No passion for anything

I feel like I have lost all passion for life. I quite like spending time on my own, having cosy days and nights in but i think there's something wrong when I secretly hope for it to be pissing down with rain on my days off so i have an excuse not to do anything.
I love being out and socialising but I sometimes feel like its such an effort and I'd rather be in snuggled in my bed. Its a constant battle between wanting to do something, anything, and wanting to be at home on my own.
Even with relationships. Its easier to say no and be able to stay free and doing my own thing than put a little bit of effort in and have a happier life. I see so many other people talkng about what theyre doing, where theyve been, how excited they are about things and I dont have any of that in my life. I want it but at the same time I feel too apathetic and lethargic to go and get it

I hope you feel better soon
It sounds like you're having a tough time at the moment. It's positive that you still feel like you do want to do something sometimes at least. Maybe looking at compromising a bit could help? Are you able to have one or two close friends over - just watching a film together or baking a cake (I'm terrible at baking...) could be a nice halfway point.
There are some self help techniques that might help - such as identifying warning signs and thinking of positive actions you can carry out to counter them. For instance, if I feel like I don't want to talk to people, I might turn on the radio and listen to a chat-show or music and just listen instead. There's a bit more information about this in this article (the bit I think is most relevant is the section under "Try not to be too hard on yourself").
