I'm a student, but I have ample amounts of free time this semester. School clubs and socializing in general scares the shit out of me and I don't want to work a part-time job. I already have a regular workout routine.
Literally all my free time is currently spent on 4chan, netflix, and sites where I watch cartoons and/or anime.
Recommend a hobby? Preferences:
>won't be humiliating
>can do it on my own
>can use it for conversation
>free or at least very low-cost
>flexible schedule, can start or stop doing it whenever I want
thanks

damn you fast
Biology. I'm working on getting involved with research but really I want something to do in my free time, an actual hobby to make me feel more like a person.
gold panning
its what i do, it costs between $20-$1000 depending if you want a sluice box and water pump in addition to a gold pan.
ive made it back and more in semi precious gems and the gold i find.
its a one man hobby, you can do it whenever you have free time, its a conversation piece to boot
Develop mods for a game you really like. Learn to play an instrument. Teach yourself a new language (Esperanto is a great way to build confidence in this regard, though it's not a useful language in itself)

Depends on what you like OP.. I optimize LinkedIn profiles as a hobby, others paint, climb, go mountain biking, read so on and so forth. What do you like doing?

Its a slow day at work lol.
Have you considered learning programming? A simple language like python can make your job much easier and bump your resume up. Can go at your own pace and learn for free. If you happen to get decent at it, try attending a local hackathon. You can work solo nut it will indoctrinate you with socializing. Most people there are antisocial too so the social pressure is minimal.
As an alternative, cooking is a good option. Useful skill in general with beneficial results almost immediately. Saves you money, improves health, tastier meals, and a great icebreaker skill to help your love life.

cycling is good but has a pretty high initial cost and is pretty social. You could try running which you only need shoes for. XC and trail running are fun
