I've found myself more and more often getting bored. Just a lack of interest in doing anything at all. Things I used to enjoy (Legos, Coding, etc) just seem boring now. I don't really have any friends (sucks as an extravert), so I just find myself bored.


Sooooo this post is asking for hobby ideas (for a teen, mind you).

As a person with ADHD, my suggestion maybe try doing some chores? Driving attention to something efficient like chores could help.

Cooking/baking [​which may endear you to whichever member of your family onto whom these duties currently fall]

You might also check what sort of activities your school offers as this could suggest something asn may be a low[​er] stress way of meeting people…

Unfortunately, I’m homeschooled. Which is a gift and a curse at times.

Yeah, pros & cons to things…

Park district classes, maybe… [Not that I'm sure one still finds park district programs, but cheap to check.]

Another idea for finding an interesting activity is to read through the Boy Scout/Girl Scout merit badge lists. [​Not suggesting you join either or actually do a badge, but the list and the associated pamphlets may give you ideas of which you'd not have thought.]

I feel the same way. Been feeling a little depressed for a while now, not doing much of anything, even the things that I know I should like. Although, to help with your situation, some of my old hobbies are writing, drawing, reading, seeping, cooking, or just creating a little world that I can imagine, then writing about it then drawing it. I like creating fiction and stories, I'm even writing a book, although I stopped a few months ago. Let me know if any of this helps, I know that may not be anything typically "teenager like", but as a teenager myself, I fond these things enjoyable.

Thanks, that is helpful. I have been working on (slowly) this far too ambitious plan for a tv show, but it is a very fun creative project. Thanks again.
