I like to scrapbook to preserve my memories, goes along with my photography hobby. I save cards and random stuff to do it. I also like woodburning, gardening, flower pressing, scratch art, embroidery, disc golfing, hiking, camping, video games, cooking, dress up games, journaling, stamp collecting, shooting, and making art. Current art I am doing is dog paw prints into flowers also using yogurt caps for mixed media canvas art I have energy for my hobbies because they are fun not work not everything needs to be monetized to have value to your life. It also helps having natural creative talent I have created many successful memes. I have meme magic and the "it factor" so creating gives me energy

I am similar to you OP as I have tried many hobbies in the past but it feels like nothing truly sticks after a while. My latest endeavors have been trying to learn to code, and I'm a bit too low IQ for that it feels like and I get burnt from it quickly. I also have been drawing on-and-off for most of my life, and recently I managed to stick with it for a few months but I felt too exhausted to keep doing it after a certain point because I kept worrying about being stuck as a permabeg. One consistent thing I do is keep track of my dreams, and that is enjoyable and low-effort enough that I can maintain it forever and I like looking back and reading my old dreams, it feels very strange. >>2511 I wish I had your energy, how do you do it?

>>2513 i have also been trying to draw recently anon, it's very satisfying to make progress and improve and be able to draw more things, but it requires so much thinking that after doing it for a bit i collapsed into my bed from exhaustion i dont think these things are really iq based because i have extremely good spatial reasoning and fine motor skills but i have always struggled with visual creativity things, i feel like coding comes more naturally to me but i hate it why do you worry about being a permabeg? i also wish i had the other anon's energy but i dont even think he knows why he has it

>>2517 I'm worried mostly due to a bit too much looking at other people that had what I judged to be similar skills to mine and seeing that they had given up or had been stuck with the same skill level for years to no avail. I realize it's a trap to get caught in this loop of course but everything gets exhausting after a while and I just go back to passively consuming media as that's what's comfortable. What languages do you write code in anon? I'm curious to hear how you developed your skills, it's been something I've been meaning to commit myself to but of course I'm too tired most of the time.

>>2510 Is playing guitar a hobby? Because ive been doing that for ten years. I dont play in bands or anything but some people say im good enough too. Idk. Thats not why i started doing it.

>>2520 I remember slugbox's art style being glistening ass but having some potential to be cute like 15 years ago It is the exact same today, and part of me blames his marriage dissolving on this. Don't be him

>>2521 yah, its one of those things that takes a lot of effort and creativity if youre up for it like drawing >>2520 just look at it like this anon, you'll stop getting better when you're satisfied, and if you're satisfied youll be happy with your art as it is, so if you keep trying to improve youll win no matter what the only way youll stay a permabeg and regret your decisions is if you stop trying at all

>>2523 Well then anyways, i started playing guitar because it seemed cool and i kinda wanted to play riffs of so gs i knew. Then i just kept learning different riffs of songs i knew, then i learned songs, then i was comfortable enough with the guitar to stsrt coming up with stuff in my own. Now i can just jam by myself and make some cool riffs and play for like half an hour and have it sound pretty nice. I like music a lot, music that uses guitar, so im always kinda inspired or at least thinking about it.

>>2524 thats pretty cool anon, its nice that you can just manage to make stuff up, i gave up music a long time ago, i think its better for my hearing anyway

>>2510 My hobbies are sleeping, browsing 4chan, watching youtube, playing some vidya and masturbating.

Video games (browser game), drawing,read article,shitposting,clock watching l,eating

>>2540 >i think its better for my hearing anyway Thats nonsense anon. Guitar doest have to be loud. And they make ear plugs. Drummers use ear plugs when they play sometimes. If it was guitsr you gave up you should just have a cheap acoustic in your place that you can mess with whenever. Just having it available is half the battle. Thats why my Guitar is always right next to me, so i can pick it up on impulse

>>2565 Do you like playing browser games or is it because your pc sucks?

>>2568 I'm playing it since 22yrs ago, I play online games too using gtx970 for 10yrs anyway

>>2510 >do anons have hobbies? ones that aren't consooming at least I clean up broken glass along roadsides in my city, then polish it to make jewelry! >how do anons manage to do them when a lot of those types of hobbies take a tremendous amount of effort? Passion! Basically all my equipment besides my dremel is made from scrap! Old printer rotors and rods repurposed into a rock tumbler/ball grinder, homemade grit from sand and the likes. I like making something from trash!

Kombucha is a great NEET hobby. Komucha is a fermented tea which you make by feeding kombucha sweet tea. I am always trying new flavors and stuff and it's not hard because it is just pouring some acidic fermented tea into a bottle/vessel with sweet tea or fruit in it. it is NEET and hikki friendly because it is: So cheap with just tea and sugar. Feel too sad to bother today or this week or this month or 3? it's ok your scoby will be waiting for you. Recipe: 20 grams loose leaf or 10 tea bags per 3 liter and 50 grams of sugar a liter. The sugar gets eaten up so it isn't that sugary when you drink it. I also feed ravens. That is a cool hobby, they get to know you also. You get used to always having nuts with you for treats.
