What are your hobbies? (beehaw.org)

Hey folks,

I have been trying to find some new hobbies to keep my anxiety/depression at bay. It seems, however, that my mind is not creative enough to find interesting things to do. So, I come to you to ask: What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?

Here are the things I've tried:

  • Going to the gym (This is more of a habit than a hobby nowadays)
  • Gaming (I've been getting less and less out of it as I get older)
  • Bouldering (It's fun, but not without a group of friends)
  • TTRPG (I can't seem to find a steady group or one online, but otherwise, it's very enjoyable)
  • Learning a new instrument (I started playing the guitar and I love it)
  • Philosophy (Is that a hobby? I enjoy reading and reflecting on it)

So, folks, what are your favorite pastimes?

Thanks :)

I figure eventually here these kids are going to be old enough to get in on these co-op survival games. I hooked up my old Wii recently and my daughter loves to play Mario Kart, even it she only drives in circles and shouts, "Find me, Dad!". We just have to get through the sleep deprivation and maybe another thousand bedtimes or so, and then hey.. It'll probably get easier.. ๐Ÿซ

When kiddo's down in the home office with me his favorite thing is to play with my simrig. He'll point to the wheel and ask "Dwive? Dwive?" and then when I set him up he'll happily saw away at the wheel for a half an hour at the time -- usually right into a wall, but I can't expect perfect apexes from a 20-month-old, can I? ๐Ÿ˜
