What is something I can get really good by myself?

Post Reply New Topic

What are skills or hobbies that I can get really good at by myself over the next 5 or 10 years:

-Graphic design Rejected my graphic design background and training and lost interest suddenly
-Writing Can't seem to have a stretch of imagination since I was more or less a hermit my entire life
-Electronics
-Programming But I am having trouble wrapping my head around all the beginner's instructions fully
-Science It has been kind of a dream to get into science and make a science lab in my parent's garage
-Music Playing the guitar

What are the good ideas?

I'm not sure. I think guitar is a good idea, because not much equipment is essential - there are a lot of options equipment-wise, but only a guitar, amp (if electric) and plectrums for some styles are really necessary to start with. So it can be quite simple, but has potential to be really varied and specialised depending on the type of music you want to play, or use of other things like effects pedals, different amps, capos, slides, different string and plectrum types, and a bunch of other things. Maybe it's just because I like music though.

All of your ideas sound interesting, I guess only you can decide as interests are really individual things.

Welding massive dinosaur sculptures out of old car parts. The best of both worlds.

Physical fitness! Regardless of age, gender and whether you're wheelchair-bound or not, you may be able to top your category in a form of athletics or weightlifting, etc, if you ever find a form of exercise you enjoy and can stick to. It's easy to say this as a young man, but I can point to one of Britain's top endurance runners who was an obese smoker until his late 20s, growing niche sports like wheelchair rugby, and even elderly female bodybuilders...

Try learning Latin! When you're really bored just conjugate some verbs!
Why not learn everythinh about autism'?!

Learning everything about Autism? What does that mean?

Of those six interests you named which one appeals to you the most? Drop the other five and concentrate on that one interest until you become good at it. Forget that you struggle with something at first and lose interest in it. There is always a resistance barrier to learning anything for the first time. Once you overcome that barrier it become progressively more easy and more enjoyable. You just need to persist in something to reap the rewards.
