I have no sympathy for people who constantly bitch about their lives being boring and uninteresting. And, unfortunately, it's something I have to encounter all the time. So, you're life is dull and you don't have ambition to do anything? You know what my advice to you would be? Get the fuck out of your house. Get off your computer, your phone, get outside and do something. It doesn't even matter what you do, just do something. Go out and take a walk, sit under a tree and read a book, go people watch at a park. Anything that gets you outside. Don't fucking sit on your computer and bitch about how you have nothing to do. How you're so bored and life is just so uninteresting. Your little pity party is not helping your state of mind.
I know this because for years, that was my life. I didn't do anything. I didn't go anywhere. I holed myself up in my bedroom and was miserable. It's not a life you want to live. It wreaked havoc on my mental health. Then, I got real jobs that required me to interact with people, required me to get out and be active. I met people, I started dating, forging friendships. It's fine to withdraw and want to just be on your own once in a while, I've always been that way, as I'm an introvert and interaction with people takes a lot out of me. But, don't let that withdrawn behavior become your normal. If you find you lack ambition, you lack drive to do anything, you're just miserable with how things are going, just, get out. Get out into the world and do things. It can completely change your outlook. Get a job if you don't have one (and you can work), volenteer someplace. Just do something. I know what it's like to just be a shell of yourself, it's not something I would wish upon anyone. But, nothing can change if you don't take those steps to make it happen.
I'm not trying to pick on anyone, as I said, I've been there, so I know what it's like. But that's not a way to live. And, I find it seems to be really common with some people in my life, which I find infuriating. My life isn't exactly the most exciting thing ever, I go to work, I come home, I watch a lot of YouTube, and I see my partner every other weekend. But, it's still me doing something. I work a great job doing something I really enjoy. The weekends I'm with my partner, we do fun things together. If I get bored here and I'm on my own, I'll go to a movie or take a nice drive somewhere. I'm lucky enough to live in a place where I can go up to the mountains, or out to the beach if I really want to. Hell, I could go wander around the fun parts of Los Angeles if I was really up to making the drive. You just need to get out and do something. Once you start, it's easy to keep it up, and I swear, you'll start feeling so much better.
I'm just ranting a bit because I'm really getting sick of seeing people bitch and whine about how much their life sucks. Like, it doesn't have to. This isn't geared towards anyone online, though if you feel like you may be in such a situation, you can take my advice. But, I'm seeing it in some family members, and it bothers me. I'm seeing it in some real life friends. I can't sit and scream at these people like I want to, drill it into their silly heads, so, here is where I can scream it out to the void. Maybe, just maybe, someone will listen.

Poshmark is usually better for selling stuff at a higher price point, plus they have flat rate priority shipping on everything, have better customer service, and better seller protection, but they take a 20% cut in fees.
Mercari is basically a garage sale where people want everything for thrift store prices, the shipping is higher unless you're selling something super light which shoes are not, the customer service is next to nonexistent, and seller protection is a joke, but stuff moves faster there, and they take about a 15% cut.
Ebay and Depop are somewhere in between both.
It just depends on how fast you want to sell, and for how much. If you're not desperate to unload stuff in a hurry then Posh is a better bet. There are a ton of scammers on any of them who will try to say you sent them a box of rocks or nothing at all or the wrong thing so I'd recommend thoroughly recording any sale, and getting a receipt from the post office after shipping. There's a lot of money in reselling, but you have to cover your own ass because these apps do not care. You can always try your luck on all of them.

That is super helpful, thanks! Considering I'm not in any rush to get rid of things, I don't mind taking my time to find the right buyer. I suppose I'll try Poshmark first and see how that goes for me.
