In a nutshell, I don't do anything but click forlornly through youtube videos until it's time to either work, file through the halls of higher education, or sleep. I am boring. OH MY GOD. I have had no hobbies for three years. Let's not waste time with the details of my couch-potatodom.
Don't judge me man, we're all on the most depressingly titled website ever D:

The only thing I can think of is starting a tv series that isn't a sitcom. you mean mindless tv kills braincells what my creativity is dead oh ho ho crap. I tried talking to this guy at school. It was the first time I've ever started a conversation with someone out of class. It lasted three minutes. I literally had nothing to say. So I figure next time I talk to somebody, I could be like HEY I WATCH A SHOW in which stuff happens. Because right now it's like I WATCH BBT BAZINGA. And then we don't talk anymore because what else can you say D:
I kinda draw, but only kinda, so that doesn't count for much. Drawing's kind of a bad conversation starter, too :I

So what do you do? Unless you're like me, then... how do you live with the boring monotony that is life D: I tell jokes to people on the internet who never reply. *foreveralone*
Also if you have any ideas, nothing physically exerciseish. I have walked to the grocery store before. So I'm done.
I'm saying I'm lazy
 
Haha, you're funny. I like that. I have the same problem a lot of the time. All I do really is post stuff on forums, buy food, collect my medicines. Don't socialise much or go to any wild parties anymore (besides a club last weekend, first time in a while). I started a new job recently which is actually quite interesting so I make sure to bombard everyone I talk to with the details of that to make myself appear slightly more connected to the real world and more real persony but there's only so far I can spin that.

Just socialise online until you find people who are also interested in drawing. You could talk about pencils and stuff. Talk about having nothing to talk about, you've started a conversation about it here and look, here I am replying to you! Why not ask people you meet what they do? Maybe someone you ask will go white water rafting and if you manage to find out where, you could turn up and surprise him wearing a wetsuit and then he'd HAVE to be your friend. Just don't offer to install him free cable.

No one really has much to talk about, tbh. I find a lot of it is reminiscance and nostalgia, talking about crazy people you've met, why people do the silly things they do.

Hobbies will only provide small discussion really, unless you have thousands of themto keep yourself talking.
 
I don't want to say exactly what I do, but in general I'm a public servant who does legal advisory work. That's near enough, anyway it's about to change because I've been promoted and as a result will be getting back into the field within a few months. Will begin to feel validated again I hope. Hard to feel worthwhile behind a desk!

I guess I'm one of the luckier people. I may have a lonely kid inside of me, but to the external world I'm a fully functioning adult with a family, a good job, and acquaintances that don't vomit when I enter the room. If the lost boy took over for a while, I suspect neither family nor acquaintances would vomit, they would just leave.

Looks like I'm stuck playing Mister Nice Guy all my life.
 
Short version: nothing, long version: nothing.

I'm sad now :(

Haha pencils, why didn't I think of that? Clearly this is the key I've been missing to have some of the best conversations of my life. I'll let ya know if that works out, lol. And if not, I now know that indirect stalking is completely socially acceptable. Right thats what you said right ok thx

Honestly, it's good to hear someone else say that I basically have as much to say as the next person. Although I did just have a twenty minute conversation about the weather with some random person. There were a lot of pauses. So Idk if that's exactly 100% true, butohwell, it's still good to hear.

Thanks man, you made my day ^_^

What's the website you always go on? If by 'nothing' I can assume that you do one of the following: watch tv, surf the web, play video games, then you must have some kind of 'favourite'. Even if it's literally pr0nz all day.
You don't have to respond of course, I'm just generally curious about this subject. Except the pr0nz, I don't really care to know your favourite pr0nz thx no thx
 
I have not much to talk about with people either.. Most my hobbies (if you can call them that) are solitary things or they are hard to find other people who like them.. or if i can find some one who like them then, very unlikely they will like more than one that I also do so still nothing to talk about. Any way, they include:

Reading books, wandering around chat rooms, watching films, listening to the same music over and over again, watching videos of foxes.... looking at pictures of foxes.. Well, that is about it. (the last two are kind of jokes but not really)

I guess "reading books" "watching films" and music are common and general things most every one likes to do, but I seem to have bizarre taste in them so it is no help.

Hmmm yes, I can relate to that. The first thing to ask someone who says they like reading is either 'what kind of books do you like' or 'what is your favourite author.' But I've not really got an answer to either, since I like random books and I haven't read very many for the past 3 years. And yet I still like reading :rolleyes:
I'll ask you that question, though :) How bizarre is your taste in movies? Any examples? Aside from the foxes, unless you've got an example for that ;)
 
I do a variety of stuff but my problem these days is feeling so complicated, because I got too many little things to take care of while I stick with the main job I do best.
 
Gotta admit I like spending time on this forum because there are so many wonderful people. It's like coming home to another community. Of course I also like watching my favourite shows and movies and even play some dorky games. I don't usually go out much with friends.....so that's out. I guess I like to be a loner mostly. :)
 
Long Version:

I try to find excuses not to hate humanity in my spare time. It's...not a very fufilling line of work.

I used to totally spend time honing my AMBITION which was admittedly unknown..I don't really want to go into it because it ended up being some of the darkest years of my life thus far, but yeah. If humanity was friendly, I might of succeeded. If I was stronger, I might of succeeded also.

So instead on a day to day basis I'm currently stuck in a rut of living with my Dad, a choice made to get away from an otherwise uncaring mother..while my Dad doesn't make me scared to leave my room and I can actually wander the house without being confined to a room, eating meals at night to avoid everything etc, he's what you would call an opportunist - mainly, if someone else can do something for him, he'll ensure they do. Hence I'm a generic slave now, making him food, cooking him meals, fetching anything he needs, anything that can be done from within the house since I can't leave it without help, anyway. Lately I've been shifting a very large amount of furniture, on my own, between floors. I also dragged a sofa, on my own, through a hallway and into a tiny room, etc. When I'm not helping Dad, I'm sitting on my PC if the internet bill has been paid, or if it hasn't I'm generally using the built in wifi adaptor from my Xbox Slim to steal my neighbours internet, and play on Xbox Live with a really ****** connection that doesn't let me connect to games 80% of the time.

I also spend a lot of time wishing for the day I can finally move out, together with my girlfriend..it's close now, but as always, complications arise almost constantly and it's really taking its toll on my mental health. That's okay though, all the shreds left are bearable because I know that one day it'll come. I don't even wanna think about what will happen if it doesn't.


Short Version:

Failing at ******* life.
 
What do I "do"? Well...

1. Roller skating on Mondays because I need to improve my social skills, instead I skate around and socialise like everybody else does etc. but I secretly hate being asked so many questions by people when they do talk to me... I do really love roller skating though.
2. A number of websites including: ALL forum; an eating disorder forum; Tumblr.; Reddit.
3. Shopping, I often find myself subconsciously trying to fill emotional voids with material things.
4. Raves and raving because I ******* love it, on the same note I'll be attending go-go dancing classes sometime next week.
5. Chatting to online friends.
6. Obsessing over my weight - my ED/NOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified, I am bulimic with binge eating and anorexic tendencies or something) is a huge part of my life.
7. Sewing, customising and altering clothes.
8. Volunteer work 2 days a week.
9. Reading.
 
A lot of posters on this forum sound pretty young. If its any consolation, a lot of the worries you express sound borderline normal and will likely work themselves out, I reckon. You older people though ...
