Last year, out of nowhere I got this impulsion to deal with my addictions, gaming and watching sports. Quitting gaming was hard but I was able to do it. Quitting watching sports was way easier.

Now with two big time killers out of my way, everything in my life has become boring. Entire New Year day was boring. Now I’m literally dreading getting free time. I dread my time at work and now dreading it in my free time too. Makes me think I got myself into an awful situation. I don’t use Instagram or tiktok, never did. In this time period where I have quit these both addictions, people have asked what the heck do I do in my free time and I don’t have any answer besides “I watch YouTube haha”.

I really need something fun to do that I enjoy. I mostly stay home and don’t go outside home except for work, so please recommend something inside my comfort zone. I know, I should go outside to places for fun but that’s for another time when I feel motivated to try something out of comfort zone. Thanks.

Edit: Thank you all for taking your time and writing me so many things. Some of the things are ones which I always wanted to do and some of the things which are very new to me. Will try bunch of them and see how it goes 👍

    Not in your comfort zone, but this is something that you can do on your own at least. Try riding a bike, if you’re able to do so. I started a couple summers ago and I really enjoy it. The changes in how far, fast, long, I could ride became a big motivator after a couple of months. When it’s hot, I like it because I make my own wind so I don’t feel so hot. I got some candy to take with me that I only eat on bike rides, and I found a few places that I could ride to to get some ice cream or other treats. If you do decide to give it a go, I would suggest looking around for a used mountain bike to begin with, nothing special, just something that is mechanically sound and easy to ride.
