Yeah bro, how you spend your days is how you spend your life.
Clean and decorate your home. Develop a sense of style. Go out and do things and meet people. Challenge yourself to do something interesting every week. Talk to people, get out of your shell.
Sincerely, the first of her childhood friend group to get married
literally every single one of these things are things that i don't like
Sounds like some defeatist bullshit. Playing games all day is no way to live.
Doing things is a way to be happy. I used to go out every week in my early 20's, still do but not as constantly now that I'm in my 30's. I love meeting people, making friends, falling in love, playing and seeing live music, working with my hands as an electrician, renovating my home, taking care of and loving my dog, traveling, exercising, biking. Hell I volunteered and planted trees with my city's local government just because I was kinda bored the one summer. I'm engaged to the love of my life and my future and career is bright. I do all of this for my own fulfillment and for those that I love, the "contribute to society" stuff sounds like a 13 year old's idea of the Joker. I don't even have social media, unless you count lemmy I guess, so it's not to "show off"
Style is more often than not just grooming yourself and looking presentable. Nobody is saying buy a t shirt every week.
"Never be happy with the situation" is also just a pessimistic viewpoint. If you put yourself in new and interesting situations, then you'll be surprised how much fun or fulfillment or challenging mentally physically whatever they can be. If you don't like it, then change it and don't do it. Or don't, and sit inside all day. It's your life.
If you have a hobby... that hobby is legal, it causes no harm to others and it brings you enjoyment... and anyone... ANYONE... puts you down for it, berates you, mocks, makes out your enjoyment is purile, childish... that person is a wanker... plain and simple. They think they everyone else must live their life according to their standards, their idea of fun and anyone who doesn't conform to their beliefs is a lesser person who deserves to be ridiculed.
There's only 1 real rule in life.
Don't be a wanker.
