People are expected to be self-motivated but... I, somehow, just can't. I don't know if it's because I'm tired of what's around me (which I kinda am) or something else. That's just the way I feel.

I'm working on my thesis but I just lost the motivation to continue. And I feel blocked by my current job, I like it but the environment is kinda awful. I just want to stay in bed all day. I do feel like doing things, but just can't take the first step. How can I change this? Anyone has felt the same?

>>1 many people feel this way, you are not alone. You're just stuck in a rut, and there are ways to fix it. Laying in bed is the worst thing you could possibly do. You need to DO something. Go out and learn new things, find new hobbies, experiment! (Just remember to be safe)
To change your life you first need to change your mindset. Doing things that you love will help you, it's a big world so change your perspective and you'll definitely find something :3

Laying in bed might not be the worst thing, that is if you are pondering life. I sometimes do that, but writing is a lot better for me. Whenever I feel like I need to find out more about myself, or life, I tend to write. I wrote a lot to get to the bottom of some things, but that required a lot of time.

Everyone is different and the main motivation I tend to have is when I meet somebody that I want to be with.

Maybe try meditating, since that helps in some cases as well. Finding motivation is a long process, at least in my case it was. I didn't have the motive to continue school, but I'm back at it.

Just keep your chin up and keep trying, for if you don't try nothing will happen. One quote from an anime, "If you just wait for life to happen you'll die."

Sounds like what you're dealing with is depression. I have a similar issue. Unfortunately I'm not sure of an actual solution. Though you could try some antidepressants. I used to take them as a kid but I don't remember how they effected me. And the effect on you might be different since I assume you are an adult or a teen at the least.

I understand what you are going through, I just "rose from the dead". Remember that everyone can intentionally make a change.
I was just finished with my depression phase. My academics got fucked up, my family treated me like a crazy person, my girlfriend and I broke up, and the people who I used to live with were such pricks. This loneliness totally stopped my productivity. I was a total bum. I was a hikikomori. Time left me behind.
Have you watched LOST? I spent my bum days watching the whole series. Jack Shephard told a story about letting fear kick in. That's what I did. I gave myself time to be miserable then I promised not be lonely, depressed, and unproductive after my set time.
A good mindset does help a lot. Having a growth mindset (google for definition) can give you a better attitude for your activities.
I also talked to my old, trusted friends. Your true friends will get mad at you if you don't tell them your deep problems. That experience helped my realize what my problems were.
Now, I'm trying to clean up the mess I have caused and, little by little, I'm doing things I enjoy. Well, I'm still planning them, dreaming about my good future. I'm thinking of ways how to earn money to buy stuff for my room, a bass guitar, an electronic drum kit.
And after getting my shit together, I set new goals.

If you have the option, you may consider changing your life "trajectory", point it towards something you will enjoy more.

"Rest if you must, but don't quit"

My life is really similar to that except I see it more as that I'm just a really apathetic person rather that someone who doesn't get motivated. I finished school and didn't know what to do with my life so I took the year off to work.

I am what I call a "deep thinker" and I want to see the world clearly and honestly. The way I see it is that I don't know what job to choose from because they are all too unnatural and stray too far away from where my life is meant to go. My future is really important to me so I don't want to do something that's really boring and pointless but rather something that might help me figure out why we are here and where we will go. There's no point getting rich or being successful because it won't affect us in the next existence or life and that's probably more important and significant than this one.

Don't force yourself to do something that's unnatural. If what you are doing isn't what you really want to do then don't do it. If you feel like your options don't give you what you really want or need then that's fine. You will either find it or life just isn't fair at all. Don't be too busy and think a lot about things.

I don't know if that was helpful (or even relevant) and might just be living off in my own world but I hope I helped.
