Try shit.

Go to a ski hill, rent a snowboard.

Go take a cooking class.

Go do a winetasting day.

Go jump out of an airplane strapped to another guy.

Go jump into a beach volleyball game.

Go join an archery class.

Go for a walk in the woods.

Go paint some shit.

Go to a track day.

Go learn about sushi/Japanese dining culture.

Go fish.

How do you know what you like if you don't try things you think you might like?

Passion is often a result of action, not a cause of it.

Anything that vaguely interests you - just try it. You’re probably gonna be shit at it when you start, but that means you’re able to enjoy the pleasure of becoming better at it. As you get better at it, you’ll enjoy it more.

What do you want to do? Just try a bunch of things.

-I like barbecue so I got a smoker and started smoking stuff

-I like fermented foods so I got some airlocks and jars and started fermenting stuff

-I wanted to learn how to golf so I Got some clubs and started learning how to golf

-I wanted an outdoor hobby so I got a rod and some lures and started fishing

-I was eating sushi a lot so I learned how to make rolls myself.

-I like watching movies so I started learning about movie making...cgi, storytelling, plot devices.

Just pick things you like and start learning about them. It's so easy. Start with "I like ----". Then go deep. Learn about the intricacies. Study it. Learn the why and the how.

Try martial arts, writing (start blogging), go to diffrent classes and you'll find something that you like.

I work as a graphic design and I also lift and play soccer.

What have you tried and where do you live. Need to know climate and proximity to good ideas

You don’t find a hobby worth while until you find a hobby worth while. Just because this sub says that you should like certain hobbies doesn’t mean that you have to. You could like putting model trains together in your basement. It doesn’t matter what you do. You don’t do a hobby for validation on the internet from TRP bro’s or for instahoes. You do it for you and your pleasure.
