Ask HN: What should I do with my life?

I'm a full stack developer and I quit my last job about a year ago after having a personal crisis that I've now recovered from. I've traveled some the past year but have mostly sat around not doing much.

I have no real interests other than hanging with friends and family and socializing. I browse reddit all day due to a lack of other things I want to do. If I won the lottery I don't think my life would change at all.

How am I supposed to figure out what I want to do for a living when I have no interests? I've tried many things in my life but I find them boring after trying them for a while. I have all the time in the world and a decent amount of money and I'm under 30 and healthy. I feel like I'm throwing away my life.

I used to have an entrepreneurial spirit and worked on a startup for a bit before I had my crisis last year and had to stop. I feel like the passion for that is gone now because there's nothing I'm interested in and want to work on.

What's my first step supposed to be when there's nothing I really want to do?
