My life has not much enjoyable or meaningful stuff in it. I have interests like programming, game development, and that kind of virtual stuff. Other than that I do most of the things on my own. Being lonely, disliking and differing from people causes me to isolate more. I wish i had interests like sports, playing instruments, etc. I envy those people who are versatile and have multiple things to do in life.

So, as a result I feel lifeless. As you know i quit ssri medications because of some terrible effects, now I am pondering more than before. It's a bit depressing to think how time passes so fast and how less i can do to progress. I guess i need to take some serious action but dont know what would be best for me.
Rant done for today

What about hobbies like model railways where one can create lovely layouts to display to others.
(If you do want to take up ths hobby, there are cheaper ways to do it as todays prices in hobbies like this are stupid! I can share with you the budget friendly ways that I have found to cut costs).

Unfortunately it didn't whip up my interest.
People say try a lot of things to find your passions, but i dont really know where to start

Have there been times in your life when other things have been more attractive/interesting to you?

I'm just thinking, if you're adjusting to a change in medication, how you feel right now might not be entirely accurate, or a good indicator of how you might feel in the future?

Do you get involved in group programming/game development projects or do you fly solo?

lack of interest in life , profound feeling of blankness may be signs of depression. See a doctor, as health conditions can also cause this sort of feeling. There are so many things that can help us, nobody needs to suffer today, there are alternatives. You deserve a full and rich life with meaning! Self care always first!
