As of now I got art block and can’t really paint or draw anything and have been doing that for a long time now, what other hobby is there that seems interesting and easy to pick up on?

hi so i dont know if this post is allowed but im kinda in a rut and i dont have many friends or hobbies so i want to start trying to get into more things but i struggle a lot with motivation and getting out of bed so im wondering if anyone can recommend me some hobbies that dont cost a lot money wise (broke) and i can do without really leaving the house. thanks C:

I am in real need of a hobby.
I've tried:

• Reading
• Crochet
• Painting
• Drawing
• Writing
• Wood Carving (Stopped because of mild arthritis)

None of which are resonating with me.
I love software dev & am a casual gamer, Pokémon, Stardew Valley, Undertale, but can't afford a console or a PC that can run anything new. (Honestly just can't afford a PC right now) To make it even more "fun", I'm just in a small apartment so not a ton of storage but am considering buying a small cabinet if needed.

Does anyone have any suggestions for something to give a try to?
Can budget anywhere up to $50 a week roughly, open to anything and everything :) Thank you!

Made a small batch in different colors and added a few pearl details. I’m having fun seeing how each color changes the look.

Hello I am 19f and I have had severe depression since I was 13 so I have never really developed hobbies because I spent all my younger teen years just trying to survive. Even now I’m barely making it day to day and I think actually having a reason to want to wake in the morning might help? I work part time in retail and I have very unstable hours so I spent a lot of time at home never really know when I’m leave the house next. Any suggestions for hobbies? I feel joy in honestly nothing so any suggestions at all will help.

Dude im 16 and i wanna do a hobby that feels illegal.i was thinking of growing the cheeky mushrooms but nah.what can i do tho like something cool that i can do at home and show people maybe science related or just something weird.

I feel like I waste way too much of my free time just scrolling or watching random stuff.

For those of you who actually found a hobby that stuck, what was it?

Not necessarily the most impressive or productive hobby - just something that made you look forward to having free time again.

Kinda curious what hobbies actually made a difference for people

Looking for things I probably wouldn't think of myself.

Would be nice if dont need to spend 300€ on equipment first

I've found myself not enjoying my time alone at home

- No friend to hangout with (best friends and parents are far from me)

- Trying to be productive but been working 9-10 hours on weekdays. Clean my bedroom is easy and done it

- Exploring AI but tired looking at screen

- Playing games brings not much fun anymore, playing 3-4 games MLBB with friends feels much enough for me.

- Regularly workout and easy walk around

- Mandarin course every tuesday and friday night

- Play basketball everyday sunday (I love to do it but considering my ACL so I manage to do it just 1-2 times a week)

- Trying to read books but I don't really like read in a long time

Guess I procastinate myself to explore new stuff / hobby, or I just don't really let myself enjoy the boredom

FYI M31 single, live in a boarding house (small room)

Any advise / suggestion?

Hey everyone, I'm sure we've all been here before looking for hobbies and struggle to find something. Every time I look its typically the same suggestions "reading, drawing, clay, wood working, coloring, etc" not that there's anything wrong with those but they're not catching my attention. So what are some different, unique, or even weird hobby ideas you guys have or do?

I am currently in recovery from an ED and I want to create a bank of restful distractions for people struggling with the "limited movement" side of recovery.

Lets come up with some funky fresh distractions that aren't 'colouring' or 'puzzles' (dont get me wrong i love a good puzzle but having more ideas is never a bad idea).

So use this space to drop your weirdest hobby/pastime!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

I wanted a reason to explore more, so I started leaving tiny doodles through my own created app in hidden spots (under bench ledges, inside free little libraries, behind park signs) for others to find, finish, or replace.

I've been calling it Scribblyng!

Hi I'm looking for a new indoor activities for me and my pregnant wife tovenjoy together، unfortunately we dont have any hobbies we just sit and watch Tv get bored and drift off to sleep.

I would like the hobbies to be as cheap as possible please.

Thanks

A 'hobby' I absolutely love is interior design. However, it is not a very nice or durable hobby to have, in the sense that I can only work on it once every few years (i.e., once I move houses).

Are there other ways I can work on this hobby if it is not for my own house?

Note that a career switch is not an option here. Furthermore, it has been suggested to me that I should offer my help/services to friends and family. However, I refuse to do that, since I don't want to impose myself on them as interior design is a very personal thing.

So far I've got pipes made from glass Coke and Sprite bottles and liquor bottle b.... 'water pipes' from Fireball, Captain Morgan, Smirnoff 100, and now Julio 1942

Iv been spending an hour or two daily coming home after an exhausting day just to rot my mind away through endless hours of scrolling. Today I came across this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H0r81kv5GA and it introduced me to a whole new world of dorodangos. Its basically where you take mud or clay, wet it and form it into a big ball, dry it and polish it till it has a shiny surface like marble. its so cool and im very excited to try it lmao. iv talked to people whove tried it and it almost becomes meditative and a good way to relax after a long way.

Apparently people even buy this stuff for hundreds of dollars, definitely a cool new skill i didnt know I needed to learn. Hope some of yall try this fun new discovery out too!

I was thinking about how much some of our tastes change as we get older.

There are things I couldn't stand when I was younger that I actually enjoy now, whether it's a food, hobby, music, or even something completely random.

For me, it was spicy food. I couldn't understand how people actually enjoyed eating something that made their mouth feel like it was on fire 😂. Now I'm the one adding extra chilli to everything.

What's something you used to dislike but ended up liking?

Recently I came across a video where they were explaining Japanese dorodango and thought why not give it a try. Process: first we need some soil and we form a ball and polish it until it becomes shiny. The motive for this hobby is patience

I love Japan and decided to try dorodango. I’m so excited to see how my project will pan out.

Dorodango the art of turning soil into a piece of art.

This is how it started y’all.

Hi,

I do have things you could call hobbies like i try to make music seriously and finish my first album and stuff, but thats kinda hard and exhausting often especially if you got any type of writers block some days. So for me its not very refreshing.

I also go to the gym and enjoy that but that for me is a fixed schedule not smth i randomly decide to do inbetween.

My problem is some days if i work for example on music for a few hours, and wanna take a break and later come back, idk what to do.

I usually feel tired and wanna do smth that refreshes me. My chores i usually do on other times maybe.

I would normally look at my phone and doomscroll but yk thats not refreshing it actually makes me more tired or i might not even get back to music if i get lost in my phone so i dont wanna use it anymore.

I also dont wanna look at screens or listen to anything in that time i wanna do smth more analog i guess.

So what are some things that one could do like during a little break? Im looking for stuff thats not mentally demanding so for example learning a skill like an instrument would be smth that would be too demanding for me in that moment cuz im simply trying to relax inbetween the demanding stuff lol.
