Truer word has never been said.

Do you truly have no idea or you already know all the usual things people would do and you are just not interested in any of them? What are the things you thought you could do but don't want to do?

I kinda have no idea but i tend to want to do things out of my range or hard nerdy things and ive very limited with tech, like i want to make a video game but i dont know how to code or what engine/framework to use, ive also wanted to make a movie but im limited on what i have and i feel like i suck at most stuff and i feel lost at the moment.

Those are pretty huge things, that actually cost a ton of money to do in the first place. Learning how to code can be fun, free, and can help you earn money down the line in hundreds of ways. After you have built up some skills you could tutor your friends for cash.

Figuring out the individual steps for your end goals is really the first step. If you want to make a movie, how will you earn the cash for the budget? Who will write it? Where will you rent the equipment and props, and hire actors? Then where will you show it, and advertise? Each of those things individually could be a place you focus your energy on learning.
