Help with EPQ please!

As an indecisive person the epq really targets my weak points. Its been 5 weeks and i still havent managed to pick a topic yet. Everyone seems to be doing it on what they plan to do after college ends but i do not know what i want to do yet. I thought it could be anything i just felt fascinated about and wanted to research. Everytime I ask someone for help they always ask well what do you wanna do in the future :frown:

I have come up with a few ideas and just need help picking one. They are:
social anxiety
connection between mental illness and creativity
cultural significance of anime
rising influence of kdramas
any help is appreciated
also does my epq really need to be related to what i want to do in the future

Your EPQ does not have to be about what you want to do in the future, universities will still appreciate an EPQ because it teaches you vital research skills needed for uni. I think the main thing you need to consider is whether any of those topics overlap with your A-level courses' specifications (especially if you do psychology). I hope this helps, and please feel free to ask me more questions if you need to!

I really appreciate the reply. I don't do a level psychology so I think that's a good thing. Which of the topics do you find to be the best?

I don't know which topic would be best because I know nothing about any of those topics - I would suggest looking for literature about all of those and see where that leads you - it will be easier if there is more literature to choose from (but not so much that it is very overwhelming).
