posted this because I am looking for advice or opinions. I am in my early 20s, I am probably still considered young at this age? However my life has been absolutely boring. My life has revolved around work and studies. Any little free time I have is used to get additional sleep. Gradually I feel that I have became a absolutely boring person.
I actually can’t remember how did I pass my time when I had a lot of free time, games don’t really interests me anymore. I do enjoy hanging out with people alot and I try to communicate with others frequently. But more often than not, I have always been shot down or stood up when I asked for a meet up. I don’t think my conversation skills are an issue as I have been told that I was pretty easy to talk to and I have no issues spending hours chatting with people.
In all honesty, I have no clue what people do when they hang out either. It’s just hang out, chit chat, shopping/ window shopping for me. I don’t like the idea of clubbing as it’s a waste of money and the environment just doesn’t attracts me.
TLDR: What do people do in their free time and what do they do to have fun?
Here are what netizens think:
- I think the issue is not so much about hobbies but about work and studies taking over your life. If you’re knackered all the time then of course you have no time or energy for hobbies. I think being busy is fine but there has got to be an off ramp to a sustainable lifestyle. Perhaps graduate or you eventually change your job. That needs to be planned or you’ll be in this hole forever and get burnout. Once you have more time, then join hobby clubs and all that good stuff. I’m sure other pundits have good views.
- When i was in the earlier 20s, i played musical instruments, ride a bike islandwide, learn to cook and new friends revolves around your hobbies/interests.
- Buy a ticket and fly out. Spend 6 months staying out of your comfort zone and discover who you are
- You can: Volunteer, it’s a very fulfilling activity but to each his own. Find a cause that speaks to you. Take up a new sport and join a club. Join hobby groups. Many on fb. Search locally. Some organise meetings. Many other things you can do with friends of common interests, you can also meet new friends. Only factor is would you be interested to engage in such activities.
