I've been trying to find activities I can do on my own. I like being on my own and doing stuff by myself. But when I look up "fun things to do as an extrovert" and the results are pages of "how to not be an extrovert". Like ffs I like being an introvert, why this obsession with changing my personality style and trying to force me to be something I'm not

I'm neither introverted nor extroverted, but I do shit alone every day!

Found a new trail to hike by my house, along with the miles of "wild" trails in the woods here. Just got back from a 4-mile.

Yesterday I kayaked a couple of miles in the local swamp. Saw beautiful things!

Also, I lay in bed and read everyday, even if my wife is there. If she wants TV? Ear plugs, I'm basically alone.

EDIT: Forgot to add: I found these things to do simply by poking around on Google Maps, seeing what was around me. Not "official" places, just looking at geography. It's free.

Cycling, role playing games, hiking groups, theater, local, community, local community theater, fascism, beating up people I don't like

Try "alone" or "by yourself" instead of "introvert." (I assume that's the word you meant.)
