27 and realized I don’t really have hobbies or a social life. Where do I start?
I’m 27 and I’ve recently realized I’m kind of boring lol. I don’t mean that in a depressing or self-hating way, I’m actually pretty content with my life. But I basically work, go to school, sleep, watch TV and repeat.
I’ve always been really introverted and never had much of a social life growing up, so I feel like I never really developed hobbies or figured out what I actually enjoy doing. I don’t really have friends as an adult either, which honestly can get lonely even though I’m someone who likes being alone most of the time.
I also feel like I haven’t really done much for 27. I’ve barely traveled, never really gone out, don’t have much dating experience, etc. I’m not trying to completely change my personality or suddenly become super outgoing. I just don’t want to wake up at 35 and realize I spent the last decade working and sitting at home lol.
The problem is I genuinely don’t know where to start. When people say “find a hobby,” I’m like okay… but how? 😂 I don’t already have some hidden passion for hiking or pottery waiting to be discovered.
Has anyone else been like this in their late 20s and actually built more of a life for themselves? What did you start doing? How did you make friends? How did you figure out what you actually enjoyed?
Also open to hobby suggestions because apparently I need some lol.
