That's all I do, sit around waiting for 10pm and bed time, then it starts again. Only good thing is at least the weeks go quick and it's soon Friday again, although I had to work last weekend so it didn't really matter.

Quite right however this also applies to kids
I am amazed at how many of my friends have zero life after they have taken care of there brats, hoose, job and wife..... they have 5 mins per week to breath.
Some try and build a "man cave" that place they can go for silence - what a joke.
Dont have ***** kids, spend your time in your life on no1 - YOU.
Hence why i am a grumpy 'tard
Curveball, how do you feel about yourself? Do you feel like you are a capable individual, who can take on challenges in the world and provide value to people both on a one-to-one scale or at a societal level? Do you feel like that you are someone who deserves to recognised in this way? I get the feeling you feel a little bit "meh" about yourself too, and if so, that's where you need to begin. You can't do anything if you don't feel like a) you're capable of slaying dragons and/or b) you don't feel like you'd deserve to be rewarded for it if you did.
A valid justification of my dad’s mantra, “Memories live longer than dreams.”
Had the same feeling just after I turned 30. Decided to fix that problem by changing my environment. Packed my bags and moved to another country.
Problem solved because I'm learning new things so I'm not sitting around and saying "I can't be arsed" Until one day you wake up, start having health issues due to old age then regret not doing something when you had the chance.

If you have the balls to commit long term go and do something amazing. Build a robo AI, win a sporting event, have a child, start a new job or company, write a novel... All big ideas to give you something to sharpen your teeth on over the course of several years.
Elsewise the below is on point:
Admittedly I expect everyone on this thread feels the way you do to some extent, very few people truly reach Eudaimonia.

I've found that the rewarding things in life are challenging, but they don't have to be huge, life changing challenges like having children, starting a business or becoming an Olympian.
What are these challenging things?
Hobbies!
I've got 3 main hobbies which have evolved over time enabling me to enjoy the outdoors, give me goals to achieve and provide a challenge.
Don't underestimate what a good hobby can do for your wellbeing.
You get out what you put in!

Ah, so you're not willing to actually change your life. You just want validation that what you're doing is OK.
How do you know you won't love it unless you do it? You can spend a couple hundred pounds on a long weekend and you may love it, you may not but if you don't try then you won't ever know.
No one can change your life but you, but you've been given an option but you're not doing it because you can't be arsed.
This may be harsh, but don't expect anyone else to improve your life. You have to be arsed. You have to do something different. You have to put the first foot forwards.

Do you play the guitar? (Just curious going on your username, can't recall if I've seen you chatting in the Guitar thread) If you do maybe you could pursue that? Try to find some people to jam with? Write some music?
I am similar, i have zero interest in going abroad and seeing other countries which is why i aint been off this island since i was 16 or so and i dont like bright sunshine or heat so i aint ever going to sit on a beach.
I did go round scotland last year for a week or so, stayed up around lochness and a few other places, when i was speaking to a chap selling tickets for the castle he was surprised to hear i only live a hundred or so miles away
This year aint been too interesting other than seeing a lot of the inside of our new hospital and having had 6 months off lol.. still thats now nearly over so... back to working on stuff that interests me... technology.
You don’t need to go somewhere sunny and hot, nor do you have to sit on a beach
There’s a big wide world out there that is worth seeing and experiencing

No. I always do things to challenge myself, set myself goals and do things that scare me and take me out of my comfort zone.
Believe it or not, I’m very jealous of you.

Me too and i wonder if thats why i am content with bumbling along
I too have aphantasia and I’m far from content bumbling along. It sounds like the OP just hasn’t experienced life so is happy to do what he always has and get what he’s always got.
