BF2S Forums How to enjoy oneself?

Try doing a bunch of different things until you find a hobby that suits you.

i build shit. 

Then again, I have the cabbage to afford tools and shit and also have a garage to work in.

Dive bar.

Get a girlfriend.

You can workout. Makes you look and feel better.
You can read a book and sharpen your mental fortitude.
You can take simple objects around your house apart and reconstruct them to learn how they work.
You can write. Either stories or your views on things.

Find what works best for you.

Find something you can do by yourself or with others.
eg for me, mountain-biking - If I have someone to ride with great, if I don't have someone to ride with great.

Or find some kind of club and get as involved as you want, and take it as seriously or not as you want.
eg for me I'm a shooting club treasurer, take some of the matches seriously, some just for fun - and its an excuse to travel around the country and world for competitions.

Some artistic outlet can be good, photography is the closest I get.

As others say, get a part time job, or volunteer for something worthwhile.

Build A Trebuchet then lay Siege to your neighbors until they give you something, you need something to demand.

Smoke weed. Everyday. All day. No, not really, just once a week or every two weeks. You won't care about enjoying yourself and you'll just enjoy yourself because of it

Nope

You live near Belvoir eh?

Hurricane, you sound like you've got the high school blues. Personally I hated HS and only went to hang out with friends... In HS you've got an extended network of people to interact with because they, just like you, had to be there. Well, after school was over a lot of people move on and my circle of friends shrunk.

IMO you're trying to fill the hole between HS and life with a wife and kids. Now's the time to party and sleep around. Find a fuck buddy. and for greater social interaction get into team sports and keep active year round.... make sure you go out for beer after wards.

Basically, HS is over and you will probably never get that same interaction with class mates again, unless you go do a professional degree at a smaller university, then you'll  be a shut in for three or four years with the same group of people. If you enjoy that, and want that experience again then work towards getting into a professional school like law, medicine, nursing etc.

PS a good hobby is brewing your own beer.

Another quick note. Don't be scared to get out of your comfort zone. I had to learn this when I became a Realtor. I was always sociable but I was reluctant to start a convo with a stranger or try unfamiliar places. Don't worry about people judging you.. most of the time they are worried about themselves. Try it, it gets easier each time. Soon you'll find that you aren't even thinking about it. That is how you are going to widen your circle of friends.

Don't wollow away your time on the Internet.

Learn an instrument.Its a hobby, but it can take you places. Its hard, but the sense of self fulfilment and satisfaction when you get good pays. Plus it opens up a whole new social world. Get in a band, travel with it, get women, go to strange parties, meet mad folks.

Get a woman. Sex is a great pass time.

Most important. Get into a routine. Its easy when your on a long holiday to slip into doing fuck all. At the end of the day you feel like shit because you wasted it. Set your alarm in the morning, get up, do shit. Go for a swim or walk first thing. Wakes you up, fills you with energy and gives you time to think about what to do with the day.

If all else fails........................get a job.
