So i have a problem with almost constatly being bored also ima young adult so boredom is kinda common around this time. you might be shocked but i cant drive yet becasue im not intersted also im super afraid to drive. i spend most my time indoors becasue it shot outside and scary (thats the dessert for ya). i usally watch youtube and sometimes i play video games but i just want to do something more with my life, ya know? im just not sure what.
also i feel like i post about this kind of stuff way too much… i also want money but i also want to have fun which is annoying.
I know you say you watch YouTube and play video games and want other things, but one thing you could do is start learning one of the main reasons why you’re bored and start a discussion with your family.
You could also start taking free college-level courses about what you might want to do as an adult on MIT Open Courseware, or EDx. Honestly, if it’s free to learn, try a few things out. Maybe what you think you want to do, doesn’t actually jive with you.
You could write fan fiction of books, movies, games, or TV shows you like and post it to AO3. This would help you be creative and thinking about what your characters might do instead of just living in a mundane world.
You said you wanted to make a game. It’s hard work, making video games, but you could use something like Godot to put something quick together. There are tons of tutorials online though.
It might be easier to learn some Python programming first and make a basic text-game. Then you could look at Ren’Py to make a visual novel if you or a friend are good at art.
Hopefully something here will jive with you. But I do want to leave you with this: boredom isn’t bad, actually.. This is part of a stream he did, so I’d recommend checking out the full if you want the tools on how to handle boredom well.
