So i have a problem with almost constatly being bored also ima young adult so boredom is kinda common around this time. you might be shocked but i cant drive yet becasue im not intersted also im super afraid to drive. i spend most my time indoors becasue it shot outside and scary (thats the dessert for ya). i usally watch youtube and sometimes i play video games but i just want to do something more with my life, ya know? im just not sure what.

also i feel like i post about this kind of stuff way too much... i also want money but i also want to have fun which is annoying.

Mushrooms are pretty easy to grow.

Just need a hobby man. What are you interested in? Pickup guitar or something. If you want a job look for a job. If you want a job later but not now, start taking classes online that you would benefit from for a career later

Exercise, reading, video gaming, watching movies, painting, sculpting, weaving, virtual reality, photo editing, origami, drawing, Lego, electronics, programming.... I mean, there's a lot of things you could do.

Do you have other ways to get around? Maybe moving to a place that does? I realize I'm not answering your question, but there's only so much fun you can have indoors by yourself all the time. You'll end up feeling bored eventually no matter what. You specifically mentioned that outside is scary, which I think is the core problem here. Doing some exposure therapy by yourself or with guidance from a therapist could help.

Have you thought about finding a remote job or side hustle that you can do without leaving your house? That can give you something to do and get you some money. You can read books, or if that doesn't interest you start doing some body weight workouts. Keep your mind interested and your body tired and you won't be bored. If you want to never be bored again, you could always get in to Warhammer 40k, lol.

i have been thinking about doing a sidehustle but im not sure what, ive been trying to sell my old items i no longer need but i haven thad much luck yet. warhammer looks interesting but im a fan of games more like dnd but i have no-one to play with and im not a fan of online games, also warhammer seems pricey in a way.

I was mostly joking about Warhammer, cause if you get into the tabletop side of it you'll never be lacking for things to do (or have money again). As for the side hustle, search online for ideas and you'll find some pretty easy ones. If you're artistic you can design shirts or something, or do little gigs on Fiverr. They have some young people that make a lot of money with an online side hustle, just have to get creative and put in some work on it.
