Here's a quote from carl Sagen:
if you wish to bake an apple pie, you must first invent the universe.
tough
but really,
“In the real world, very smart people fail and mediocre people rise. Part of what makes people fail or succeed are skills that have nothing to do with IQ. Also, the idea that intelligence can be gauged by an IQ test is erroneous.” ―Camille Paglia

from my experience,
you don't get motivated by watching inspirational videos, or stuff like that.
even though i literally just shared 2 quotes, but whatever.
you get motivated by ACTUALLY Doing it.
just cause you aren't motivated to do anything, doesn't mean you cant.
try doing something like learning to play guitar, eventually you will.

try going on youtube and see what people do,
learn from it.
I didn't learn lua from just sitting down, and saying to myself
"I want to learn to use Lua, but I don't know how to start I can't code anything"
I used sources like the wiki, youtube, free models, and the forum.
there are SO many sources that you could use,
look there, they can show you where to start.

Then why moap? if you can't bring yourself to do it, even though you may want to, maybe doing that one thing isn't right for you?

| i wanna do more than one thing, but all i do is fantasize about things all day and get nothing done, not even in school i just procrastinate all day and never do anything i barely passed this year and probably have 2 math classes. i cant even do up to 7th grade math because i never care or pay attention or have the energy to do anything so its not that. i barely passed school this year even though im in all advanced classes. |

All I can say is I empathize with you. I do my job when it comes to school so that I'm prepared/able to get into college and be successful, but when it comes to things I want to do when I don't have to do anything, I just never do those things even if I have the resources available to me.
This summer I was thinking about how much time I'd have to do something like get better at coding, become familiar with video-making software, or learn about Photoshop. But, here we are 2/3 through summer and I haven't done any of that.
Maybe it's just a lack of self-motivation one is born with, maybe it's laziness. I don't have an answer, but it isn't just you.

stop crying "omg i want to do this but i dont know where to start"
i wanted to do Parkour but i didn't know where to start, eventually, my friend taught me the most basic 2 vaults from which i just started getting better and learning new vaults from youtube, just find a youtube channel you find the nearest to your heart and watch what he does, you'll get more motivation from that and you can watch any tutorials, nowadays it's much easier to learn something than when there was no internet at all.

and also don't think people learn things instantly, it can take years to master something you like to do, but don't try to learn many things at once because you'll just fail and lack motivation, try to choose one thing that you like to do the most and then start learning it, watching yt videos and google tutorials

i used to draw alot :P
my paintings seemed dark, so i dumped away my drawings and never drew ever again
all i can think about is how happy my family would be if i never existed
mom should've abandoned me when i was a kid..

If your parents would be happy if they never had kids, then why did they have you?
stop primarily thinking negatively. that shortans your life span.

[Not joking] If you're feeling sad, and like you can not do anything, and need help, call your national suicide hotline, they will help. |

really? you happened to be the singular one to reach the egg, be born into the only known species even capable of having this problem in the first place, and you spend your time moping around with no motivation
jesus. it's easy, just sit down, get rid of all distractions except what you're trying to do. I suggest starting with writing something; once you get used to the idea of staying in one spot and writing without being told to by somebody, it's a lot easier to do similar things like homework and stuff
and that will branch out into more general stuff like "i'm going to start watching videos and taking lessons on playing the piano" or "i'm gonna catch up on all the math I missed by sleeping in class" or whatever
sometimes all it takes is to just stand still and think about what you want to do, and persist with that until you find a course of action that helps you learn to do it
