How does a person not have hobbies? Are you sleeping 16 hours a day?

What are you doing when there isn't someone telling you what to do? Tv, Reddit, TikTok, whatever. Those are your hobbies. Now, are those hobbies making you happy? If not, you need to start a new hobby right away. If you're not sure where to start, your new hobby should be "finding a new hobby".

2012Crazymexican · 2022-01-25T02:06:34+00:00

get into some hobbies and things you like doing.

or

Just go for a walk at the grocery store that's a good start to get you to meet some girls.

You’re starting from zero here. Think about how you might like your life to look in a year. And maybe 5 years. Do something today to work towards that. Small steps over time compound.

It's probably because of your negative outlook on yourself and everything around you. You're a self fulfilling prophecy. It's easier for you to claim you're bad at everything so that you don't even have to try. You came here asking for advice and have yet to be open to any suggestions. Until you can actually try and change your attitude, nothing will ever change.

Are you out of shape? That is worth doing for your health. Start there.

Read this book called Higher Status by Jason Capital.

masterdragon4 · 2022-01-25T05:13:48+00:00

That's a hell of a pickup line ya got there... Seriously as someone who has been and is still there seek help for depression

crushlogic · 2022-01-25T06:13:42+00:00

Okay OP. You are asking for advice and reading over your responses, I have two pieces of advice: 1) grow up and 2) stop making excuses. Nothing happens overnight, and nothing happens in a vacuum except it sucks.

You desire change but you give up too easily to make that change happen. It’s easy to say stop giving up, but what if instead of giving up, you keep showing up? What if you had kept going rock climbing after those first few times? I bet you would know a hell of a lot more about rock climbing than you do now. And even if you sucked at it, other climbers would be like, “damn, OP isn’t great at this, but I see him every week without fail.”Maybe then, some kind climber would offer you some pointers about your holds or whateverthefuck climbers talk about.

You take care of relatives. That’s cool and commendable. There are other people like you who help others and need a social outlet just like you do. Start volunteering at a local food pantry or shelter to meet people who also know what it’s like to help others. To boot, helping others takes the focus off you for even a small amount of time. Again, if you keep showing up, people will start to recognize you. From there, all you have to say is “Hi, I’m OP. Nice to meet you.”

I’m not giving you license to be the guy that never goes away. But if you’re not great at social interactions, having crappy ones is the quickest way to learn what feels right and what feels wrong. You will get better with time and practice. But you have to show up to practice to get better. This goes for literally everything in life.

You’re 26. To people even slightly older than you, this is young AF. 36 year olds wish they had your youthful vitality. 46 year olds would kill for your ability to eat pizza without consequences. The list goes on. Stop wasting your precious youth making excuses. You have so much time, but it doesn’t last forever. Start now.

Get Better looking

JacobMoogberg69 · 2022-01-25T06:18:52+00:00

I mean if you can't be bothered to change your life why do you expect a bunch of randos on Reddit to care?

m2niles · 2022-01-25T07:04:04+00:00

What are you interested in then? What are your goals? What do you want from your life? What do you do for your livelihood? It’s difficult for me to help when you’ve given me literally nothing to work with besides that you have no like minded people around you currently.

Do you just eat, shit and sleep all day everyday? What do you do for fun?

sunkized · 2022-01-25T05:57:29+00:00

Have you tried meetup.com. I go hiking with a group I met on their and so far it's been great. Better than being in the house all the time

whirleymon · 2022-01-25T06:08:06+00:00

It sounds like you might be depressed, and should speak to a psychologist if you can

AirlineEasy · 2022-01-25T06:41:31+00:00

You are seriously depressed. You need to find a therapist.

PrinceofMcdonalds · 2022-01-25T06:52:08+00:00

Join a gym and go regularly.

pacg · 2022-01-25T06:57:57+00:00

I think I actually understand this. Fear of failure is a kind of purgatory. You’re definitely not in heaven. But you’re most certainly in a type of hell.

Ancient_Leader5572 · 2022-01-25T07:08:41+00:00

Do you like animals? If you feel like you can take care of a dog, get one. They’re great company and taking them on walks will get you outside where you can actually socialize. Go to dog parks. Talk with other owners. Most women loove cute dogs and (this is kind of depending on how populated your area is) will make it easier for them to approach you. Even if they’re not approaching you and just approaching your dog, it’s a pretty easy way of striking up a conversation bc you’d know at least one thing you can talk about that she’ll be interested in.

recyclablebanthas · 2022-01-25T07:12:01+00:00

I haven’t been on a date since 2014. I have zero friends or hobbies or really any interest in hobbies

Look this is a simple kind of formula here.

If you want to have dates, then you need a way to meet people.
Dating apps are all good and well but can be wildly unpredictable and should not be the primary source for anyone to meet anyone.
Seeing as how apps cannot really solve this problem, you need a way, in real life, to encounter people in a way that's comfortable, preferably for everyone involved, just to greese the wheels. (This shit can already be hard enough as it is, there's no reason to heighten the difficulty curve unless you're already reliable enough in your game to get laid on a regular basis.)

All of that having been said, the easiest way to meet people in a comfortable setting, on a regular basis, is through various clubs and groups that get together on a regular basis. These kind of groups are usually organized around something like a hobby, interest, or theme.

There are meet up groups and other kinds of groups organized around every sort of hobby imaginable. Some good ones I've seen include groups organized around board games, trail running, travelers hanging out together, and a whole slew of different dance communities.

The question becomes how stubborn towards change are we going to be and are we willing to try new things just for the hell of it?

Because at the end of the day, it's not really that hard to find some new interests to try out.

Or if you've decided that you absolutely don't want to change anything, then you can be satisfied with the same results you're getting now.

vonngh0st · 2022-01-25T07:26:03+00:00

I see you’re quite present here replying to all the comments. It’s hard doing stuff on our own coupled with the tons of recommendations. I think of there’s a community that really cares is martial arts. Find the closest one talk to the sensei have him/her be your mentor. Btw you ain’t old enough to say you’re old so cut that out. But join and learn an art form. Please. Get you a sensei. You’ve made it past your teens I’m sure you thought that was hard as well. Let the difficult things remind you…you’re alive and like video games we never give up because it gets a lil less difficult every time we come back. Don’t give up now Don’t break the disc yet…put it in rest mode and come back later. You’ve seen this before (gaming reference)

Groundbreaking_Cup95 · 2022-01-26T00:54:23+00:00

I’m pretty surprised you have no hobbies at all. Most people have at least 1 hobbit - even if they count daily exercise or petting their dog. I actually agree with you that “passive hobbies” aren’t real hobbies e.g. Facebook. It’s good that you’re trying to find healthier hobbies.

Though I can understand studying so much you don’t have hobbies, but fuck me that’s a hell of a sacrifice. If you’re going to completely sacrifice your youth for your future, I bloody hope you’ve got a good plan and ambitions that will set you up for life satisfaction.

Regarding hobbies, depends which city you live in. I live in Sydney which is a very sporty social city. There you can join apps which do social sport. Otherwise join social university societies. Join surfing and ski societies. Sport like the soccer and the afl clubs always attract social people. Basically any club or society that is known for being a social event, that will attract normal people. Rock climbing for some reason attracts “incels”. It’s such a fun sport but the people are fkn weird, it sucks. Music societies are the same, unless they are known for social networking.
