What is the best way to meet new people when you have no hobbies?

I have no hobbies and I'm not interested in anything in particular, I feel like I'm just a lump of flesh that consumes food/water/air, sleeps and works, and thats about it. I'm just barely existing, its terrifying, and I've never felt this way before. Had a life like everyone else before but because of the pandemic, I found myself in a place where I don't know what to do with myself when I'm not working. I downloaded every dating and friend-making app, added everyone I could, no-one has added me back. Every time I go for a walk, I meet no one. I have no friends, and my family lives quite far away (but they're all doing well). What can I do? Please help.<br><br>I'm 23M/F5'10 126lbs, the way I look doesn't seem to be an issue with people, I'm often told I look good and pretty, but yeah doesnt seem to make a difference. I'm not exactly socially impaired, I'm just alone and don't know what to do. I've been reading a lot of stuff online, and everyone seems to have their hobbies, and I just don't have that. What can I do? What should I see? Where should I go? What should I change about myself?<br><br>I've tried being receptive, but the people around me either have families or have friend circles of their own. I'm working a night shift rn, but I'll be changing to day shift soon, so that might help (I guess?) but yeah. Please help. I'm so scared, and I don't know how to help myself. I can't imagine living like this, and I don't know how to make it stop. Please. Help.<br><br>[EDIT] Thank you everyone for your kind comments and replies! I feel like I have some things I can push off from, and I'll definitely work on that! I'll stop by again in a few weeks and talk about my progress. Sending love to everyone here :)
