It is lazy brain comfort zone talking. Always.
Action is always the answers.
Fake your passion til the brain accepts as reality.
The same way, we invent a crush, you force your brain to think a girl is special and she becomes.
So force it.
the great philosopher, Adam Carolla, said that: True growth only happens in you do something you don't feel like want it.
Like in school. You don't want to learn math, you force yourself to it and 200 years later you'll see that never forgot the multiplation table.

Option 1:
Improve your executive function. Tyler calls this "building up your cortex" but really that's a pop-neuroscience misnomer (lots of problems regarding causal relationships in that area of neuropsych).
How do you improve executive function? Start doing things you don't want to do. Wake up earlier. Make yourself a meal. Force yourself to read a book. Don't do these things arbitrarily, but do these things because some part of you knows that you should be doing it. You know that voice in your head that says "I should be in the gym right now"? Listen to it.
Pick up a skill, any skill. You're going to suck. You're probably not a prodigy. But that's okay, because sucking at something is the first step towards being awesome at something. Just put your work into whatever arbitrary skill you pick. When you see progress, you'll be blown away at what you're capable of. This will give you the momentum to move on to bigger and different things. Learning how to suck at something is the first part of learning how to be passionate about things.
Option 2:
Keep going like you're going, and eventually you'll be so disgusted at yourself that you'll be forced to change. Or die a pathetic loser who did nothing notable with his life..

Maybe you have passion is that you enjoy chilling out and doing nothing. That's fine. Don't let a mad world tell you that you gotta do this or do that.
You can tell a girl " I know I'm supposed to have hobbies and passions. Like I'm suppose to like baseball, watch football with guys, want to create a winning business, want to get a certain type of body, but I honestly am not passionate about any of them. I feel that i would be lying to myself if I pursued any of that stuff because it's just not me. I just like chilling out and watching TV and browsing the internet. It's relaxing and stress free. I'm the most happy that way."

Lack of life experience. Get into the world and experience many great and terrible things (or good and bad things but extreme experiences teach you more) for 3-5 years consistently then you will discover your passions, you will also create yourself a solid identity, a strong reality amongst many other things.

Be honest with yourself, what are you scared of in your life?
I bet there's probably a few things, think of them, feel them and write them down.....

Now; call yourself a little bitch for being such a little bitch and start working on it!

practice something you really really enjoy doing, no matter how dumb or silly it seems to anyone else, even if it's something you've always wanted to do. Fashion your life around that 1 thing for 30 days. If you are excited about it, keep going indefinitely. 10,000 hours later you'll be an expert and a passionate dude as well!!

I find that I just don't seem to get passionate about anything, and I think this hurts my game. I don't really know how to be passionate about something to be honest let alone convey that through conversation. Maybe I am kinda boring because of this? I'm not sure what to do.... I know there are other hobbies out there like guitar and cooking, but with guitar I don't feel like practicing alone in my room everyday and with cooking I am pretty much too lazy for that.
So how do you get passionate about something, and actually convey this in conversation? I know this seems kinda basic but I am struggling in this area... please help an un-passionate brotha out!
Thanks
