In this post, I'll show you how you can waste your young age, energy, and your entire life by following given points.

Many people will understand what I'm trying to say in this post. On the other hand, many people will not understand.

Some will agree, and some will disagree. Don't take this post negatively, take it in sarcasm.

You must have heard and read a lot about how you can make your life better at a young age, but today I'll show you how you can waste your young age, and I'm pretty sure many of you are already doing this.

Let's get started

1. Believe you are special

Think and believe that you're special. Your future will be extraordinary.

You'll have many cars, a big house, people will respect you and your success, and you'll have so much money that you can go on a world tour without worrying about money.

But to get all these things, you don't have to take any action today.

Why??

Because you are different and special, so you will get all of these things in the future via magic. Therefore, live in your imaginary world and not in today's reality.

Think that you're much more smart, intelligent, and mature compared to others around you.

Distance yourself from others just because they don't know how talented you're and they have no idea of how successful you'll be in the future.

Don't show them your strong self with your action and results. Just talk big and imagine.

Why?

Because you're special, don't take action today, there is always tomorrow for that right.

In your young age, where you are most energetic with less responsibility, just waste your time because you'll get whatever you want in the future all by itself.

2. Make yourself and others a fool

You must have heard that successful people are always busy. They take action even when they are feeling low. Without understanding the meaning of being busy, try to be as busy as you can.

Start reading a book, even if it's just acting while you're busy in your imagination or wasting your time on social media while working.

But whenever someone passes by, don't forget to fool them that you're busy, focused, and an action taker, and as soon as the person is gone, start wasting your time again.

At last, when your work time is over, fool yourself by saying, "I didn't move from my desk even for a bit, I was so freaking busy".

Show your friends and family member that you're very busy, and you cannot share your time with them, even though you are spending your time scrolling Facebook or Instagram.

3. Follow the wrong and trending career

This step is very important and popular. If you want to waste your entire life, then choose the wrong and trending career.

Why?

Because most people do this, if engineers, government employee, entrepreneur, businessman, YouTuber, Social Media Influencer and so on are the trending career these days and you already know someone who are into these careers and are very successful, you must take that career.

Without understanding yourself, please choose any of these careers.

Why?

Because this career can give you a lot of money, lavish life, security, and because you think others are happy being into these careers, so you'll be happy too without understanding your dreams or passion in life.

Ask yourself do you really want to do this or not?

What are you passionate about?

The career you feel right is really the right career for you? Or maybe you are attracted to the lavish life of influencers, and there is an entirely different story backstage, which might not be right for you.

Maybe you're an artist, but you choose a different career just because there isn't enough money in art and another career has more money.

You work even if you don't like working in that career, but you work just because it has more money and results.

So simply follow the career that made your role model and friend successful without thinking that you should not choose your career with others' influence.

4. Procrastinate a lot

Try to avoid thoughts that tell you to work, study or do any other productive work because you're feeling a little tired and lazy right now.

After all, you have an entire day, and you can finish that task later on.

Remember, without worrying, leave all your task and productive habits for your future self, which will have more energy and motivation compared to what you've right now.

Leave all your tasks as much as you can for a better version of yourself in the future because you don't have to do it right now, but instead save them for the future. Try to live as much as you can in the future and also procrastinate a lot.

Waste as much time as possible being in your comfort zone because how can someone waste their young energy without wasting time.

5. Wait for opportunities

Don't try to go out finding new opportunities and meet new people, but instead wait for the opportunities to come to your door or perhaps when the time is perfect.

Think that "if something is destined to happen, it will surely happen; otherwise will not happen even if desired," right!

One day you'll definitely find your passion or dream job even if you don't try, just wait for the right time.

The most important habit you need to follow is do not take any action, don't try to find solutions to any problem, and don't think about how can you achieve whatever you desire or what can be your next best action?

But wait for the perfect time and moment when you'll find opportunities automatically.

6. Isolate yourself

Try to spend most of your time in isolation because you didn't get this life to meet new people, explore new places and things.

But instead, there is only one meaning to life "life is tough."

People are not trustworthy, and because people don't betray you or they don't understand you. You need to measure them all on the same scale and isolate yourself.

You're not isolating yourself because you are working hours for your life goal, but you need to isolate yourself so you can play games for hours and compare your life with others on social media.

So keep yourself inside a cage and make your fears so big that due to isolation, you go into a sad or depressive state.

7. Focus on things you can't control

As much as possible, try to feel frustrated with your parents, friends, government, traffic, and so on.

You will need to believe that this world is really bad or you're living in the worst time in history.

You can neither change all the circumstances nor control them.

Get easily hurt by others' opinions of you. Think, why there are so many problems in this country?

Why people don't do what you want them to do?

Why things cannot be the way you want them to be?

Don't try to change your habits, and instead trying to change yourself and control yourself, worry about things that you cannot control.

Think that you're powerless and live a life full of frustration.

8. Do only comfortable things

Make your comfort zone your own master, and let your comfort zone decide what to do and what not to do.

If something is not comfortable, don't do it.

Try to avoid sacrifice, pain, and discomfort at all costs, and only do things that are easy and comfortable.

Don't try to learn new skills or practice something if you have extra time. Just be the way you are right now.

Isolate yourself and follow your bad habits and addictions because where do you get more fun and comfort than that?

You need to waste your dopamine, health, time, and energy in all your addictions and bad habits.

And think why you're not always motivated? Why you don't have energy? Why even at a young age, you feel like you're old? Why you cannot do anything even if you wanted to do a lot?

You need to ask such questions daily so that you can waste your young age.

You don't need to struggle and make your own story which you can proudly tell your future generation or make others remember you even after death.

These are a few ways on how you can waste your life and young age; make sure to follow them. Let me know if you have any other ways to waste time.
