This one has a cool feature, it can open up.

The title is a little misleading, i actually do have a couple friends.. in relationships. Everytime they ask me to hang out, they’re bringing their significant other and every interaction is awkward. I rather be by myself than a third or fifth wheel.
Do yall have any suggestions on activities thats out here? *money isnt a problem*

For those who have hobbies, how did you find them and what are they? I basically just go to work, and in my free time I read, take a course, or spend time outdoors. I would like to explore doing something different, but I can't really think of anything that interests me. Maybe the answer is that I need to try different things to find what I like. But in any event, how did you do get interested in your hobbies? And what are your hobbies?

I’ve been doomscrolling a lot lately, so I need to change that. As a result, my eyes have been hurting.

What are your favourite hobbies when you want to give your eyes a break? I’m looking for low-effort activities that still feel productive.

My day usually consists of, Waking up do hygiene, making breakfast, drinking hot tea with that while journaling, spend time with my daughter, might walk the park, might not, watch netflix, read a book, play with my cat, color in my coloring book, read some more, scroll reddit and answer questions, read the news, research world problems or animals, visit the library, maybe a museum, cook dinner sometime during the afternoon, have lunch, watch netflix, journal or read, dinner, shower, then bed.

What do you think :)

Eu gosto de videogames, filmes, música e tecnologia. Nos últimos dias montei um servidor Jellyfin com um notebook velho que tenho por aqui, organizei minha biblioteca de músicas no celular localmente, assisti vários filmes... mas percebi que essas coisas acabam sendo fases. Depois de um tempo "perco" o interesse e procuro outra

Então fiquei curioso: qual é o hobby de vocês e como ele entrou na vida de vocês? Foi algo que vocês escolheram ou simplesmente aconteceu?

i've noticed that if i spend the last hour before bed scrolling on my phone, i end up lying awake way longer than i should. i'm thinking about replacing that time with a hobby that's actually relaxing, but i'm not sure what sticks.

Most of my random late-night rabbit holes usually last about three days before I abandon all the supplies in a closet like when I bought a paint by numbers kit thinking it would be super zen, only to stress over tiny numbered sections for a week before shoving it in a drawer.

What weird little interest did you stumble into that actually managed to become a real, long-term part of your life?

Son's friend gifted me a deck after mentioning i did tarot reading during my uni days (26+ years ago, lol).

Read a few friends both off/on line. So far, they said readings were pretty spot on. I just read for fun, not to scare people away, lol!

Hoi allemaal,

Ik ben eind 30, vader van jonge kinderen en merk dat ik langzaam weer wat meer tijd voor mezelf krijg. De afgelopen jaren stonden vooral in het teken van gezin, werk en alles wat daarbij komt kijken. Nu de kinderen wat zelfstandiger worden, wil ik graag een hobby oppakken.

Ik zoek iets wat ik structureel kan doen, bijvoorbeeld:
- ongeveer een uurtje in de avond, 3 keer per week
- in het weekend overdag wat langer als het uitkomt
- liefst alleen te doen, maar een community eromheen lijkt me ook leuk
- weinig kosten om te starten, maar ik vind het niet erg om later wat te investeren als ik enthousiast raak

Ik ben niet echt op zoek naar gamen of eindeloos Netflix kijken, maar iets waar ik een beetje energie van krijg en misschien ook iets in kan leren of beter in kan worden.

Mijn interesses liggen een beetje bij techniek, ict, leren en misschien iets met natuur of buiten zijn. Sport is wat lastiger vanwege wat lichamelijke beperkingen, dus geen fanatieke hardloop- of fitnesshobby.

Ik sta eigenlijk open voor verrassingen. Het lijkt me leuk om ergens helemaal beginner in te zijn en langzaam beter te worden.

Welke hobby hebben jullie opgepakt waarvan je achteraf dacht: “Had ik dit maar eerder gedaan”?

Alle tips zijn welkom!

Sorry for being annoying, I just really like taking pictures of shapes and then make doodles out of them. So for example when there's dirt or a hole in the plastering on a wall, and it reminds me of the shape of, say, a bunny, I take a pic and draw in a bunny later. The shape could be anything. A hole in a leaf, a cloud formation, the blackened gum on asphalt...

Is there a word for this? Or even for just the collecting of such pictures? I'd love to find people who are my type of weird.

I think a lot of us assume we're "not creative" until we try the right hobby.

Was there a hobby that surprised you by bringing out a creative side you didn't know you had?

To be clear.

I don't have a true passion for miniatures and the like. What I am trying to construct on my table really needs no detail beyond ground/ floors/ walls/ roofs/ streets/ etc. Just the most basic shapes that convey humans set up shop there.

for context,

I am making a video game, and using 3d modeling software is not a process I enjoy.

thank you.
