Ive been out of school for a year or 2 (i lost count) and i still have no idea what i want to do in life nor do i have any hobbys or things to do for fun. I have many dreams but i give up on those dreams after like a 2 weeks and then think of some other dream. I wish school prepared me for all this freetime but idk, i just feel lost right now....

Im just wondering how i can figure things out now? i could use advice of sorts?

People are advising about choosing a career and interests, but I think it's a good idea to start by thinking about your relationship to the economy and capitalism and how you want to contend with it. Are you ok with working for the rest of your life? What types of work would you be able to tolerate or be able to enjoy, if any? What are your preferences and priorities with regards to how you are perceived, standard of living, family aspirations, financial security, where you will live? What advantages or disadvantages do you already have going for you? What assumptions are you making about what is financially possible, and could you be wrong? If you aren't sure of these things about yourself, how could you find out? It's worth trying new things to learn about the world.

This stuff is important, because there is more than what type of work you end up doing to what the shape of your life will be like.
