Woodshop is pretty cool, i'd like to pick up carpentry and more basic forms of structure building. Having the skills and tools to build a garden shed would be neat. I don't have any money or "time" to focus on my hobbies but when I grow up, move out, and get a job, I'll start doing things i want to do. Interested in historical weapons and gardening mostly but would also like to gymcel and practice MMA.

Since you're interested in historical weapons, there are a few YouTube channels you might like, like Skallagrim, Scholagladiatoria, Shadiversity, Metatron, etc

I watch all of those guys except shadiversity because he's a bit of a nonce, along with lindybeige and forgotten weapons (since guns are also pretty cool).

My car is straight piped, can confirm it won't get you laid lolol

What do you drive btw? I used to have high gearhead hopes, but now I've given up and just play gran turismo

Amerifag + eurofag = dis is y ur incel

jdm might've gotten you a fast and furious roastie though

rotting.

i like animating, drawing and drinking energy drinks till a mini heart attack happens.

Do you have anything worth showing, the worth gauged by you of course.

yeah, but i dont wanna get a bad name, so im gonna keep incel acc/ main acc separate.

Programming sometimes, read books and play games.

However i feel nothing inside, i only do these things out of habit.

What do you read?

Programming is cool.

I mostly read fantasy books, biographies and some light novels.

Programming is only cool when you're doing a creative project, otherwise it's incredibly frustrating, especially debugging which usually has me rethinking my life.

Shut up and just do your job

Video gaming and reading. It takes me to a world not my own....😍. My escape.

It kinda seems like you might have clinical depression. Considered going to a therapist?

When I was alone and depressed backpacking helped me get through it. It’s a hobby where it’s perfectly normal to be alone, and it’s rare to see other people in some places. When solo you can hike at your own speed, you’re more likely to see wildlife, picking a campsite is easier, logistics are usually smoother, and everything is quieter.

I use videogames as a distraction to escape reality and to not think about suicide

What are you playing atm?

Dota 2

Wait - playing a MOBA prevents you from contemplating suicide?

only when I don't have retarded russian subhumans screaming over the voice comm

sure, it gives you a purpose

That's really cool you put $10 grand into your own car. I'm an idiot mechanically, so I'm seriously envious of people like you who know auto, welding, woodshop, metal, and such techs. I especially always thought woodshop was cool. Took an intro class in it once and found it was pretty challenging! We all have our strengths and weaknesses though. I suck as applied techs ... so I just voraciously read books on everything under the sun. But for whatever its worth: I think you have really awesome hobbies, dude. Keep it up!

I go around the Loch that I live beside and pretend that I'm a Viking because the Vikings were.present in the same waters during their monastery plunders.

Hobbies are bullshit. If you're Chad, even if your only hobby is fucking and smoking weed, girls will go after you.

So do it for you and dont worry about what a girl thinks about it. Have a hobby to enjoy life, not to impress people.

Trust me. I never got into any hobbies for the sake of attention. But hobbies can't replace a girl.

No, but they can take your mind off of it while you do them. The hobbies I enjoy, I enjoy because while Im doing them, nothing else is on my mind. Its a nice escape and depending on your hobby, they can improve you in different ways whether it be mental like learning music, physical like sports or exercise or even emotionally like volunteering and helping people.

And how will that help with getting a girlfriend?

It doesnt matter if it does or not. That's not why you should have a hobby. Your hobbies are about things YOU like. Not about making someone else like you.

Exactly. So it doesn't solve anything. And thus this whole post is bullshit.

Well, be ugly and hobby-less. I really dont give a shit.

I already have hobbies you retard. I don't have a girlfriend.

Fantastic.

I wonder why....

I don't. I know why. It's because I'm ugly.

Shut the fuck up unfunny idiot

everything comes back to "getting" a girl for you, doesn't it? Open your ears, 1. girlfriends are not objects or prizes to be "got" and 2. having a relationship won't magically make you happy, I promise.

Yes it does. Because that's what I'm missing. A girl. And having a girl will make me happy.

No, it won't man. I swear to you it won't. You think it will for a variety of reasons, but it really really wont. You need to learn to be happy with yourself, no matter what the outside world manifests as. Then, you can look for a person to share life with, because that is nice to do. But it is not a cure for your unhappiness.

I'm extremely happy with myself. What I'm not happy with is the fact that I don't have a girlfriend. And thus getting one will make me happy.

If you're already happy, being in a relationship (not "getting a girlfriend) can't "make you happy". Either you're happy now, or you aren't. And if you are, you don't need the relationship. If you're not, the relationship won't magically make you happy.

I'm happy otherwise. I'm only sad because I'm not in a relationship. That make more sense?

This is a contradiction. Either you're happy, or you're not. I understand what you're trying to say... that you're happy with everything about your life except the fact you're single, so that one aspect makes you unhappy. But I'm telling you, and I swear this is true, that is not the reason you're unhappy. You just think it is because it's ingrained into your belief system. Society tells you you're a "loser" if you're single, etc. But it's only true if you believe it. Even if everyone else believes it so it's true for them, it doesn't have to be true for you.

That is exactly the reason I'm unhappy. I'm literally telling you the reason. I could give a shit about what society tells me. It's not about that. It's the fact I feel lonely.

See and I'm telling you you're wrong. Happiness doesn't come from our circumstances, it comes from within. If you are unhappy, no change in your life will change that, not love from someone else, not money, nothing. I'm serious.

Bullshit. So you're telling me the guy who's sad because he's homeless and hungry just needs to cheer up and be happy? Circumstances definitely control happiness. You seem like a privileged asshole.

Circumstances definitely control happiness.

No, they don't. There are rich, famous people with beautiful partners who kill themselves, and there are homeless people and starving people in Africa who are happier than you or me.

 

I'm not saying that circumstances have no effect on happiness, but they are not the cause of having or lacking it. They can help one way or another, but true mindset comes from inside.

That's called ignorance.

What is? If circumstances = happiness, why does any man with a hot wife ever get depressed or commit suicide? I guarantee you there's homeless people who haven't always been homeless, who are still happier than you and me. What are they ignorant of? You're saying they're stupid for being happy, because you say the absolutely should be unhappy, because of their circumstances? See, what you think should and shouldn't be does not equal reality. The are happy, so it doesn't matter if you think they shouldn't be. These two groups of people's existence proves your "circumstances = happiness" theory wrong.

"just be happy bro". Please fuck off.

It's very easy to say someone is wrong. Much easier to say happiness should come from within. I'm not an incel and even I think this comment is a low-effort lecturing.

Fucking nonsense

I wish I were this simple-minded. It would make life so much easier.

You're either HAPPY (yeeee!)

Or you're UNHAPPY (oh no, saddd)

For most people the biological compulsion to form a relationship is too deep and too intrinsic that it will keep clawing at you until you do something about it (which is a catch-22 for some of us as no matter how hard we try, we cannot generate romantic interest). Eventually, complete deprivation in this fundamental area of biological needs, whittles away at your ability to even enjoy things the same as you did when you once had hope & dreamt that you'd one day be sharing your life and all of your passions with someone special.

A couple comments later you talk about celebs who kill themselves which is just more brainletism. Those are statistically rare cases. Every study ever conducted has found that the ostracized are unhappier on average, and that people who have frequent sex are the happiest.

Open your ears, 1. girlfriends are not objects or prizes to be "got"

You should have stopped replying there, this retard is some delusional sjw. There is no point arguing with normies, especially these types

I feel like the most rewarding hobbies that I have are the ones that other people don't have. They're the hobbies that set me apart and make me interesting, and they're also the things that people want to talk to me about.

Like, anyone can sit around and talk about video games and netflix. That's a boring conversation. People like to be fascinated and it takes an interesting subject matter to make that happen.

My favourite hobbies are the moment are knitting, stringmaking, reading about ancient history and DJing.

So, you're in the SCA? I learned how to make a lot of thread craft there.

I even learned how to shear a sheep, clean and rove the wool, dye and spin it. Then knit/crochet/embroider from the finished product.

SCA?

Nah man I'm not part of any organisation, I just started making cordage when I was hiking and camping and found it very meditative and calming and also quite useful - I always forget to have string in my pocket and normally find a use for it when I don't. From there I just went further and further down the rabbit hole of making cord. These days I make string like a smoker chews a pencil haha.

I've got three sheep and a set of shears and it's not going to be too long until I shear for the first time. Ngl it's a daunting prospect. Cleaning/roving/spinning is a lot of work but ultimately worthwhile imho. I love getting something at the end that I've taken from zero to hero.

SCA: Society for Creative Anachronism. They recreate all the fun parts of the middle ages and other historical points.

There is fighting in armor (with rattan weapons), some people even brew and wood craft. There are huge events that you can camp, too.

I love working on my car too, been fixing up the same old shitty cadillac since high school, and it's perfect there's always some stupid ass shit breaking I get to fix again.

I used to read about research on facial aesthetics. Used to workout and bike too.

Showering

Open headers? Nice! What car was it?

I’m a gymcel. But I genuinely enjoy working out. After staying out of the gym for 2 years due to depression and anxiety, I’ve been going regularly for the last month or so.

Are you a beginner? I think StrongLifts is a really good program for beginners because it’s simple, effective, and it teaches you how to do everything. For diet, look up Leangains.

I've learned to avoid fitness forums. Bodybuilding.com is really bad.

I got a lot out of woodworking for a while. So sad Techshop went away. I wished I had made more use of them. I would never have gotten my hands on that stuff. Welders, laser, 3d printers. F___!

http://www.techshop.ws/

That’s cool that you’re into crafting things. I took up woodworking just over a year ago myself, and it has been a slow learning process but a rewarding hobby.

I'm extremely happy with myself. What I'm not happy with is the fact that I don't have a girlfriend. And thus getting one will make me happy.

This is a contradiction. Either you're happy, or you're not. I understand what you're trying to say... that you're happy with everything about your life except the fact you're single, so that one aspect makes you unhappy.
