Living alone, no friends or family and I was wondering if you have any suggestions for actives to do when alone at home. I have just bought a game of Bananagrams on Vinted as I can complete that alone. What else do you do that is mentally stimulating and can be done alone? I am looking for activities that I can get absorbed in

The following are a given: reading, watching a series, word searches, cooking, jigsaw, listening to music, knitting.

Am I missing something else?

Have you looked at book nooks @Searchingforananswer2023

As I said volunteer somewhere and get yourself a dog, they are much better than people and more loyal. I am not belittling your situation just making suggestions. It is also extremely lonely when you have people that don't even look up when you come in. My dog is delightful with her greeting and makes my world.
