I think I have found my next favorite hobby!!! I didn't know these were a thing, but apparently on Amazon you can buy these miniature DollHouse DIY kits and make these CUTE dollhouses!!!! This would be such a fun craft.
However, I have to be responsible and not buy these kits now, I will be getting a job soon hopefully I applied to two places near me and am looking for more. Once I do I am going to start building credit and looking for a roommate or maybe even looking for my own apartment, I would be happy with a studio apartment. Maybe that will be further down the road though, get a roommate at first so I can save for a car and once I get a car, move out to a studio.
Also I am really seeing positive effects of not having any doomscrolling social media (I split social media, in my mind, in two categories. Doomscrolling socials like TikTok/Facebook/reddit basically any that have content you can scroll through, and communication socials like discord/Snapchat/WhatsApp).
I have not been staying up late like I used to since I have nothing to mindlessly scroll through I find it easier to go to bed at a reasonable time and then wake up earlier as well. I have felt more positive not dealing with the constant stream of people's negativity.
It is like an addiction though, I though people who said this were weirdos but it really is. Because I find myself having urges to download it again, but I can treat it like any addiction urge. When I feel the need to get doomscrolling socials I go outside, work on my paint by number, hang out with a friend or chat with a family member. It is the same distraction technique I used when quitting SH. Obviously SH was a lot more difficult and serious, but the same methods can work on social media as well!
I still have YouTube, but I have not been scrolling through YouTube shorts so that is good. It is all a process and I feel much better and more light and clear in my mind without feeling trapped and weighed down by the world of social media.
