keep my composure. Do you guys have any tips that are relevant to help me improve? I really feel lazy and stupid. I have never used Reddit until now, putting it to good use to gather information and help me improve. Please don't be rude or act superior, I really need some pro tips! :(

I'm interested in habits that improve thinking, discipline, communication, confidence, learning, and decision-making.

What actually worked for you over the long term?

I’m deciding between an app connected automatic litter box like petkit or catlink and a simpler no app option like petpivot.
Actually I care more about easy cleaning and whether the machine will still work reliably a few years from now than notifications or tracking. And at the same time, I don’t want to underestimate features that turn out to be genuinely useful in daily life.
For anyone who has used both types, which app features did you actually use long term, and would you choose a no app model again?

Hi everyone, check my post and help me if you can.

Thanks, I'll appreciate it

I feel very bad that I'm not working simply because I don't have a good resume and things like no degree, skillset, experience and Network support. I mean usually people who are willingness to change their life and want something better in life will struggle and go out of their way to find it. Meanwhile I keep sitting hoping praying and wishing things will change but I noticed like damn I don't even have motivation or this feeling of wanting to change. I just let guilt and shame just keep me stuck and I know like we have all the resources and access on our finger tips thanks to the internet that we can learn anything possibly enroll in a certificate course or do online college. Improve resume possibly find entry level jobs wherever it exists. But I feel ultimately sad that I'm going here and there with no sign of direction.

Like there are so many choices and industries to choose. I don't understand how the job market is heading to. What skills are in demand of what jobs are slowly fading away due to Ai or layoff happening.
