do anything you want to because you're a completely autonomous human being :)
How about cooking? You don't have to go out, it isn't very hard, and you dont have to interact with someone you dont want to.

This works better than my famicom because the famicom is NTSC-J and I am on PAL, so the best I get is black and white picture with no audio. the famiclone at least gives colour.
Try Pivot, that old animation program people used to fuck around with many years ago. It's good fun and when you've made a good animation, you feel proud of it. You can go onto Pivot-related forums like DarkDemon and work your way up to become a fan-fucking-tastic animator with it. It's free, too. Here's something I'm currently working on for a shit and giggle: (Excuse what it's about, was having a bit of a joke on with someone so I made it. It's context-dependant.) [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33668121/art%20stuff/Misc/h2l5.gif[/img] Pivot's been my hobby for many years. I just love the stuff.

Pick it up again, and don't get burned.
[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;40779618]Pick it up again, and don't get burned.[/QUOTE] I'll consider it, my brother is more into cooking and he is doing a course about it, so I think he'll hog it in the future.
Woodcarving, get a decent pocket knife and some good wood, and carve things.
You should try getting away from your comfort zone more often. I'm sure there's people out there, somewhere, that might understand you, who you are and how you act and live. Maybe you don't see them so often because they're hiding indoors, like you. Don't give up on people... Knowing how to be alone and learning to enjoy your own company is healthy, but sharing is an important part of life and I find it essential to achieve happiness. I don't know how old you are, but as people get older, they mature, and tend to become more compassionate... Do you know beauty? What do you find beautiful?
Build a go-cart?

[QUOTE=zombini;40779643]Woodcarving, get a decent pocket knife and some good wood, and carve things.[/QUOTE] I am too young to own a pocket knife, and I never liked woodcarving, I have done it before.
[quote]I like pivot, I actually use to use it alot but I don't think I would become popular on the forums I go on by using it.[/quote] Who gives a shit. If you enjoy it, do it. Popularity stops being a good thing when it starts limitation you, dictating what you can and cant enjoy. I'd rather be happy than popular. EDIT: Go on a different forum if you must, or just make a new account. It's the internet, people wont know who you are, there's no such thing as a permanent reputation, you can be a new person everyday.
If you're interested in pivot there's a forum I go on called Pivotanimation.org, it's got a really friendly community and I'm a staff guy there. Forum's pretty alive compared to most. If you decide to keep on with pivot, I'll be waiting for you there. Fuck, I'll even help you with pivot personally.

What does popularity on an online forum have to do with your enjoyment? And anyway, don't worry about popularity, you're likely to become popular if you make good animations. Also up at the top, you mentioned you'd be interested in graffiti, go and do it man! I mean obviously, it'd be a bad idea for me to go and tell you to do illegal shit, but as a graffer, it'd be pretty damn hypocritical of me to tell you that you shouldn't

Also if my mom found out, I'll be dead, along with the police.
Soldering / Wiring / electronic work whatever
[QUOTE=TehWoodPcker;40779874]Soldering / Wiring / electronic work whatever[/QUOTE] I want to work with Electronics (computer building) but my Mom or Dad won't let me, I know they won't atleast, I want to convince them tho.
Heads up: being popular for something that you're not is not that fun. The illusion of being loved is nice, but it'll become your ball and chain. But have fun in your voyage, I wish you all the best. Would doing graffiti on card boards/anything that's not considered vandalism be an option?

[b]Longboarding[/b] [IMG]http://community.mis.temple.edu/jackieling/files/2011/11/longboarding-87532-500-333.jpg[/IMG] While it's a [i]little[/i] expensive and a [i]little[/i] dangerous, it's seriously a very fun thing to do, especially in the summer and if you have friends who also do it. It's pretty casual and easy to learn, you don't need to waste your time trying to validate yourself with 'tr1ccKzZ' as you would in a community of skateboarders. If you live in a hilly area with a few good open roads, there really is nothing that can beat boarding down a long road. At entry-level, you don't need to spend more than £100 and once you've got a board, a helmet, and maybe some elbow/knee pads you don't need to spend any more for a long time. I personally recommend it as something to do/be interested in. Like I said, it's pretty casual and you don't need to sweat or get out of breath doing it.

[QUOTE=-The_D-;40780009] Would doing graffiti on card boards/anything that's not considered vandalism be an option?[/QUOTE] It depends, if I don't own them, yes.
[QUOTE=Xonax;40780102]I'd do that, but our roads are bumpy as hell. [/QUOTE] Not a problem, just get a high-ride board. Well, depending on just [b]how[/b] bumpy we're talking. My local roads are a little coarse, but not a big problem. If you've literally got potholes and genuinely dangerous roads, then maybe it's not a good idea. If anything coarse roads are helpful because they slow you down, especially on a low-ride board. High-rides are a fucking dream to ride on smooth roads or paved areas like town centre plazas etc.

[QUOTE=Xonax;40780153]I never really been a fan of boarding all together at all.[/QUOTE] Is there anything you're a fan of? I'm obsessed with bands and music which keeps me generally occupied when it's raining.
[QUOTE=Xonax;40779978]I want to work with Electronics (computer building) but my Mom or Dad won't let me, I know they won't atleast, I want to convince them tho.[/QUOTE] Get an Arduino starter pack. They're good fun I hear, and you can do a lot of stuff with it without soldering and really all you're working with is a few batteries so you're not putting yourself in any serious risks. You said you're learning programming so this would also help you along with that and if you already know the fundamentals of programming then you're already well on your way to getting started with one. They don't cost a lot either.
