You can learn something/develop new skills, and many options have zero cost (at least if you're already getting internet).Madeline wrote: ↑Thu Jun 07, 2018 3:00 pmI just don’t know what to do when I feel lost and directionless all of the time...So then my options are to play a video game I’ve already played (because I can’t buy new ones), see if I can find a sketchy streaming site or just hit up YouTube, read the Internet and get depressed, or read a book from the library. I can’t write when I feel like this and I don’t have much else to do. There aren’t any free classes I can take going on right now in my city and I’ve already been to all the free stuff a zillion times. The paintings and exhibits I looked at last week aren’t going to look any different this week. I don’t want to be outside in the afternoon because it’s summer and it’s horrible, I only go out mornings and at night.
You could work on something physical that has cheap/free props like conventional exercise, juggling, or maybe something like tricking/breakdancing if you have a safe surface to work on.
You could learn new facts (e.g. watching documentaries/history lessons on youtube, reading about obscure topics).
Do you have any interest in board-games? You could get into something traditional like Chess or Go or Backgammon. Or play "German-style" games on something like BrettspielWelt.
Since you mentioned video games, there are lots of free video/computer games worth playing, both in the abandonware sphere and the free indie sphere.
There are plenty of free sites to help you learn/develop new skills like programming, or a foreign language, or physics or linguistics or...
There might be local meetups that happen at night that would interest you (either on meetup.com or some other site).
