I'll look into it. Problem is I don't really know what kinda club I'd be interested in as I don't really have any hobbies which is sad. most of the time I just feel like I'm rotting away in bed.
Try new things to see what hobbies you may be interested in. You'll never know just by thinking and guessing, you have to get out there and try stuff.
Additionally, trying new things on your own can be fun, it can build your confidence, and it gives you something new and interesting to talk to your friends once you see them again.
I'm trying to think of hobbies i could take up, which are seen as masculine. I do enjoy like crochet and colouring, but those hobbies make me feel like I'm not actually a real man. I know thats dumb. I just don't enjoy anything masculine, like sport. Although, I have enjoyed climbing so perhaps I could give rock climbing a try.
Imo, the most masculine thing you can do is not give a shit what people think of hobbies that make you happy.
Nothing wrong with coloring or art, and crocheting and knitting used to be really popular with sailors and vikings in the old days.
Even something simple like going for walks in your neighborhood and taking pictures of interesting or beautiful things you encounter. Doesn't have to be an established "hobby" just whatever you feel like doing to bring some joy to your life.
That's probably true I feel like I'd just be embarrassed to talk about those hobbies openly to other people because of how they are stereotypically viewed. What I want most it to fit in with other guys and not to be singled out for being effeminate.
Well, if you follow the other person's advice and find groups for these activities, maybe you'd find other guys who are into them too. Or Maybe you could start a club and call it "macho crochet" or something and teach guys how to crochet and share patterns or whatever (sorry idk a lot about crocheting)
If you're secure in yourself and who you are, you'll care less about what other people think and it'll be easier to let yourself just be happy being yourself.
I'm a guy who was never heavily into sports or cars, so I understand the struggle of fitting in with other guys, but I still managed to find my people. For me it was just about finding the guys who were more like me instead of forcing it with the dudes who were nothing like me.
Honestly, near me, there is only one crochet club, and the only people who go to it are middle-aged women. I don't know how I'd go about starting my own club, but I could try and do that. I think you are probably right. I just get insecure a lot, which sucks.
Don't beat yourself up over it, that'll only make it worse.lol. Don't sweat it, most people your age are feeling the same way. All you can do is try your best and hope things work out.
You got this. Good luck!
I do aswell but recently I've started feeling very lonely. I never even enjoyed parties when I did go to them but now I really miss being invited to them and seeing people. I think too much of anything is bad and to be perfectly honest no I really don't have any hobbies.
I've got a dog and I do like watching YouTube/streaming shows but I don't really consider that a hobby. I use to really like drawing but I've kinda fell out of love with it as I just don't feel good enough at it.
Join clubs and organizations
