Beating boredom is very different for each of us, so you just have to find the right things that might entertain you! There's all kinds of books, you might just need to get a better one that covers one of your interests. Think about fun things: Summer is here, so there's going to the park/beach/hiking/fishing/movies/live shows/mall/visit friends/take a trip, etc. There's often events like fairs going on. You could take up a hobby like drawing, dancing, playing music, etc. Just think about what's fun in general besides anime and video games and see what's within your reach! Just don't stay doing the same thing and go out more, whatever you decide! GL!

>summer is here
fucking american retard

Anyway OP, you could try playing an instrument or writing. And watch movies that will allow you to talk to interesting people, the ones that aren't obscure but aren't super popular dumb tier. You could take doing charity work as a hobby, that should make a good impression on people and make you feel better yourself. I hate reading long stuff too, maybe your thing is short stories, try Ray Bradbury.

I've found lately that attempting to distance myself from my current hobbies (addictions?) helps me find new things to do. Even if it's a simple idea, go outside and go for a walk. Sit in the sun, it's good for you. Talk to people. Try and make relationships and ask for real advice from real people.

If you're really conflicted about your current pasttimes, you have to ask yourself if those hobbies are affecting you in a negative way. If they are and you want to change, if at least half of you makes a conscious effort at it, things will change. If it takes time just remember that at the very least time you enjoyed wasting was not wasted.
