Cheap creative hobbies for introverts

Lately started painting miniature figures (D&D) and I really enjoy it. Very zen. I need more activities like that in my life. Does anyone have any other suggestions for cheap, simple hobbies for people who hate people?

I really like crocheting and macrame. Also a good portable hobby in case you do want to meet people.

Frisbee golf with a waste basket and the plastic lids from Planters peanuts.

Tabletop rpgs. Move past D&D it's a gigantic corporate money farm. You can get amazingly inventive games for ten bucks a pdf from sites like drivethrurpg and all you need is some friends and dice after that - and its a good way to make new friends. One of the best cheap hobbies.

Making wax figures of your best enemies and sticking red hot needles in them, while chanting evil curses, can be very therapeutic, and will easily occupy a couple of hours a day.

@Carey Hey, that's a cool hobby.
Are you sure you hate people or is it your mood swings?

check out Stiltbeast Studios youtube channel. he's a haunt director who makes all kinds of props and stuff. Some of it comes out awesome with really cheap materials. Some of it, like latex masks can get pretty expensive. But one way or another, you'll learn all kinds of techniques you may never have even thought of.

Collecting, and photography (can be expensive, but really you can get such amazing photos with a phone these days, especially if you learn editing and the settings to get the best images from your phone), models of what ever interests you, assembly and painting. You can build whole towns and such.

I'd say music is a very good idea but then you'd need to invest in an instrument. Sure you could order one online and get it in a really good price. Painting brings greater peace, calmness, focus, and unleashes creativity.. but I find that music balances an introvert's heart at best..:)

I make kindness rocks. Started it during covid. Basically you paint a little rock and leave it in a public place to spread joy or encouragement to others. I also attach a website they can post a pic of it and then they can keep it or rehide it.

@DoubleRings I tried it, but they started throwing them into windows. I guess putting "Toss your troubles like this rock" wasn't a good idea.

If you live somewhere appropriate then hiking. You do need a few things to start but you can do it inexpensively. If you get in to then you upgrade. Even just getting in to nature without people and noise, and just sitting, is awesome and free.

I play D&D and I can tell you there is a huge market that pays very well for people to paint figures in the colors of the character they play. You might want to look at that to bide your time and to make a great bit of money!

Rather insulting generalisation about introverts. We don't all "hate people". Though I can imagine why some may not universally love you 🙄

If you like dungeons and dragons may I suggest the boardgame HeroQuest. It is quite fun and has an app that acts as game master so you can play solo.

Jigsaw puzzles,quite a few solitary hobbies.

I read this yesterday, and I immediately thought "whittling". But really any kind of artistic hobby would work well I think.
I like to make music mainly and in 2023 you really don't need to be in a band to make interesting music.
