hobbies & activities for lonely people/things to do by yourself?

Photography, it's great to do alone and the results are amazing if you nail the shot you have set up.

@systematic I'm an introvert, and I enjoy singing, playing the guitar and drawing. Those are the things I do while alone.

@mysticmagic

This sound like a great idea to do.

There are lots of interesting podcasts on a wide variety of topics as well, if that might interests you.

Picking up a new language or a craft that you could sell is a great way to start contacting new people and broadening your horizons through a mutual interest!

Video games, reading, writing stories, taking classes

When I was homeschooled (junior high-high school, did not get along well in a public school system at all) I ended up teaching myself photoshop and got really into art. Things like photography would get me out in nature in good weather and it's a bit of exercise too which is good. You gotta find things to get you out of the house for a bit. You'll go crazy always being in your house day in and day out.

I also really got into graphic design and web design. Taught myself some basic coding. This was when Myspace was really big and I started out designing those pages and worked my way up to pages from scratch for a real website. I ended up designing the menus for a restaurant I worked at a couple years later and if I had been 18, the guy who did the printing wanted to hire me as a designer.

I volunteered at a dog rescue as well. Mine was a pretty easy going one where you could just drop in (after a first initial visit of course to make sure you know what you're doing for basic walks), sign out a dog to take for a walk and you just had to stay in the area. Eventually earned enough good cred with them to be able to drive them to neighborhoods I enjoyed more and could also use as an opportunity for photography.

Even things like just taking your homeschooling to a coffee shop for the day can make it so much easier.

I try to connect to other people. People rudely informed me that I bother people to much. It make more lonelier. I at the point where I just isolated myself from everyone all the time.

Watching movies and TV shows. Listening to music, reading web tunes, and lately I’ve been watching a lot of movie recaps. The YouTube channel, mystery recapped is good. Most of his recaps are more interesting than the actual movies. Has a good sense of humor.

@mysticmagic I don’t like most people either. Some things I like doing alone are: drawing, reading, painting models, playing video games (Genshin Impact is great, along with Terraria, Minecraft, and others), musical instruments can be fun, watching shows, and don’t forget about webcomics for reading ( the Legend of Maxx is a hilarious Terraria themed one )
