You gotta have something to look forward to which is edifying and socially satisfying. You're in a great position to get into a new sport from the sounds of it, actually. Have you tried rock climbing, jiu jitsu, kickboxing, or getting into swimming? Just something that requires using your body and building confidence, giving you something to get better at, which means you look forward to actually going out and doing it.

Actually thanks for posting this. My situation is different but I'm in a rut too. Let's get better together!

Edit: oh yeah, I've got ADHD and definitely recommend getting professionally evaluated for that. Getting evaluated for mental health can help you reframe your difficulties with being effective, thus alleviating some of the guilt and shame, making it easier to stick with healthy habits when things don't go how you intended, which is inevitable but ultimately not insurmountable.

Or you'll reach a point at which you develop real principles, such as "don't compromise with fascists like the KKK"

extreme left positions such as "maybe we don't want to kill black people, even a little bit"

Engels' family owned a factory and he went to work there in a professional managerial role after 1848, and he's still upheld as the cofounder of the Marxist tradition because of his own theoretical contributions and how he supported Marx. Coming from a more privileged background doesn't make you a bad socialist, it's what you do with it that matters.

Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. —Karl

I got curious about electronic typewriters not long ago. My friends got me a straight up old fashioned mechanical one though, lol
