How to regain excitement and interest in things, sometimes got no appetite to eat, not sure what is wrong. People in their 20s have excitment in exploring new things like food and travel, but cant find the excitement and spark to enjoy my youth. In fact i feel like my youth is so unenjoyable.
Hello, I understand you’re feeling like you’re not experiencing the excitement of travel and food, and that’s okay! I personally enjoy staying in Singapore and going to the library to read to relieve my stress. Are there any hobbies that spark joy in you, such as an activity you enjoyed doing in the past? 
Im going for meetup app boardgames. Throw urself to things u wouldn’t usually do. Just keep signing up for stuff until something clicks
Dear @Mentalhealth60,
It is definitely valid to feel this way, especially when the world paints youth as a time that’s supposed to be bursting with freedom, joy, and discovery. But what people don’t always say is that your 20s can also feel incredibly isolating and directionless. There’s pressure to be thriving while you’re still figuring out who you are and what brings you peace. When you’re carrying the weight of expectations, self-doubt, and emotional fatigue, even the smallest joys can lose their flavor. That dullness (toward food, toward experiences) might not mean something is “wrong” with you. It might mean you’re tired, emotionally taxed, or just in a phase where your inner world is louder than the outer one.
What you’re feeling isn’t a failure to enjoy your youth. It’s a reflection of how much you’re feeling, thinking, and trying to make sense of right now. Sometimes, excitement doesn’t look like adventure or laughter. It’s that quiet flicker of curiosity that returns when you least expect it. You’re not behind or broken; you’re human, and your spark is still there, even if it’s just glowing faintly for now. Maybe instead of chasing excitement the way others define it, you could give yourself permission to rediscover it gently. This might be through comfort, small kindnesses to yourself, or even through the lens of your own unique way of seeing the world. You don’t have to rush. You’re allowed to find your youth in your own time, in your own way.

That sounds fun! I believe that when we engage in activities we will not normally do, we may find something we enjoy! Have fun!
hi @Mentalhealth60 ,
I would encourage you to try new things until you find something you enjoy, exactly like what @user1138 mentioned. Another thing about signing up for activities is to socialize with people. You will never know what people you will meet, or the opportunities that those new acquaintances will present you with. May be someone will re-spark your passion for things you used to enjoy
