Ahh,,,Wonderful. Another person with no motivation and no sense of responsibility.
A person that will never amount to anything, leave a trail of fatherless urchins and will demand goverment money and EBT cards to stay alive in his declining years. I can see it all in 35 years as he tells the census worker, "Gees, i just did my own thing and never thought i would need to save something for retirement years."
I understand what you're saying, but I am terrible at maths so a maths based job would make me uncomfortable and I wouldn't thrive in a maths heavy job. It is just trying to pick a job that would suit my abilities which is difficult.
You seem to have the mistaken impression that you are in a position to pick a job. You aren't - only people with education and skills and talent that are in demand are in a position to do so.
Maybe you are a talented actor, but no one will ever know unless you put a whole lot more effort into it then you seem prepared to do.
At this point, you need to think about any possible jobs you would be competent to do, and start looking. Even if you did decide to truly pursue an acting career, does the term "struggling actor" ring any bells? You'll still need to support yourself. Waiter and cab driver are a couple of the classic options, as they generally are flexible enough to attend auditions and acting classes. If you are physically strong, there are many options in terms of moving heavy things.
Even if you don't decide to pursue acting, nothing you've posted here makes it seem as if you have the qualifications for much beyond unskilled labor in any case.
I hate to say it, but don't listen to the rule that you must grow up.
For now, just take care of some basics:
One - Start investing in a 401k/Roth now, no matter how little it is. Small amounts now pay off big time later. This can stay with you till retirement. You'll make more benefits in a cubicle, but we covered that already.

LOL, you're talking about a 401k to someone who's broke, unemployed, and living at home with his parent.
that thread title sounds bad, doesn't it? it is! I literally have no idea of a career or anything I would like to study. I am 26 and i just can't think of a single job that i would enjoy, apart from one. I really enjoy acting i plan to pursue this, but i have been in a bit of depressive state and down and put my pursuit of acting on the back burner (i shouldn't do this!) because i just haven't been in the mood for anything recently. all i want to do is meet women and have sex, i have zero motivation for anything else.
i do occasionally meet good women that i want to spend more time with but because of my situation i avoid bringing them into my life and instead distance myself from them. i don't even feel happy with being promiscuous because it's got to a point where there is a huge void in my life, and i know what that is - it is direction! i have no direction and that's the problem right now, I'm thinking everything will fall into place but i am unmotivated to make the first steps to make this happen.
i am not very academic, although i would like to be, education just isn't my fortay, or at least sitting in a classroom and studying for tests is not my strong point. i am a creative person, someone who enjoys learning about other people and putting myself out there. i want to pursue acting because it gives me that buzz and acceptance. i am an insecure person by nature, i cannot avoid this. maybe i am making up for my insecurities in other ways i.e. sleeping with various women. it seems as though hooking up with women and socialising with them is my best strongest trait, apart from this i struggle.
i don't know what else to do, i just want to live a fulfilling life pursuing my passions and being content. at the moment i am not content with what i am doing, i want good women in my life, i want to be happy pursuing acting, i want to learn new things, gain new interests, meet interesting people, experience life to a greater extent, have a happy and prosperous career (in whatever that may be); these are the things i truly desire.
i would appreciate some advice in any way possible, because right now I'm at a crossroad in life, and i don't like the direction i am taking.
Good job. But remember that the women will betray you. But at least you are asking for advice.

And yes I agree with you. You are probably addicted to women because you are otherwise insecure.
Sell food stamps, marijuana, and counterfeit goods in order to purchase large quantities of scratch-off lottery tickets.
Wait outside in your car at malls on days when they're hosting job fairs and then scavenge the dumpsters afterwards for job applications that contain enough personal information for you to commit identity theft.
