Failing that you can always consider tasks which are not solely about yourself and require thinking about others; taking care of a pet, voluntary work, looking after a relative. Just something that will remind you that you're not all important and that there are others worse off and in need of assistance. I think a lot of peace comes through helping others. It's a very good distraction in the least.

I'm sorry, but that's not how my brain works. I can't pick something up that I know I won't be good at, because I know I won't be good at it. Am I clear or is that confusing?
I'm not good with other people any more. I used to be alright when I wasn't acting like a total weirdo but recently I've subconviously avoided other people. With full sincerity I'd like to help them but they are always judging me, which makes me steer away from them. The only people I get along well with were my close friends (even though they judge me) for reasons unknown to me, my cousins because they are (sorry) kind of dumb and by comparison think I'm smart and witty despite my obvious idiocy, and my little brother because he looks up to me (again, for unknown reasons).
