Suddenly life doesn't seem so shitty. If you feel bad, why not try doing some arts and crafts? Not only does it feel good to create something, but the action is very therapeutic and rewarding at the time.
Pic related, the bracelet I made.
That's great to hear anon, finally some hope on this degenerate board

I'll second that, I enjoy composing and writing. These hobbies help distract me from how shitty everything is. But I'll warn you, don't get caught up with the idea of profiting off your work, it should be its own reward and besides, the number of people who actually end up successful from this stuff is extremely low. Keep it up though, glad you found something to make you happier desu.
I know how you feel dude. Even though it's very hard to make money from crafts, I get excited at the idea that people might want to buy what I make, even though it might be for well below minimum wage, so that i can supplement NEETbux and also have something that I can tell people I "do".
If you want to focus on weaving, I'd say that by all means get your confidence up with bracelet weaving kits... but for selling its best to have an original design with a unique selling point. If you started to get good you could make them into Christmas tree decorations or dolls house wall hangings.
