Let me give you an advise.
I'm a dedicated solo player, which many see as the most impossible thing to do in EvE.
That said, there is never a time i don't interact with other people, in one way or the other.
I don't run missions. At least not my own. For upping my sec status or just for fun,
i scan down missions and do them ... usually faster than the mission runners,
even if i do it in a cane.
There are times i do this, or i do "that", or whatever.
I've found it fun to wait for gankers to blow up, so i can pod them and collect their bounty.
I've found it fun to fit ECM and a warp disruptor on a Stiletto and wait for a -5 ganker to show up
so i can instalock him, point him, ECM him and deny him his kill ... and then blow his pod up.
Sometimes i just travel around and find stuff worth a few millions just lying around somewhere at a gate.
Or, which has to do with my luck lol, i suddenly talk to people who give me money "just so" or for a small duty.
I'm not trying to tell you how to play your game. In no way i would ever want to do that,
but as you're asking, i'm telling.
This game, what plenty of people don't seem to feel, gives you the opportunity to form and build a character.
Unlike in any other MMO, this actually has meaning ! In a player driven universe, you are the guy who makes
stuff happen and potentially has impact on the lives of others.
I realized that this game gives you the opportunity to just live here and do whatever you want.
Others dedicate themselves to a single purpose and then use alts for other purposes ...
... while i just "am" and do and skill for whatever i want to do.
The best part about my kind of mental state is, that i can never ever get bored.
In EvE, as in real life. Boredom is nothing i encounter, simply because i enjoy live as it is
and accept the opportunities that happen around me. Somebody who believes that there are none,
just happens to be in a state of mind where he doesn't recognize them.
Long story short:
If you don't know what to do, then give up thinking about what you COULD do ...
... and just do WHATEVER ! :)
It's like sitting at home, bored, unknowing of what to do next.
The best thing, in that case, is to just do something or ...
go out,
walk around and
let Life give you opportunities !
Open your mind and you'll see them,
try to find a goal (which narrows your mind) and they'll hide from you !
