buy a bunch of gunpla
you will never need another hobby

eventually you will want to paint them and then you'll buy a whole airbrush station and shit
and then you can get into watching gundam after the fact, you don't need to give a shit about gundam other than thinking they look cool

Thanks for the suggestion!
But I'd rather avoid a hobby that costs me an unbelievable amount of money and take up a lot of space and be embarrassing if people visit my house

If you ask me, focusing in on a single hobby wont get you anywhere. I found that, personally, trying to learn hobbies to achieve a goal, or make something was something that pushed me further than "something to kill time with" or such. Granted, that's simply my experience, and you'll probably differ. （ ´,_ゝ`）

If you just want to make some stuff, Papercraft/origami is inexpensive (just needs a printer), not too hard, and can take up as much space as you like. There are torrents on 4/po/ if you want to give it a shot.

>rather than lots of different hobbies and interests that I go between, I want to find and settle on a single thing, and then hone it until I am an expert/master.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Why did you enter my thread, FUCK OFF !

I've always wanted to be good at calligraphy, instruments, and languages

Calligraphy(specifically Chinese/Kanji) is so satisfying to watch

plant growing

A noble endeavour.

I agree with the guy who said origami. You could also try bodybuilding, as unlike other hobbies it will attract girls instead of scaring them away.

if you don't get into anime girl kits, you don't need to be embarrassed about shit

you can instead point at the massive Perfect Grade Nu Gundam you eventually bought and proudly tell people, "I built this"

honestly, by that point, you probably will look into getting multiple 3d printers and thermoforming equipment (eg, draping softened plastic sheets over sculpted clay) and shit so you can make even bigger and more detailed models than anyone sells

by the end, you will start wondering just how difficult it would be to get permits to build a 1:1 Gundam statue
truly, it is a hobby worth pursuing (´人｀)

your cancer risk totally goes up due to the amount of industrial processing you are now exposing yourself to, but every good hobby does that ヽ(´∇`)ノ

>if you don't get into anime girl kits, you don't need to be embarrassed about shit
oi!

I love my anime girl kits, but there isn't any getting over the fact that it is embarrassing to display them to random people.

meanwhile, ordinary people are impressed when you show them the Gundam model you built and painted

your hobby should just be jerking off

perhaps its not about -exactly- a hobby.
lets put it this way, perhaps, rather than focusing on
"enjoying something to a point i can do it over & over"
i propose something a little bit different.
i give you an example.
i had been a devourer of linguistic novelties and creative features, the field is quite vast and you will always find weird interesting stuffs just laying there waiting to be picked up. the lurking, is, so to say, -fun-.
but. then so it's only natural that a certain point i would want to learn another language.
now here's the thing. learning a language, especially a "hard" one, now THIS, is not exactly all thoroughly fun, unlike the thing i said earlier.
it's a long, long ardous process, i know it'll be years.
and it demands me to use it so often to the point that someday i wish it to be feel natural.
and you need to keep reminding yourself of the vision you have of a GOAL you set up for yourself.
so you have to continue on.
and it gets even more based if the goal you set up has NO UTILITY VALUE.
you just do it even though the world needs nothing of it anyway.

'hobby' is "easy", but this kind of 'devotion'
is something you might want to consider.
because you are uncomfortable of "not having something to devote myself to"
pick something even though you don't feel like you really care about at all,
something insignicant,
then spend EVERY SINGLE DAY working on it, whether hard or small efforts matter not, it's just that it must be OFTEN
and for a LONG LONG TIME
and you'll feel like "this is what i'm about" just because it's something you do all the time
just for the heck of it. not because you nor world "need" it.

Yeah but what, what should the hobby be? I cannot come up with anything :/

My older brother has tens of thousands of hours in world of warcraft

it can be literally anything meaningless at all. imagine you just randomly imagine "i wanna collect 10 tin cans per day, either by my own purchase or litters" and then you set about to do it. its like a bit you commit to. not for any heavy reason.

but the key is you do it often (so you feel you're moving), and there's some faroff goal in the distance (so you get sense of progress), and you have no pressure at all (so you won't feel bogged by it).

it's partly why people play videogame, see.

maybe in your life you kinda like music for example. but just that, you just like it in lukewarm way.
you might want to try the game of exploring rym and try to "get" 3 strange hard-to-listen to music genres, per day.
it's your self, not me, i can't know what your thing will be.

just push yourself into unknown depths of something you are barely into, just for the heck of it.

Getting into something useless, doesn’t exactly sound satisfying.
I play video games as a hobby.
For something to improve on, I do programming specifically for a video game.
That’s my interest, simple really.

Anons tell me what do you all think about in your heads passively? What do all fantasize about? Something like a potential future, or fantasy story, a song?

Getting into a good hobby is kind of like starting a good book. You gotta make an effort at first to read, and then sooner or later, you'll find yourself swept up in it.
