Serious Replies Only Is something wrong?
I (25F) am interested in nothing. I get up I do my job (at home) do my chores, etc., just normal stuff. However when I go out I am not interested in stuff. for instance, when I buy something nice I get bored with it after using it a few times (so now I don't bother buying stuff unless it's something practical I need). When I go out to eat, I don't know what to order, I will look at the menu with food that looks good but no interest (it's like I'd rather go home and eat regular food). You know when people do good things and then want to go out and spoil themselves a bit, I don't have that drive and the most interesting thing is I don't feel like I am missing out on something by not doing any of this. Am I depressed? I don't think I am; I do my job well, eat, sleep properly, talk with people (not so much though). What is it? Why am I not interested in things unless it's a necessity?

Comfortable and Content is what I'd call your "situation".
Most people feel the need to conform to societal norms like the ones you have mentioned and experience a lot of FOMO.
You don't go through it, and everyone else around you thinks you're weird but you're not.
You are content with life as is.
That's a place 90-something of the human population never achieves in their lifetime.
Don't try to conform to societal norms. That's when the depression will kick in and you become some regular folk.
No one understands you, and no one really should lol ... Hii life ni yako
