I'm looking for a new hobby that can keep me occupied for a few hours and that I will not get tired of over a several year period. I feel like I have loads of time on my hands and I want to use it for something. I seem to become bored of most things quickly. For example, I am playing tennis for my school's team and it was great for the first 3 months. Now I am becoming quite bored of it.

Most of my hobbies I came by on accident, so searching for one is something I have never done before. Like I found Starcraft because my uncle was playing it the day I was over his house. Also I started learning piano because I have a piano at my house and I had a free class on my school schedule.

Maybe other hobbies I have/had can help someone point me in a direction.

Music- I play the piano and I used to play the clarinet. Piano interested me for several years but recently practicing has become boring.

Games- I really don't play many games anymore. I use to play all sorts of game with starcraft and diablo at the core. I have tried WoW and guild wars which were pretty boring.

Sports- I am playing tennis at the moment and played soccer for about 7 years. Soccer also bores me now.

-------------
edit: Another hobby I hav is watching movies. I use to watch japanese and korean movies and dramas alot, but rarely do nowadays.
-------------
So I am not asking what hobbies I can take up, but how can I find a hobby of my own?
How did you find your hobbies? Like how do those people on youtube find their hobbies? Yo-yoing and doing pen tricks. Did they randomly wake up one day and say, I am going to start whirling pens around and look kool.

O ya I am trying to look for another hobby because Starcraft is consuming all my time at the moment.

Well this is how I got started and this changed a lot of who I am and I know myself a lot more now and can express myself with this.

I first started out watching this video LONG time ago.


Knowing that was a Korean crew, I began my quest on bboying.
Got started on a website, learned the history of hip hop and bboying and here I am still today. Almost 2 years after and absolutely no thoughts of quitting - even having thoughts about quitting school and making this my life somehow.

At first, most people get started to... look cool or "get chicks" but those people along the way learn the history and meaning of the dance and start to get serious about it - they become not just a breakdancer - but a bboy.
I got started by watching that particular video and thinking to myself how eccentric their movement was, so I dug deeper and here I am today. It really changes you very positively and see things so much more clearly and in other ways you've never thought before.

I love music and dance with a passion now, more then anything because I just feel so happy when I do it and dance is #1 on my priority list now lol. Whenever I get the time to, I go - whether it'd take the consequence of skipping class or instead of going out with my usual friends (they understand though lol).

Give it a try
I don't consider this my "hobby" but more of a way of life now.

Sorry for the long story of how I found myself in life - but just a suggestion
Use it or lose it

i don't think there's a way to choose hobbies other than coming across it somehow or being suggested about it. you give it a try, you like it, you choose to spend more time with it. that's it. so if you're not looking for specific hobby recommendations until you hear something that sounds cool enough to make you want to try it, your other chance is to sit by yourself thinking what would interest you to spend some (probably a lot of) time with. there can't be general advice on this i think

Some advice, pick a hobby that has a tangible result, showing off your hobby is a great feeling.

How do you get started? I have been thinking of starting off with the tutorials provided by python, but idk if I even know enough to do them yet.

EDIT: @OP, the best advice I could give you is to leave yourself open for something to come along and inspire you. Read a book or watch videos on the internet and go out and try new things. That sounded a lot more sesame street than I wanted it to, but you get the point.

Just find some beginner tutorials. Anything like that should introduce you to all the necessary concepts (variables, functions, etc.) It may take you a little while to get the hang of it, but just start simple and keep at it and you'll get there

i might suggest boats. sailing is a good way to pick up rich chicks. although i'm not certain if that's a good thing.

for that matter, building model boats and sailing them around isn't actually a bad idea, either.

I like squash, you could try that. Or maybe like I dunno, warhammer or something.
