You're not too old to learn an instrument. I know someone who is learning to play keyboard instruments who is in her 30's, and she is getting extremely good at it.
If it's stupid but it works, then it's not stupid* (*Or: You are stupid for losing to it, and gotta git gud)

If I was confident enough to practice in the only place I have, my ridiculously un-soundproof room in the middle of my house with 5 broken windows at the end of it, I'd learn to sing.

I honestly think you should also do that.
I'm embarrased by my past actions and even more ashamed of my present thoughts and future endeavors to clear my name.

Writing-I have no talent for it

Bullshit. Read a lot, write a TON, and you'll get better. EVERYONE started out writing shitty stories with grammar mistakes out the wazoo and a style that reads like a cat scratching on a blackboard, I guarantee you. Some people WILL seem to have a "way with words," but you don't even have to have a good style to write well. If you can write clearly and make sure how you write doesn't get in the way of the reader's enjoyment/understanding of the content, then you're already a half-decent writer.

i think its dumb to come up with a random hobby of yours.
he has to find his own stuff he likes, like reading, painting, watching movies/series or whatever the fuck there is.
try out a lot!

I could spend a whole day just thinking about starcraft, one piece and fantasy characters

"... I have to invest huge amounts of money in order to be competitive ..."
Must be inexpensive. Check.

"... I have an abundance of free time ..."
Must keep you busy. Check.

"... I could pick up a single thing and become very good at it ..."
Doesn't have to be easy or instant gratification. Check.

"... see no reason to do so given that it's such a common skill ..."
Must be something that people are surprised you can do, and usually incites either amazement or defensive jealousy in others when revealed. Check, check, check, and more check.

"... volunteering for a political campaign is out of the question ..."
Why did I quote this. Check?

"... I have a great ability with memorizing things and absorbing knowledge quickly ..."
Must make use of great ego skills with agile fluency. Check.


Well then, holy check do I maybe have a suggestion for you.

Asians like it and are crazy good at it, so it's a lot like Starcraft


Variety! Even though CFOP and Roux are pretty much the only main speed methods in popular use right now. Maybe ZZ, too.


Also, Roux is a very sexy method, especially the last step. Cube throwing is not a competition legal way of stopping the timer, just to be clear.


And finally, a more average speed solver (but still good). This is like mid masters vs the top korean server GMs above, showing a more reasonable goal to go for.



It's a hit or miss suggestion. Those who try it often do it for years and stay interested, but most scoff at it as a serious hobby. If it looks like fun, then I will post a large bundle of information and resources to get going on.

You really haven't explored many options. Off the top of my head

Learn a language
Learn math
Muay Thai/Boxing (or another combat sport you can do alone)
rubix cube
Magic
Hypnotism/Mentalism
Programming
Inline-skating/longboarding/skateboarding
Table Tennis (or another racket sport)
Chess
Go
Pick-up
Learn a unique instrument (I recommend a Guqin or some other zither instrument)
Cooking
Running
Fencing


There's so much to do! My problem is that I don't have enough time to dedicate to all my hobbies, not that there's not enough interesting hobbies to occupy my day.

I know the pain. Sometimes I just find myself refreshing tl/da/other internets for no reason.
I can play 10 ladders a day - thats 2h (or few dotas)
write a blog - 30 min
learn japanese - ~30 min
watch a series = ~1h
sleep for half a day
mindlessly click things on the internet for the rest of the time

Sometimes I can get into some game for few days, but I quickly lose interest in it. Or I start reading a book or watch series and never finish. I don't wanna go back to MMO. Being antisocial and lazy as fuck doesn't help.

So yeah... keep them options going
