If you aren't fucking around - You absolutely can. Just fucking do it. I used to hate cooking anything more than eggs, bacon, steak and some green peppers. But I decided I wanted to cook better things so I watched a shit ton of cooking videos (Bon Appetit is a good place to start, a bit gay but you learn things). Just do it man. No excuses. Do it for a period of time and if its still that miserable try something else. There's no point living life like you are describing it.

Sometimes in life you just have to do things.

Okay, so let me get this straight. You want a reliable source of income, but don't want to get a crappy job. So you're looking for an enjoyable hobby that you could spin into a source of income, but the issue is that you think you're too weird to enjoy any "normie" hobbies that can make you money.
Am I getting this right?

More of just venting tbh. Normies are midwits and their fascinations are simpler. Because of this I feel there are more practical skills are tangential to them.

Dude it’s weird. Once I figured out how to mirror people from my time in sales it’s all butter. I have people that I literally just listen to, and then all of a sudden they’re calling me their “best friend” and I can’t even remember their name. So I just call them bro and dude. It’s weird it’s like having a fan club. Imagine if I tried.

With things like cooking you’re absolutely right. However with things like hunting with guns, and vehicle repair. It requires I sacrifice a significant amount of time and money.
 
You should look into stand-up comedy, your OP is exactly like a Sam Hyde script lmao

I’ve done that actually. A girl I was with once upon a time told me there would be an open mic night at a bar. She said I should do it. So on the drive over I made an outline and improved the whole 10 minutes. I didn’t care if I sucked because I was drunk and no one else was that great. I was surprised to find that I actually got the audience laughing consistently. Someone actually invited me to a proper comedy club after.

Building models is fun, like doing the little replicas of military vehicles or hot rods. Hobby Lobby usually has a pretty good stock of them for all levels of experience. Don't jump straight into a master level one or it'll piss you off and you'll hate everything about it. Buy the babby's first model kit and see if you like it. I find that it's very zen-like, just focusing on putting the little things together. Plus you get a cool ass model when you are done.

No, nigga go birdwatching. Go look at birds somewhere you already go and use free books or tools to ID them, and get hooked on finding more interesting birds. You can do it solo, with your bf/gf, family, or make friends in bird watching groups. Or don't, idk I skimmed a lot of the shit here bc it seemed autistic as shit.

Since when do hobbies make money? They're universally accepted as money sinks, unless it's something that really doesn't require anything, like writing. Everything will cost money and very likely have zero return. The only hobby that I could think of that can make a bit of money is writing, you can write short stories and sell them to magazines, if they buy them. Otherwise? There'll be costs for all sorts of equipment and/or travel expenses, and no way to make that money back.
One huge reason people accept doing jobs they're not 100% happy with is that they get disposable incomes for their hobbies they're passionate about.

I did some yard work for a relative who had a rotten tree cut down and had the wood ready to either junk or process. Bought an axe, started slapping wood, and it kind of just activated a new interest. Never done it prior, became a fan almost instantly. I dont know if chopping wood is a normie hobby now that I think about it...

More exposure therapy to eliminate things that just dont do anything for you, would be my guess.
