Maybe it's something you always wanted to do but never got the time around it, or you figured out you were bad at. Maybe it's something you'll try sometime in the future or something you've given up to. What are some things you have always wanted to try?

Thoughts like that fuck me up all the time too. Just think that if you start now, in few years you'll be fluent and be glad you've started now, and you'll not think anymore of "what if I started earlier", all that will matter is that you know it now. It's only too late when you die.

I always wanted to do ice skating but when I was about to start,the ice skating place I was planning to go to shut down and there wasn't really anything like that for many years since it's not like I live in a cold country or it's a famous sport here.
Also I started indoor wall climbing but the act of simply going there gave me anxiety and with the whole rona thing I gave up and now I'm busy with other stuff I hope will manage to finish

I bird. Just go outside and start looking at birds. Think about their shape, their behavior, their calls and songs. Its more effective to start with observing than trying to learn from a book, but pick up a field guide (Sibley is good) and after an outing, thumb through it and see if you can ID one or two you saw. You can start any time right outside your house, birds are everywhere.

Therapy. I hate to be that person, but I am someone who genuinely believes it wouldn't work for "someone like me". I've tried antidepressants, working out, putting myself out there socially, and nothing's been gained. I feel like I would never do the homework and that it would take me ages to find a good therapist. I don't have insurance now so I couldn't even if I wanted to.

>Plant/mushroom/insect/bird/etc identification.

I'd suggest starting with learning how to identify the species that stick out to you or are the most aesthetically pleasing. Then branch out to the species native to your state/locality. Don't get too caught up with Latin names, they really aren't necessary outside of academic settings. Subreddits like r/whatsthisbug and r/whatsthissnake are well moderated, have enthusiastic users, and are a terrific alternative to flashcards.

Funny enough, the TND threads on here really piqued my interest in snakes and motivated me to research different species. In less than a year, I can confidently say I'm able to identify most North American species.

Meditation has well-understood, quantifiable effects. It's unfortunate that it has that insipid New Age/homeopathic connotation to it, because it's objectively effective.

Cooking foreign food. I've always wanted to try french, italian, japanese, korean etc food since it's so different from what I usually eat (south asian) but fuck, I barely have the ingredients needed for most recipies and the ingredients I need are so dang expensive that I just get discouraged. Thing is, I don't like a lot of the traditional food because it's too oily for me and I'd like to venture into different tastes and see what I like and then cook that stuff for my family too. Maybe someday, when I have more money.

Drawing seriously. I loved to draw as a kid, it was my main hobby, but middle school fucked me up and made me lose all my childhood interests. Now I really want to get back into drawing, I've downloaded a ton of books in one of those /if/ links, but there's some kind of mental block, I know I'll be super frustrated because my first drawings will look like crap (which is normal) and I'll be afraid I'll never progress. My main motivator is that I have a ton of OCs I want to give a face to, I really need to force myself to draw even basic shit.

I wish I could make a women-only IB for weebs where we can be degenerate and goof off a bit(but limit the degeneracy to content made for women). like one board for hornyposting and nsfw art, another for general discussion, and one for retard posting. But it won't happen because
1. I don't feel like learning how to code
2. I won't be able to pay for the site
3. Scrotes might ruin it. Though I like to hope that all the gay porn would scare them off, maybe even a guro dick thread, but probably not.
