the thing you seem to miss imo is calming down, you're doing incredible OP ;)

you can join a team sport to have bros if necessary

Don’t get caught in the cynicism about college. If you’re a smart kid, go to college, focus on career development opportunities (internships, etc) and you’ll graduate with a good paying job.

Play a sport man. It’s fun

broskis are a vital part in growing up, good job nonetheless

Hey man you sound a lot like me when I was your age. Already having the discipline and self-awareness is a great place to be. At your age the best thing to do is focus on inceasing your confidence. For me the best thing that helped with that was getting a job, joining a public speaking class, and cutting out porn. Getting a car will lead to meeting sooo many more people so focus on that.

Forcing yourself to go to social events and meeting people is an amazing skill to have. Basically seek awkward situations and learn to make mistakes in social settings. Soon you won't even care what people think. I also wish I had found the book How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie earlier. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is a great book too. Highly recommend Chrisma on Command on youtube too.

-I cut down on video games for lifting dumbbells, running and pushups; is this enough for the time being?

Learn to fight

I have a 4.1 GPA but feel like college is a debt cycle, I'm looking at going for physical theropy, is this a good idea?

Do what gets you into flow and you don't suck at. Get scholarships and go to state school to avoid too much debt. Work part time. Do STEM or construction

Is there anything I am missing? Anything I should be doing that will fuck me over if I don't? I'm paranoid about this.

Learn self-reliance. Learn what healthy eating is. How to shop around for food. Cook delicious shit for yourself. Clean up after yourself. FIx your own car. Basic plumbing and electrical

Definitely go to college. You never have too much swag to not go to college. Study physiotherapy, really good money.

do STEM

Eat healthy if you don't already. Find out what is healthy. Hint: it's not vegan, high carb or snacks until late in the evening.

Consider orthotropics.

Keep a journal (worddoc). You can sporadically mention any stats that interest you (lifting, body weight, ...) bur more importantly, write short notes whenever you feel like it (summaries of the ideas popping up in your head while reading books or while just daydreaming, etc.). You'll keep track of some things which -you never know- future you might be interested in, and you'll train yourself to be aware of ideas you've had, and you'll formulate ideas.

No need to write daily. Some weeks I write 10 pages prose, other weeks I don't touch it.

No need to ever read the journal again either. I began 5 years ago and have only cursively reread parts of it, recently.

I'm looking at going for physical theropy, is this a good idea?

No. It doesn't pay very much.

Think about joining a branch of the military. It will give you te to mature, learn some discipline and they have college programs. You can attend community college while on active duty. You can do some traveling and meet good people.

Physical therapy pays well my nurse friend is married to a guy with a Doctorate in physical therapy he’s shredded and too high value for her to cheat
