73 Fun Things To Do Alone At Home For When You Are Bored

A list of things to do alone that prove you don’t want to leave the house to have fun.

When being with yourself, you can be yourself 100%.

Growing up, I have always been an introvert with not too many friends. Having a small social circle is bittersweet. I get to have an in-depth relationship with each and every one of my friends. But sometimes it’s hard to find someone available to kill time together.

Since I started cutting fake friends out of my life, my circle gets even smaller. That’s why most of the time, I will have to find ways to date myself. And as a homebody, I prefer to have fun on my own without leaving the house.

That’s why I make this list of fun things to do alone at home. I hope these different ways to spend time by yourself will help you to enjoy your precious me-time.
