Sorry for being mean about that but it's kind of my pet peeve. I even made a Life Advice thread about it. Which I then proceeded to dismiss the advice in because hypocrisy FTW. :v
No need to be sorry. It's not mean to point out some helpful criticism.
Nothing wrong with snarky banter between friends, right. pretty sure we're internet friendsI definitely appreciate people offering suggestions to help me out, and I probably don't imply that in most of my responses because I'm focusing purely on the pragmatism of answering "does this suggestion help or not". I mean, I assume that's why people would respond to me with suggestions, to help, so they would be primarily interested in whether or not their tips help or not, rather than some kind of emotional feedback or gratitude from me.
Not hobbies or new novelties or something. Novelty only keeps working for a while. Something legitimately different. Change the norm, alter your routine, rather than fitting new things into it.
I went from not doing much of anything for years on end homeschool to college. It was stressful and exhausting and almost entirely removed my free time, but it mostly broke me out of the rut I had found myself in.

probably definitely do need a change of pace, yeah. I'd like to change things up but it's just hard to find the energy to start. I'm tired almost all the time, either emotionally drained or physically drained.
I definitely have a to-do list of things to change in my life, like going out more, getting exercise, going to sleep earlier, etc. But it's tough to start any of that. I keep procrastinating. I'm sure this is why it's called "stuck in a rut".
