Hobbies?

So, I'm a loner, and nobody likes me, but this is now understood. Everyday, I venture out into the great outdoors- nothing to do. I walk, hastily, around town for a few hours with no real destination... I just find a spot to stop, pull out my iPad and commence Internet browsing with local wifi. I then stand up and bein walking home, on a different path. Sometimes I meet interesting people that I'll spend a day with or maybe find something to do... Other than that- there is no real point to anything I do except for boredom :/ ive tried to get a job with NO succes. This just brins me down. I've had fully committed days to filling out applications, and turning in resumes with not a single call!
I suppose it's the city I live in... Nothing to do here but fuck up, really. Sometimes I'll go hiking and take snap shots of random situations I find myself in.... Anyways, what do you guys do when you ave absolutely nothing to do, nobody to talk to, and no currency? I used to make money... Other ways, but have got myself in such a pickle- i can't really explain it, but, I will not be taking that route anymore...

Okay, and...? Sounds like you have a poor attitude which impacts your ability to succeed to me. If you think you are a failure, guess what? You're gonna be one.
There's plenty to do for entertainment and for financial income if you are willing to change your attitude and put in the effort.

Join some sort of community. Involve yourself with people, find people you enjoy and who enjoy you. Look for what you're good at or what you have credentials in and start searching for jobs. I mean those two tasks alone should keep you occupied to the point where you atleast wont be bored anymore.

I'm not nice or considerate. I am motivated, selfish, greedy, and successful. Success in the world has little to do with your capacity for kindness.
You must make a conscious decision to stop thinking your quality of life is poor for any reason other than your own doing. From there, it is a matter of bettering your education or seeking meaningful employment or both. You start at the bottom and work up. There is no magic to it or secret to it.

You sound like you have 0 job experience
The best attribute you can have when looking for a job is being persistent.
I guarantee you that they will not call you unless you are like some holy grail of a worker.
This isn't because they are discriminating against you, its because that other people who want the same job are coming in again trying to talk them into hiring them.
Go in, turn in a resume, give it another day or two and go back into where you filled out your resume and ask the manager/hiring person and see if they looked at it and if they were hiring. Just be polite and make sure you are stern that you would really like to work there and you are willing to learn and adapt.
Do NOT EXPECT THEM TO CALL YOU. It will not happen.

Do you like skateboarding? I used to just walk around town all the time like you did. Hoping I'd meet some cool person along my walks and make best friends. Never happened needless to say. So I started skating, now I got a nice hobby, I have friends, and I meet new cool people every now and again.
Find something like that.

You would be right. Never had a job. Basically show major interest? What if I lied on my resume..?
Can't skate, but I can try.

Exaggerate as much as reasonably possible on your applications. Nothing easily seen through. A large portion of advancement is your proficiency at the subtle art of bullshitting and playing people.

You can lie all you want about your skills.
But if they catch you in your lie, you can get fired, but who cares, you would of never got the job anyway.
Just don't lie about references. That would be the only thing they seriously check if they do decide to.

With a job, don't just go out there with "please hire me I work really hard I promise". Get some skills, get something tangible. Can you volunteer at an auto shop? Cleaning up, stuff like that? Just being around cars and shit? Volunteering, not even getting paid. Then you can go out there, and say that you have SOME experience.
Get some skills, you know?

Learn something, go back to school to learn a trade. Trades are awesome. Learn to weld, HVAC, auto, plumbing. Yeah it's actual work but it's better than minimum wage.

Those trades also make respectable money for the time you invest to become proficient. Just don't go have fifteen kids or something fucking stupid and you'd be able to do very well for yourself with a tradeskill. It is work that is virtually always in demand.

Plumbing. Always fixing shit around the house! Fixed the damn faucet yesterday. Unfortunately, I'm suspended from financial because I was incarcerated for about a month and a half. I just need to pay a $300 fee!, Whoo hoo. Im thinking about volunteering for the community center, now. Im so damn lazy, though... Shit there goes my attitude again.

You've got to kick yourself in the ass a little and be able to at least fake a positive attitude when dealing with potential employers-- a lot of positions require on the job training, and employers truly value someone willing and able to learn and who presents a good work ethic and positive attitude. You have to sell yourself, and present an image of someone that would be nice to see on a daily basis-- selling anything, including yourself, requires believing in the product-- so quit hanging your head for starters, be persistent, and make looking for a job (if that's what you really need, and want) your hobby.
Don't listen to sVs too much, he's an asshole-- there is value in kindness, and it can be a contributing factor to success; he's right about taking responsibility for your own position in life and just working your way up from whatever you can get.
sVs: You're welcome, I know how proud you are of your asshole status

Man one thing I've noticed about hobbies is, there is only a limited number of hobbies that you can actually be considerably good at.
For example, when I was a young lad (and as were most I suspect), I wanted to be a President/astronaut/firefighter/Superman/badass but as I got older, I realized that I could not be everything I wanted to be and had to pick one thing and get really good at it (division of labor is part of this concept).
If you pick too many hobbies, your time will be spread out among all these hobbies and you will only be mediocre at a lot of things. You can only be considerably good at a limited number of things, before you have too many hobbies and your time devoted towards each of them starts eating into each other.

Mushroom hunting, mountain biking, snowboarding, kayaking, DISC GOLF (chillest most affordable sport ever), photography, music, the list goes on and on and on. Also, maybe I missed someone else mentioning this, but go take some classes at your local college.

keep looking for work, go to the library, work out, volunteer.
Work on your self esteem and help others. Once you start thinking more positive on a daily basis, you will start to feel better.
Don't escape into a drug haze, might be nice in the short term but it's just a mask.
Find a job that interests you and tell them you will work for free for a week or two, if they see potential you might get hired. If not, you have still learned something.

Try getting hired at a National Park or something like that, they usually hire anybody who applies if you can pass a drug test. Then you get to go live in some cheap ass employee housing and just stack your pay checks every week because there's nothing to spend them on. Then on your days off you get to go hiking and stuff
