Is it weird that I have no hobbies?

Buy a camera and take photos even a cheap film one! you can't tell me your not talented enough to press a button this could be seen as slightly sexist and it's by no means intended that way, i really want too aswell, what about taking up baking? you could even sell the baked goods or run your own catering business? kill two birds with one stone... i actually really hate that saying but can't think of another to take it's place.

You mentioned two things i am kind of interested in but not good at. I wanted to start a baking business a few months ago but everything came out wrong and after watching several baking shows, I realized I dont have as much passion as they do.
I do have a camera-film and digital. I like it but again not good at it. If I am not good at it, I get discouraged very easily.

Don't give up on finding your passion. Try out different things and see which ones you're good at and enjoy. I'm sure your passion will come to you one day.
In college, I changed majors over 5 times. I felt so lost because I didn't know what career I wanted to pursue. Eventually, I found my passion in IT and settled with that.
Try taking career tests and personality tests; these can help you narrow your search down. I know schools generally provide them at no cost or at low prices.

What do you mean your not good at them? says who? yourself when your depressed? your standards or expectations might be a little to high and you might have got the wrong idea about certain things like with photography most photographers use dslr cameras with fancy lens that cost $1000s and they have spent years and years learning how to take really good pictures is it realistic to compare your digital camera with its few settings and yourself with little experience to their photo's and cameras that do 90% of the work? everyone has to start somewhere*

there's this quote in photography that goes "your first 10,000 pictures are your worst"

I hope that didn't sound mean in anyway, i think im quite similar to you in a lot of ways and i understand how easy it is to give up and compare yourself to others negatively.. i think passion grows with experience/knowledge even if you have depression and depression could be helpful in this case.... since i think depression has a bit of a silver lining when it comes to creativity.

*Same goes for baking :3 & i bet your much better then you think!

operating a business is quite different than having a hobby.

If I am not good at it, I get discouraged very easily.

this probably contributes to the problem. maybe you are the best frickin figure skater of the entire world but you don't know because you haven't allowed yourself to get past the first baby steps of learning.

Nah you will stumble across something I'm sure. I haven't had many hobbies until recently I kind of had to more so to gain skills but I think because of depression and I get bored, lazy and frustrated if I don't pick it up quick so many things haven't really captured my interest long enough for me to maintain them.

If you like photography or baking you don't have to give up because you failed at the beginning
I know it's hard because I also get discouraged easily, but if you practice every day in something you like, you will have great improvement, if not at least you tried and made a new experience
And I think it isn't necessary to have an hobby all the time, I had periods where for example I liked making jewellery or other handmade things, and periods where I liked playing videogames or just being lazy.
