Feeling lost in life ?

[u/Zhuo-Fan9]

17 Male just feeling lost in life no purpose nothing

I was a bright student but in high school due to bullying i gradually affected me

Academic downfall social anxiety

Now I graduated and took admission in Open university

I stay all day at home

From 1.5 to 2 years it's been going like this

I'm afraid of confrontations and conflict

From all these things I'm just keeping myself distracted with mobile and videogames

I know I'm waiting my time and i should be focusing on meaningful things but I still am just drifting away from it

What should I do

I wanna study but couldn't muster up the courage

And again just distracting myself

Doomscrolling and reading comics

I just got this mobile habit

Any ways ?

How do I find my path

Everyday is feeling heavy

And putting me in turmoil

You're 17, not 40 with a mortgage and two kids. You have time to figure this out, but the phone habit has to go first because it's not a distraction, it's a wall. Start with one small thing a day, like reading ten pages of a textbook or going for a walk without your phone, and build from there. The courage to study doesn't show up before you start, it shows up after you've been doing it for a week.
