I'm in my late teens, living with my parents, and there is nothing i like to do. I mostly shitpost, browse reddit and play vidya to kill time, but none of it makes me happy. It's just an effective way to kill time.
I feel no desire to go to uni even though i could, i feel no desire to play a sport even though i could be decently competitive in a few of them, i feel no desire to play music even though i'm a decent bass player. How do i make myself give a fuck?

You don't, you just suffer more and more until, hopefully, you realize it's your lack of action that is making you miserable, and you start making a change, being willing to sacrifice some short term escapism for a gain in reality.
Or you can wind up on /r9k/ never-never land and stay a child forever
Don't use the internet for a week
How about not giving about not giving a fuck?
Would you say you are complacent, bored, looking for something to do?
You don't need constant stimulus all the time. You can be perfectly fine with doing nothing.

Find something you like and you like to put effort in. May it be work, sport or something, start little and set for higher goals
I think we all had that vidya time during our teens, nothing special I guess

>Find something you like and you like to put effort in.
I've tried any video game, soccer, basketball, kung fu, fencing and baseball, singing, guitar, bass guitar.

I have realized this, however i am not disciplined enough to do something i don't enjoy

>How about not giving a fuck about not giving a fuck?
But that's the whole point, i want to to have something im interested in, so that i am not completely boring, maybe i will have something to say sometimes and maybe i can have some friends again

How about you start with a mini job like the guy who delivers the newspaper or something that will give you some direction. The first self earned money feels very good

Go travelling. It actually ignited some love of life for me again and the confidence I gained from it has carried over, even though I've been back a couple of years now.

No one can tell you what you like or find that for you.
Start a business, learn a technique, finish a book. There's so much "quests" in the game of life :^)

throughout much of history, doing something has always been its own motivation.
but in this day and age, we are born into a very comfortable world where we dont have to do much of anything. so when we get older there is no drive.

I have a job as a bike courier for food. It doesnt inspire me but they pay good money and it doesn't suck.

My parents won't even let me go to a festival abroad with some people from my school, let alone let me travel alone

If you're 18 or 19 then they don't have any say. If you're 16 or 17 then fair enough. Perhaps that's part of the problem, if they're controlling.

I don't make enough money to live on my own, so they have a pretty big say in the matter considering they could just kick me out.
>>16546332
I guess i should just keep looking for something to do then.
learn a language you lazy fuck
>>16546376
Why would i?
>>16546395
Not that guy but why wouldn't you?
>>16546398
Because it takes a lot of effort that i might as well not expend when most people speak english anyway
Also school has mostly killed my desire to find fun in learning
