How to enjoy the little things more?

I have an anxiety disorder and am really stressed at the moment so I’m not sure if that’s part of the reason

I just find myself never feeling settled and happy at the moment. I am 25. For example if me and DP go out one night we’ll come home early because we’re realising we don’t want to spend a whole night cramped in a bar pissing away money on overpriced alcohol. Then we have just as good a night listening to music and dancing/being silly in the front room. Fair enough, but I feel boring - then if we spend a day going on a walk and lying on the sofa watching our shows, I then also feel like I’m boring!!!
I just find myself never being satisfied or always feeling pressure to be doing more fun things. I always see people I know online always out and about, and we do have plans like that sometimes but yeah.

What do I do??

Do the things you enjoy and make you happy, and stop worrying about what you ‘should’ be doing. We are all different, thank god, and it’s a sign of increasing maturity that you do the things which please you and stop caring what others think.

I think part of it is confidence that comes with age as well. I remember feeling similar on my 20s about all of the things I 'should' be doing. That in reality I didn't enjoy. Or where I 'should be' in my life.

I'm 42 now and seen all of the cool people who had their shit together on social media in their 20s now having a pretty shit time of it.
