About 90% of the population has no REAL hobbies outside of their jobs. If you're wondering why you feel unhappy and unfulfilled, this is why.

I have always been a hobbyist. I know wood working and once built an entire MAME PC arcade machine. I like building custom gaming PCs, which I combined with my wood skills to make the cabinet. I love to sketch, mostly anatomy and comic book style stuff. Drawing and sketching is pretty much an anti-depressant to me. I love photography and filmmaking which is what got me into my career (television broadcasting). I like to collect retro consumer electronic, especially video game systems. Got Genesis, NES, Master System, TurboGrafx, Playstation, Saturn, and more with a small library of games all sitting up in my crib, on display. And of course biking and skating. Gotta have at least one sport.

I really hope this is more exaggerated Twitter babble. If you telling me out of every ten people I know only ONE of them will have a hobby or an artistic skill under their belt that is damn sad.

I couldn't live without my hobbies. I work a six figure job and I can tell you that if I didn't know how to draw and do the things I truly love I would feel like I have no purpose. Hobbies gives us a sense of purpose and significance as well as something to call our own and offer to the world.

The sight of dudes who's lives aint nothing but going to work, coming home, playing Playstation, and fukkin a bytch just makes me sad.

No true character. No traits. Nothing that truly makes you, you. Nothing to offer to the world, let alone a prospective partner I don't even know how to be content with such an existence.

I grew up a pretty insecure kid, so learning how to be resourceful with my own time and how to buildi my own character for the attention of others as much as I felt was necessary was very important to me. Perhaps some people dint need hobbies and crazy skills and intellectual interests to feel good about themselves. But there's gotta be something that sparks your curiosity, intellect, and gives you a drive in life. Even if you will never do it professionally. Even if it's something like a collecting.

But I will say, as far as the question of sexurity, in my family, it be the laziest motherfukkers with no hobbies or interests besides coming home and playing their video game collection that be the loudest and most trnse ones always telling others how to do things and live and always trying to assert dominance in every situation. And all of us who actually have skills and interests tend to be the most easy going, composed and happy. Go figure.

But going back to self-securtiy, I will say, in my family, it be the laziest family members of minr with no hobbies or interests or life really besides coming home and playing their video game collection that be the loudest ones always telling others how to do things and live and always trying to assert dominance in every situation. And all of us who actually have skills and interests tend to be the most easy going, composed and happy. Go figure. I got a close cousin who is always back seat driving other people. Always nagging others about how they're driving. He's one of those. I can't help but feel like if he had real shyt in his life to practice, study, and take pride in, being an annoying critic of everyones driving skills wouldn't bring him so much fulfillment.

A life filled with hobbies makes your life more interesting plus you gain a lot of knowledge and proficiency over a period of time

It costs a shyt ton of money though:pachaha:

Nobody brings up the cost of hobbies when talking about people not having hobbies. I’ve gotten into herbalism in the past few months, and have easily spent $500-$800 on herbs, bottles, jars, oils, books etc. And hobbies outside the home require gas, put more miles on your car, and cost money.

A lot of people work 5 days, and want to relax on the weekend. It doesn’t mean they’re bored, or boring. They just need time to relax, and not have to think about anything.

Top internet reasons why you're unhappy and unfulfilled:
  • You don't have God in your life
  • You don't have a family
  • You don't have a hobby
  • You're with the wrong person
  • You don't chase your dreams
  • You haven't found inner peace

I don't necessarily think it's people not having hobbies, it's not having the time or money to do them. Most people veg out to TV, social media, or they drink/smoke, sometimes in combination with each other. Those take minimal effort to do at the end of the day. Kinda sad actually.

I have/had a ton of hobbies, but in the last 7-8 years the only time I have time for my hobbies is when I'm neglecting other pressing shyt.

90% is definitely pulled out the ass, but a lot of people just don't have time or if they have time, they don't have the money.

People blow hobby money on fast food and shopping.

Reallocate those funds. Take some Brazilian jiu jitsu, have some fun
