For me, I had to find some things where you can enjoy it alone, but also find a community and sometimes be social: Roller skating, Pinball tournaments, board games (and board game bars). Pinball especially has been great for me, as it has a near unlimited skill ceiling, but is also fun and interesting even when playing poorly.

To find community, check out Instagram for local people in your hobby, and follow the trail of suggestions to the big local “community” accounts. E.g. my metro has 2-3 big roller skating community-run accounts that announce all of the events.

I personally found that making time for a “hobby” that was also athletic was a huge mood stabilizer and positively impacted the rest of my life as well. Highly recommend!
