You won't know if something is fun if you don't give it a chance. Have you tried anything already and how did it went?
I don't think you told us what was your comfort zone?
As an alternative, I can tell you what I enjoy or have enjoyed doing. For years, I was into making scale models. That was fun... because I liked that a lot (always was into war planes since I was a child). I'm very much interested in playing chess and DIY (fixing stuff, even electronics, woodworking,...). I'm also much into taking long walks (a few years ago I was barely able to walk at all. So, yeah, some activities can have life-changing effects). Learning foreign languages too (that's how I learn(ed) English).
Above all, I'm a reader. I have been one most my life and will be one till the day I die. Do you like reading? Have you tried reading?
To put that question into perspective, I don't think I ever really experienced real boredom in my life. It's just alien to me. As a reader, I always have something interesting, exciting, or at the very least something fun to read with me. Like I told you, I love to take long walks but even when I go out for a walk you will never see me without a pocket book, just in case I need to wait and have time to waste. I also carry a notebook (I write) and often, I will also carry a sketchbook (I'm no artist, I just enjoy sketching stuff).
Have you checked where is located your closest public library and got your card to start borrowing books? In my country, France, they're free for book borrowing (one needs to pay for borrowing movies and music only).
What books could you read? Well, are there some kind of stories or type of content you're more interested in? Say, science-fiction or fantasy? Love stories? Historical or war novels maybe? Or would you find more interest in reading essays, history, sociology, or reading biographies? Whatever. If you really have no idea what light interest you, well, that's one reason more to get your library card: most librarians are nice people who will welcome you and help you make your first reading steps, no matter if you're a little kid that just started to read or an older dude like I'm ;)
Don't want to go to the library and meet real people? No big deal, use their ebook borrowing service instead, you just need an account and a computer.
