So I want to meet people and be a more exciting person, so I looked into starting a hobby that wasn't video games. Turns out that the only things that are interesting me aren't going to help though. No one is going to give a shit about my warhammer army, I'm not going to meet people taking pictures in the woods, and reading is something you do by yourself. So that said I don't see the point since two of these three things are quite expensive if it doesn't let me become more interesting.
Its a tight balance. You need to consider what you like, not just what others may find interesting. Becoming a slave to the opinion of others is no way to live life.
Consider instead leaving your comfort zone. Go to a gym and sign up to clubs there, jog, join a book club, cooking lessons. Something. You can do all these things while pursuing your genuine interests on the side. Balance is the key.
