How do you cope? I'm starting to consider taking a second job washing dishes or something to kill the rest of the time.
I write stories. It's very satisfying. Kills time and lets you think.

I don't think I even have enough creativity or patience for that
Literally me OP.
And on the weekends, I try endlessly to find things to do because I'll feel like I'm wasting my free time if I don't.
And I usually just end up getting shitfaced.

>How do you cope?
Well I'm only 21, still in school.
But I certainly feel like this is going to be me in the future.
Maybe try to create your own business on the side with the 'solid salary' you're pulling in?
That or get a Stacie and create a family. You'll never have free time after that.

same
but i'm forcing myself to do things i used to enjoy. it's hard and seems to be a waste of time sometimes but then again what would i be doing if i didnt do anything?

These are literally me. Right now I'm sick of everything so I'm trying to fill the void by making as many friends as possible and it isn't working either.
Not sure if depressed or what.
>>29233831
That's what happens when you fulfill your dreams, you get bored. I man needs a purpose, something to dream about.

Shit guys I'm 22 and this seems to describe me. I seem to fill the void by working more and playing vidya. Sometimes I stay late just because I have nothing better to do.
>How do you cope?
Don't need to, I have low IQ and anxiety so everything is a struggle. As a result I have experienced very little in life, which makes me hopeful toward the future.

I don't even need the extra money and don't have motivation for that. I have around $8,000 in my checking account and add an additional $1k-1.5k monthly.

>tfw have about $30k sitting around in a savings account and still can't figure out what to spend my money on
Shiiiiittttttt
Find some new hobbies, it's really the only way to kill time
>>29234809
If I had that kind of money I would maybe buy a new sports car. Yeah its a stupid investment but normies spend that money on spoiling their kids with iPads and shit or overpriced alcohol.
Buy a car and just drive. You don't even need to go anywhere specific, just drive in the highway with some comfy music.
>>29234777
Nice lucky sevens.
Senpai, you don't have to be a capitalist pig to enjoy owning a business.
>it doesn't have to be about the extra income
Let's see, me, in your situation with about $7,000 to play with.
Try to flip cars, for fun.

And not to mention you're using your time productively and you'll hopefully feel rewarded doing it.
>>29233831
Everything you listed is consumption OP.
Try out hobbies that involve producing something.
I had the same problem as you. I was bored with everything.
I decided to start making music and drawing with no background in either of those areas.
There is a long way to go before I can call myself skilled in either those, but it gives me a purpose in life.
Produce, don't consume and hopefully you can chase away the ennui.
Meanwhile here I am, Sitting in my room looking at the six perfectly rolled joints full of the weed I just bought and look at this post, Drugs man. makes life that much more interisting and exciting. Just don't go over board and get caught and don't let it duck with your work and hey presto.

For right now I'm saving it with the idea that I will go to graduate school in the future. I probably won't though kek. And honestly grad school is so expensive it would wipe out my savings in a year.
I dedicated myself to the noble pursuit of high knowledge of the human body. I am studying to become a doctor of medicine
>>29233831
Try becoming a volunteer firefighter

This, 24 and barely going back to cc to finish a useless degree at the local university
Life will never be boring cause every little simple thing is a great hurdle. I don't know if that's better or worse.
You probably still need to mature. Think outside the box/do something externally. Create some art or something. Volunteer and help out people. Start a non-profit. Whatever. Inward things obviously bore you so do more outward.
Alternatively if you feel no excitement/passion from your job (often a good job is more than enough to make you feel fulfilled at the end of the day) so maybe there's an issue there too.
>>29233831
By bettering yourself. Get /fit/, knowledgeable and socially competent. That is enough to keep you occupied for years.
As well both meditation or prayer ( a religion of your choice) are good ways to be content with what you do/ your time.
