>>822460maybe just tell your friends you want to get more into music and see how that goes, they'll probably recommend you stuff so that gives you an anchor for future conversation.
also, i understand that you don't have any hobbies you actively indulge in, but do you really not even have an INTEREST in anything? like some hobby or kind of media that you WANT to get into?
at 17 you're presumably about to graduate and possibly go to college, it's way easier in college to find people who are into any weird thing you like, be it obscure music, autistic video games, serious communist theory, whatever. you don't have to force yourself to play a role you don't want to play.
