Hey, you've woken up 14 years earlier than I did. Congrats on that.

Workout in whatever way you can. A proper workout would be the best, but really any kind of workout is better than none at all.

Best starter diet is to cut out soda (even the "0 callories") and only drink water. As for food, slightly reduce the quantity, while upping your physical activity. This should net you a loss of 9-10 kgs in the first month. Watch out for the yo-yo effect.

Study for your SAT, go to a decent college if you can, if not community college is better than nothing.

If you have a car try to find social events within driving distance. Mingle with people at first. If you go to concerts, ask girls to, for example, take your picture with your phone (have a cheap phone, just in case somebody runs away with it). Once you're 18 and go to college, go as wild as you can. I'd say avoid hard drugs, but if you can socially partake in weed do it.

Giving 0 fucks is very easy, you just stop giving them. The social anxiety is however a lot harder to deal with.

Sounds like you know what you need to do, which is good, so just start to make it happen. Work on building up small positive habits and start from there. Get free habit app to track them. Get a to-do list app and create repeating tasks. Break every goal down into its smallest parts and start chipping away at them

Get a manual labor job. Study hard to not have to work manual labor anymore, or at least get paid more for it.

Manual labor will suck while you're going through it, but it'll leave you feeling good (and tired) at the end of the day. You'll be less depressed, have more energy, and build a great body.

I went from manual labor to banker (long story), and when I inevitably get fired, I'm probably going back to manual labor.

Why so hard on yourself? At 16 the world is opening up to you. You don't need all the answers. Hell guys twice your age (myself included) don't have the answers.

What are your interests? What do you really enjoy doing? What are the things you like doing most?

You're pretty lucky, most people have nothing resembling a life purpose even into middle age. Everyone here is making some good suggestions, and you should definitely follow them.

What I say you should do, find something you're passionate about, and something that you're really good at. Pursue those, and always work on them. With all the changes you're going through right now, you SHOULD be confident. Explore other subcultures in your city, participate, meet new people with other lifestyles. You have all the freedom right now in the world so make use of it.

You should also get a sales job. Not any retail job, but one that pushes you. This will really help you gain confidence, and excel you in peoples skills, which will help you a lot down the road. You could also look into Nietzsche. He talks a lot about people in the transitional period you're in. All the best!
