I'm down and out, regretting that I didn't play any sports in high school, yet I have a great work ethic ( I won employee of the month).?

Update:

I'm 23 years old, and i find myself doing basketball drills sometimes and athlete workouts , and I realize I have a great work ethic and LOVE sports and nutrition and training, but I played no sports in high school and don't know how to play many. I played soccer for 8 years, but quit the second day in high school because I was scared. I now regret that, but the fact that I also never did anything in high school, no clubs, no dates, no gfs to the day. Now I'm down wondering what to do.

Update 2:

I can't help but see others who have played or are playing a high school sport. I also have no experience in anything, and while most people my age are doing things, I'm not really, just working at a boring job that will get me nowhere in the future. I guess I just need to vent a little bit. I feel like I'm not normal because normal people at least did one or two clubs/sports in high school or are good at something. I did zero, and have low confidence, and never had a gf, let alone kissed

    Just because you're out of highSchool doesn't mean you can't play sports.There's soccer leagues, and basketball leagues to get into. Maybe take up a martial art? Ppl start learning combat sports at all different ages. If your work ethic is all that, maybe fight competitively in time? Find something you have a deep drive and connection with. If you really feel like you need some more under your belt in life, maybe consider the military? Good luck man

    Why did you even down and out? You must proud about your self :).

    Confidence comes with practice. Also about GF, you don't need many GF or anything, you just need 1 that will be your wife in the future. So, there's no problem there :)..

    Just, be confidence. At least, what I know is girl like a man that confidence ( not over confidence though ).

    About sports, just join a club lol... You'll have fun there :D

    Enjoy your life, file doesn't need to be depressed. All in life is about trial and error. Always try to do your best, it's applied for trying to get GF too. Don't be afraid to be rejected, that's a lesson too :). And when you meet the one, you will be ready :D. Just prepare your self the best you can to meeting your love.

    And, don't forget to pray to God for meeting the right love :D

    My best advice for you is to try out for an NFL team this upcoming season.

    Just work hard and perform very well in practice every day. In addition, what you need to do during the next 5 months is eat healthy, exercise by doing weight lifting, and either jogging or going for a long run every day. If you do these things, you will get faster, stronger, and into better shape, which will greatly improve your chances of making it on an NFL team's roster next season.

    If you have friends around you can arranged a tradition like you guys play bball every Sunday or Saturday . You don't need to play sports in hs . It's not a requirement in order to be normal. Unless you want to go play in the nba . Just live your life , it's yours no one else.

    Come back when your great work ethic allows you to develop one of your run-on sentences into a question.

    Well at least you are employee of the month. That means you work good, which is good, so be happy.

    How about I send you a quarter so you can call someone who gives a crap?

    This is a place to ask questions, not whine incessantly about your life.
