I feel bored, but only because I greatly prefer it to being overstimulated. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, which wasn’t surprising considering how poorly I had handled public high school and middle school as a teenager.
I’m in my early 20s now. I’ve experienced extreme lows and relative highs to get to the age and mental stability I have now. I feel like all the trauma I’ve gone through has jaded me as a young adult. I don’t feel passionate about any of my interests, and I spend most of my time on social media. It’s like I’m always waiting for the next big event to trigger my anxiety. When I’m not doing anything proactive, I’m bored and lowkey irritable, and when I am engaged in something, I am once again overstimulated.
Does anyone else feel this way? How would you describe it?

Are you me?
Sounds like you haven’t found your passion. People suffer from all types of different anxiety disorders but you yourself control your fate my friend. Find stuff that you like to do in public but without lots of people. Libraries are a great place to start otherwise start gaming. That I find is a great stress reliever
I’m 25 barely a generation behind you and we’re all f#cked
I feel the exact same way. Feel free to message me if you need to talk to someone that can relate
