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 :)

Playing games. I like games because they catch my attention for a long time. I enjoy card games, action games, driving simulators, RPG, platformers, arcade. I'm starting to get interested in TTRPG and I found a community you like that talks about playing them solo: !solorpg!solorpg@lemm.ee or you could go for !solorpg@lemmy.ml I also read, do crossword puzzles, and do puzzle games on the computer. I think gaming, doing puzzles, and reading are good because they keep my mind working. I also like to doodle. I have a book about keeping a doodle journal that I like called Doodle Art and Lettering with Joanne Sharpe: Inspiration and Techniques for Personal Expression I like doodling and lettering because it's a nice way to get my thoughts out of my brain and into some other space. I also like walking and hiking, which combine well with reading.
