I'm 18 and I'm not doing well right now. It's the holidays, but it's been 5 days since I last left my house. I'm addicted to porn, screens (especially screens), and music. Literally, those are the only things I do all day along with chores, cooking, doing the dishes... I feel very insecure compared to people my age, partly because I was held back a year in school, but also because I feel like I'm worse at everything.
Painting? There will always be someone better than me at it and more appreciated. Cooking? Same thing. Music? Don't even get me started.
For example, I'm planning to start ice hockey this year, it's the first time I'm doing a sport, but I know I'm going to be the worst one in the club because other kids started around age 6.
The people who used to make fun of me in high school, too I think that's what hurts me the most, I should have mentioned it first. Well, they're doing better than me. Some of them went to an engineering Polytech, others to medical school. The only ones who didn't succeed are the ones who took a literature track, but the rest... I'm planning to become a radiographer, it's not amazing, it's an average job, at least I feel that way compared to the others.
I’d love to become more muscular, athletic, intelligent, and happy, but I don't know how to do it, I don't know where to start. Can you help me? People told me to go out and go to a nightclub to clear my head, but I don't know if that's a good idea, I've never been to one before.

Don't go to night clubs, that's a good way to get yourself ruined young. Do calisthenics or some type of sport in-between ice hockey if you can.

I don't plan on drinking alcohol or doing drugs, I mostly want to try out a nightclub and see if I can meet people.
It could get me out of my dreary daily routine. Thanks for the sports advice, doesn't calisthenics require a big budget?

You'll be fine, radiography pays fine no?
I'm 30 and honestly you never know what life is made of, especially in your 20s. Forget your bullies, really, these people get their asses kicked by life because of their shitty personality.
Sports is good get you moving. I just think you're afraid to look like a loser around other people, which is stupid and holds you back. Genuinely everyone has their share of anxiety, and most importantly everyone start as a shitty beginner, especially in sports and arts. Once you're in a place with people more talented than you, just ask them how they did it. 99% of them where probably like you at first, and truly talented people rarely gatekeep knowledge.
Just remember that a retard in movement goes infinitely further than a genius at rest. Get into sports, drop the screens and retardmaxx for a while to see where it takes you.

>I’d love to become more muscular, athletic, intelligent, and happy
lets break it down
>muscular
go to /fit/ read the sticky
>athletic
this one isn't really fixable. you can work on your stamina and strength, you can do things to help your reaction time but nothing is going to improve it that much. don't worry about sports too much, by your late 20's all sports clubs are really competitive and not many people participate unless its silly little sports like paddleball or bowling.
>intelligent
look, you're not going to just magically add IQ points, but if you're depressed you've already got a leg up. its not about being the smartest guy in the room, trust me, i've been there, people don't like you for it. is about being the most knowledgeable, which shows effort. even then, if you're not knowledgeable in the right things women won't really like it. what you really want to be is witty, and thats an entirely different beast.
>happy
you have a penis. happiness is a bad thing for you unless its in the form of intercourse.

hope all this helps. if i could take my own advice id be in a better place right now but im an alcoholic with anger issues so all i do is pushups and i instantly felt better.

The biggest bad habit I see in your post is that youre outcome oriented instead of process oriented.

If you obsess and define Your existence on the existence of others and their performance and things you will never be satisfied in life with anything ever

You really need to see yourself more

You don't just exist as a reflection of other things.
