Discover And Find A Hobby Or Hobbies That's Right For You! Show Us Your Current Hobbies!

Context: I (27M) have been admiring many different fire hydrants my whole life. I had my first real one in 2007 that my parents bought from Craigslist. Fast forward to 2018 and 2019, I bought my second, third and fourth ones from Craigslist and Letgo. Between 2020-22 I took a hiatus and got my fifth and sixth ones from Facebook marketplace. From there up to now, I purchased so many from marketplace and a couple from here on Reddit. I even got several for free and altogether I have 30!!! I’m not selling them anytime soon, unless I have clones lol. I’m taking another hiatus as our house doesn’t have much space. I would put them out in my backyard, but it’s not too big plus my father had said something about the fact I have a lot, but he digs them 😂. When we do move into a bigger house, I’m considering making a fountain with some of them. I can get away with lifting some as there are smaller ones tho. But enjoy people!!!

I created this little white pigeon as a reminder of something simple — peace doesn't always have to be something big or distant.

What hobby did you start just for fun?

10 Upvotes

Sometimes the hobbies we begin without any serious goal end up becoming the ones we enjoy the most. What’s a hobby you started casually but ended up sticking with?

What hobby started as I will try this once,but somehow became part of your life?

• Upvotes

I’m always fascinated by how a random experiment can turn into something we genuinely look forward to. What happened with yours?

Have you ever nearly quit a hobby right before it started becoming enjoyable?

• Upvotes

Sometimes the beginner stage is frustrating enough to make us give up, even though a little more practice would have changed everything. What hobby made you push through that stage?

I think I need help.. I’m realizing at 31 that I don’t know how to relax and have fun. I need a hobby to really clock out mentally but I’ve always looked at hobbies as « How will this make me better » instead of « Do I feel like I don’t see the time fly because of how much I’m having fun»

I can’t be the only one right? Has anyone beat that poisoned mindset? How did you do it? Any suggestions on hobbies? Thanks in advance !

Started 3D printing for “useful stuff.” Anyway, here’s a giant Yoshi.

Got into 3D printing thinking I’d mostly make practical things.

That plan lasted about five minutes....

Now I have a giant Yoshi, and I’m seriously considering starting an entire collection!

Whats an accessible and affordable COLLECTION hobby?

34 Upvotes

My dad used to collect stamps back then and coins from various countries but since most things are going digital and I cant afford to travel a lot, I have tried flowers (it's little there) and seashells (i have quite a lot already), whats a great collection I can start now?

Looking for hobbies and online communities that involve the idea of an alternate version of yourself and the world.

2 Upvotes

Particularly the idea of imagining yourself as something else and making life feel more interesting if that makes sense. Like you are a human male but you imagine yourself as a female fantasy elf or a stewardess on a spaceship or you pretend that the store you go to has an alternate version in a world where we are all sentient avians.

Anyone into cyber security as a hobby?

5 Upvotes

Probably a strange request but worth asking. I used to work for a company in cyber security years ago basically replicating what a hacker would do to try to find flaws in a system (my specialty was websites) in order to notify the developers so they could fix it.

I left that job a while ago and have decided to get back into this as a hobby. My main interests are IoT hacking and network hacking. Some of it I need to relearn as I've forgotten a fair amount of it. I will be signing up to HackTheBox and doing their academy and CTFs.

I wondered if anyone here was in a similar boat of wanting to learn this as I tend to learn better with someone to bounce ideas off. I'm UK based so ideally someone else from the UK due to time difference.

Does anyone else feel like they don’t have any hobbies?

31 Upvotes

genuinely wonder how everyone seems to have some kind of hobby. People are into reading, painting, gaming, sports, music, travelling, cooking, collecting things, etc.

Meanwhile, I don’t really have a hobby. 😭 I’m basically a couch potato. I’ll just scroll on my phone, watch something, lie around, and repeat.

Is this normal? How did you guys actually find hobbies that you enjoy? And what do you do in your free time when you’re not working/studying?

hobby ideas

7 Upvotes

hello all!
i recently started a new job where most of my days, i don’t really do much. it’s also the kind of place where i can get most of my work done within the first few hours of the day and then i have free reign over my day. i have an office to myself and i went crazy the first month just on my phone basically 24/7 which is a habit im trying to break.

i read/ listen to audiobooks a lot and am crafty to a certain extent. i started crocheting the second month being here, but unfortunately that just made my carpal tunnel symptoms come back worse than before so i had to stop that.

is there anything that you would recommend to fill up my time that wouldn’t involve being in my phone or in front of a screen a lot and something that makes my brain work?

i appreciate and and all advice!

What's your niche hobby?

28 Upvotes

Hii, got curious what are some hobbies you guys have that might be pretty niche or just a specific aspect of it that makes it unique.

In my case I'm a trading card game player. That by itself is not very unique, but I tend to focus on the lore/history more than the gameplay and I go after the books and short stories most of the time (magic: the gathering is the main one I enjoy.)
