Learn golf. On the surface, it just seems like a game but it has plenty to teach about competing against yourself. Just as in life, the goal is to get a tiny bit better as compared against yourself yesterday. Most of it is a mental game. Patience and frustration will be the first things you will experience, but unlike learning skiing you won't have to worry about hurting yourself. It's an incredibly complex game simply because of the variety of skill involved. Full swing shots, pitching and chipping, sand shots, uneven lies and putting. Course management is also a strategic aspect that requires experience and skill.
Most of the time you will be paired up to form a group of four, so you will probably experience the feeling of being out of place and uncertain of how to act (rules, etiquette). This will help with practicing dealing with uncomfortable situations if you are more introverted. The reason why golf is addicting for many of us is that once you get ok at the game, you start to enjoy the improvement or just the addiction of hitting a great shot where you had planned to hit it. The outdoor aspect is also a big bonus, especially if you start walking 18 holes.
