I'm 24, currently working retail and I have no idea what I want to do next. I feel totally overwhelmed by options. I know what I don't want, but I have a really hard time knowing what I do want. There's nothing I'm super passionate about. I am somewhat drawn to more creative roles but I think that's because I like the idea of them more than anything.

Common advice is to go out and try stuff but I don't really know how? Maybe it's just where I live, but I don't really see many opportunities around me.

My only real requirements are I want something with good pay (I know not many starting roles have a high wage and it's something you work up to) and I want to be able to travel sometimes.

Every weekend is the same; I decide I want to go out and do something. But then I struggle to actually think of something/choose and so spend the weekend sat at home in a state of decision paralysis.

I think since I never actually make a decision it leaves me kind of "disconnected". It also leaves me open to a lot of existential anxiety about wasting my life, etc. I honestly feel relieved sometimes when I go back to work because it's like my time is spoken for, the decision has been made for me and I can actually be present.

I'm at a point on my life where I'm kind of craving new experiences, I want to get out there. Going for a walk or staying home playing videogames isn't really what I'm looking for and the decision paralysis makes these hard to enjoy anyway.

Hi, as the title says, I'm looking for activities that will force me out of my head. I have hobbies, but even if my hands are busy, my brain can still wander. My specific issue is social anxiety. I play a few sports, but even in the middle of a tennis match, I still find myself thinking about what the people on the other court must be thinking about me. I find it very difficult to be engaged and present with what is directly in front of me and I was hoping for something that essentially forces me to engage.
