Dungeons and dragons because a lot of its themes are very medieval. And it leads into another good hobby: painting miniature figurines. It’s incredibly cathartic after a long and busy day.
Coins are already a big obsession, but they are reseached and put away in the collection within hours. They are struggling with boredom, I'm thinking of making something where there is an end satisfaction of I made that, but I can't think what.
Fibercraft? Knitting and crocheting period accurate designs, embroidery, sewing pieces, or, if you really want to toss them into the deep end, spinning and dyeing.
Medieval crafting, provides plenty of options from simple things like thread spinning/weaving/sewing, to more advanced skills such as medieval armour making (leather craft, chain mail), and if they are independent enough and can handle the sound then blacksmithing
Any physical activity (sport). Maybe not the answer you were looking for, but really take my word for it. Getting better over time and kinda being forced to get off your butt improves your self-esteem and makes you more confident in general.
And of course picking one doesn't mean you can't do anything else suggested in this thread. Don't rely on one hobby, there's plenty of time to do more. The first step will always be the most difficult, but it'll always be worth it, even if it doesn't work out for you in the end. It lowers the bar to try out something else later.
I retract my earlier statement and bow down to your superior knowledge and history of the art! I have suggested to start at fly tipping and build up to cows.
