ik everyone's gonna claim they're "an introvert" or "have no one" but is anyone else here like completely isolated? Just looking for general ideas to do because I'm bored out of my mind

No way I can live in complete isolation. I have to shop for food every 2 months, get gas for my truck. There are things that break & work that has to be done on my farm all the time. I live alone on my farm with 2 dogs & 2 cats, lost my horse a few years ago. I farm sit & had fun with a friends sheep during lambing season. I go trail riding with a few friends & boating on the lake with others. There are many activities in our little town, when I first moved here, I went to many of the activities. I am involved with our church Bible studies. Our town library had a book group that read & discussed the book monthly. Sometimes I wish I had a little time to get boared. The wild animals come for food. I have raccoons, possums & deer. Never a dull momemt in my life. I enjoy people & I enjoy being alone though with my crazy Aussie dog, I am never alone. They don't call them "velcro dogs" for no reason. When I have time, I enjoy doing crafts & painting. Sometimes with groups, but mostly home alone

Boy howdy can I suggest solo hobbies. I have a ton I do.

Needlefelting
Knitting
Crochet
Coloring - I have some kid's coloring books and some more intricate meant for adults
Drawing or painting
Reading
Gardening - if you don't have a yard you can "garden" house plants
Scrabble booking
Beading/jewelry making

If something sounds interesting, but you don't know how to do it see what your library has on the subject or check out Youtube

I had lots of hobbies, back in the day.
After my accident damn afraid to use power tools or do electrical work( did for 30 years)

I dont have many hobbies, I used to go to coffee shops to learn how to meet and talk to people again. It was very hard early on!

I guess the best thing I did was get a service dog. Lots of work, but it really pays off. So for the last 12 years its me and my best friend!

Lost my last boy in October, been training with a new boy since March. I guess thats my only real hobby, I wouldnt call watching TV productive or a hobby?

Hope you can find something that works for you.

Thanks, I actually love gardening but due to family issues I unfortunately had to get rid of all of them, still pains me.
I believe I've tried nearly everything in the list so far, I just for some reason can't stick to one hobby anymore. I used to stay up days just to finish one project now I feel like doing it just to pass the time.

Thanks, sorry to hear about that. Hope he trains easy

I have a family and a job so my "me time" is sacred. My family is gracious enough to understand I need an hour or so a day to put in my earbuds and go running. It's good for the soul and my mental health. I feel like I'm a better person because of it. Not into running? I suggest a nice, quiet walk. It'll do you wonders. Good luck.

Thanks, I realised that walking kinda clears my head, the main issue is where there's less people around

**** Proenneke lived alone in the Alaskan Wilderness for almost 30 years. He built a beautiful cabin by hand and it is now owned by the National Park Service. I believe there is a documentary on YouTube.
