In need of a hobby

@Twentyoneepilots Well, first hi 🌸 Are you a good writer, drawer, or even like to write about your daily events ? Start with something you love or have a liking to it 🌸 I hope I helped somehow 💕 Have a nice day/night

@Twentyoneepilots what I do is expensive but totally worth it. If there is a martial arts studio around with nice instructors, I say try it out if they have a free/cheap trial program. I've been in Taekwondo for 2 1/2 years and I don't regret it. The instructors are awesome, I've made lots of friends, and it allows me to kick, punch and yell for a good 40 minutes :)

Hmm, this is a great question! It definitely varies from person to person, but for me I love skiing, listening to music, drawing, lots of things! Do you enjoy doing any of those? If so, that could help you find a great hobby to get into

@Emily619 yup I've never been skiing although I've always wanted to try those sort of things but I love listening to music and like drawing although it's one of the things I'm bad at haha gonna have to think of how to turn my interests into hobbies somehow I tried playing guitar once it didn't work out so well and ever since I was younger I've always wanted to play guitar but for some reason I just couldn't get into it once I actually got it which I feel so bad about but I'll see what I can do thank you :)

Hi there! That's one of those things that goes along with hobbies it seems. Sometimes you dream of doing ____ for a long time and then when you do finally get to try ______, it's not at all what you thought it would be. Or for you it doesn't like ... well, you know it's just "not your thing." Which is perfectly okay!!! Sometimes I think we feel like we should like something or like doing some certain activity because an older sibling did it (and enjoyed it) or our parents sort of force us into that activity.

But, while hobbies can be expensive (like scuba diving! or making stained glass art), other hobbies or fun activities can be much less expensive or even free! Therefore, I hope you are not too hard on yourself for not liking learning and playing the guitar as much as you thought you would. It sounds like you are rather disappointed. But after years of dreaming of it, I think I would be too! Anyway, sorry .... my point was that hobbies are hobbies: little (or not so little) fun activities that you can do alone or with others. It's something that you enjoy. It can be something you do and look up at the clock and all of a sudden, "What? It's 4:30pm already?" Hobbies are supposed to be fun and maybe even relaxing. So, dear Pilot, if you're not enjoying (insert hobby here), please ... allow yourself to set it aside and go try something else You will find something you like, I'm sure. Platy

P.S. I love to read. I love to pet and be with animals. I love watching movies (though I'm not sure if this is a hobby...). I like to knit - but I am not very good at it yet. I do NOT like cooking - some people love to cook and for them it is a hobby! Oh, I love ice skating :) Did I mention, I love to read? oh, I did. okay :) I like to play billiards. I like to swim! I do not like playing Yahtzee but I love playing most games - board games or card games. UNO is a favorite card game of my family. Okay, I'll stop now.

I might recommend picking up some kind of instrument like a guitar. You can learn from Youtube pretty well and even if it doesn't sound great, it'd still provide a good stress relief. It's structured enough that you can make goals, but it's also relaxing.

Something physical like yoga or another class could be an interesting alternative if you're interested in that, or a sport like running or swimming that you could pick up on your own could be a fun pasttime.

Arts and crafts are one of my favorite destressors. Personally, I like to knit, but other optionals like drawing or painting or woodworking might be what's right for you.

Ultimately, I'd recommend that you think about your interests. Almost any interest can become a hobby. For example, if you really like nature, maybe you want to try hiking or bird watching. Or maybe you might want to try gardening. I hope this helps!

@lightTortoise1929 it did! Thank you I'll start thinking more deeply into my interests but for now Im likely just going pick up my guitar again and try it out another time or do yoga and I would swim but it's winter and I can't really unless I swim in the snow❄️ Lol I'm also definitely open to possibly trying the other things you mentioned and more too though 👍👍 I just feel empty and I need to find things that give my life meaning

@Twentyoneepilots

Good luck! It's great that you are taking proactive steps to make your life more meaningful.

I love to Crochet. Some people find knitting easier than crochet but I can't get it. There is also the adult coloring books too. Get some good thin tip colored markers. But for the crocheting or the knitting there are tons of youtube videos available to teach you from basic to difficult. Left and right handed too.

i know exactly how you feel. I feellike i am not talented enough to do anything. But you do have agret taste in music! |-/ @Twentyoneepilots

@supportiveKami15 woo I'm not alone someone that understands. I've always hated getting asked what my hobby is then having to write stupid answers like listening to music or hanging out with friends, like that good and all but I can't always hangout with friends and just listening to music and watching YouTube videos gets boring after a while because I don't know what else to watch/listen to Lol 😅 but thanksssss☺️👉✌️

Kickboxing!

Hi all, I really need some hobby. I've taken a gap year and I'm bored of the daily routine. I really need to do something different. Help me?
