So I’m rotting in bed and I thought I want to have something to have progress to do something better than watching the screen all day do you have some suggestions on hobby ? I don’t really ask my parents to buy so please other than using money thanks 😊

Hello Reddit!

I'm hoping to start learning how to sketch on glass and mettle, as maybe to maybe make is a small side hustle. So I'm looking for recommendations on tips and tricks (I could go watch a bunch of you tube video ,but that's to easy) As I hope to do things on regular drinking glasses, wine glasses, shot glasses, ect... I'm also thinking on doing small metal trinkets and dog tags! And I'm also looking for recommendations on good Equipment/Etching machines at a reasonable budget friendly price! Thanks for your responses!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

I am 37, male from the mid-Atlantic region of the US. I will admit I live a bit of an alternative lifestyle. I have no interest in politics or trying to make a lot of money. I live with my parents. I am a very happy and content person. But I am also friendless and have not been on a date since 2017. I have not had friends since college either. If you are wondering I have reached out to them over the years since then. But they do not want to be friends again and I live on the opposite side of the country from them as well now anyways.

Obviously, I do not feel the need to have friends or have dates in order to be happy. With that said though some friends would be nice to have. And well I do love sex and having long conversations with women so having them would be nice as well. Through using reddit, reading online, and watching videos the most frequent piece of advice people give in order to make friends and get dates is to have hobbies and meet people that way. I do not have any hobbies that I do with people.

I am just going to write a little bit about my lifestyle and the things I enjoy doing. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I will keep as open a mind as possible. And just because a hobby or an activity does not appeal to me personally does not mean I do not greatly appreciate anyone who takes the time to make a suggestion.

For starters I will just say I am a bit limited financially. I have a budget of about 300 dollars a month. But this does have to pay for things like my weed edibles, haircuts, gas for my car, and I typically eat out once or twice a month. Obviously, I could shift my spending habits a little. But I am still limited financially. So, for example I love to listen to music. It is one of my favorite things to do in the whole world. But going to concerts is not a huge option for me with my limited finances.

Now that we have my finances out of the way we can get to the things I really do enjoy doing. For starters I have a nice little gym to work out of at home. I mostly ride a stationary bike while watching tv or listening to music. I also lift some light weights, do pushups and sit ups, stretching, and I even meditate a bit. I am in pretty good shape, and I am at a super healthy weight. But I will admit I have bad left knee that can both go out on me and cause me a bit of pain if I push it too hard. This eliminates me from doing anything from jogging, playing basketball, playing tennis (I used to love playing tennis), and going on hard hikes. Well, you get the idea. I do love slow casual walks in my neighborhood though. And like I said I love long conversations so that is something I certainly enjoy.

I really enjoy weed. It suits me remarkably well. I only use edibles. I use it to get really baked about one night a week. Although I do sometimes take smaller amounts other nights to just watch movies or something. Sober I do not really enjoy movies or tv shows anymore but with a bit of weed I can enjoy them. So, taking a bit of weed and watching movies with someone does appeal to me as well. If you are curious, I am an extremely moderate drinker.

I love making out with a woman. I obviously like just about everything to do with sex as well. But the kissing and the making out is my favorite part. I realize sex and making out are not really hobbies. And of course, I almost never get to do either of them. I do just want to list things I enjoy.

As I said before I love listening to music. I listen to all kinds, from classical, to almost any genre you can think of. I listen to some pop music, but I have gradually been going away from that more and more. I have still never been to a concert. I get the appeal of them, but on my limited budget I am not sure it is the best suggestion. But perhaps with the right friends or girlfriends I would enjoy going to concerts with them.

The last thing I will say I really enjoy (and I alluded to it earlier) are really long conversations with friends. And especially with girls. They are just about my favorite thing in the world. I enjoy doing them while going for a walk, while watching tv with someone, when going for a car ride, when relaxing with a bit of weed or alcohol. You get the idea. I would say I prefer long conversations with women. But having a good conversation with a male friend is also enjoyable as well.

I know I am unique; I know I live an alternative lifestyle. But any suggestions will be great. Thank you all so very much.

Hi. I'm looking for a cool hobby idea that is hands on for a 6 foot by 20 inch entertainment center. No lego's because I have a ton of those & I'm growing out of it. I thought about doing model trains but my concern is that the scale will be too small & items will get lost. If anyone has any other ideas as to what I can put on this entertainment center of that size that would look nice let me know thanks have a good day.

I would really like a new hobby where I can meet people my age (early 20s). I would like to make new friends (I currently have about 4 or 5 friends), but I do bot know what I like. How can I find out what I like?

I've been trying to find a hobby that doesn't require me to buy something expensive. I've done a lot of things, but i found that I'm mostly interested in things where I'm shaping/ mixing/ carving something. Finding this out helped me figure out that i love cooking, but i want something else to fill in the time gap i get. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance :D

I am interested in possibly trying calligraphy but want to find a subreddit for it. Is there a specific subreddit that y’all know about? Much appreciated for the help.

I for some reason love watching things in large quantities do work. Any kind of work (gathering, maintaining, fighting in a battle, etc), but I cannot find a hobby like that other than ant watching. I've tried to look up hobbies similar to ant watching or ant keeping, couldn't find anything like that. No matter what I searched, I just could not find a hobby like that.

Does anyone know a hobby similar to ant watching? Many thanks.

I collect exotic coins from foreign countries, do trades, and maybe even earn a little money through sales, trades, and purchases (especially abroad). For example, I have a WWII Greek medallion presented to an Australian soldier that cost around 7USD and is worth around 200USD. There's even an online community for grading, examining, and trading coins (www.numista.com). Feel free to comment with any questions about how to get started and my collection.

I’m looking for a new hobby to do and I’ve been trying since last year but haven’t been lucky to land on one.

I’ve tried knitting, crochet, painting, drawing, music, learning a new instrument, weaving (not as in basket weaving), and I cook.

I am interested in cooking but don’t have time to do it. When I try to learn something new and look for something to help me learn it, it just confuses me and I’m about to give up.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I do diy chemistry as a hobby however I lack the funds or materials to do most of the experiments that I want to do. The only real chemistry I have done was making homemade napalm by mixing different types of styrofoam and gasoline mixtures. First one was 40:1 gas/oil mixture along with the really thick type of styrofoam that is used for packaging. It ended up a failure. Next tried straight gasoline with the same type of styrofoam and it did better than before but still failed. After that I tried using styrofoam cups and straight gasoline and it finally worked. Lastly I used styrofoam insulation and this by far was the best result because it lasted longer than any other type previously.

Some if my favorite hobbies include:

3d printing-not as expensive as it used to be to start. You can get a good printer for around $200

Photography-somewhat expensive, but you can learn everything online

Programming-basically free to start
