Do you guys have hobbies?

I am not sure if I've seen that?

it's a channel about death but it's told in an entertaining and humourous way. She answers pretty much any question viewers have about funerals, embalming, etc to really bizarre stuff like coffin births or what happens to implants or hip replacements during cremation.

It's not as morbid as it sounds. She's an advocate for dignified deaths.

 

[TheGoodGuy]

I used to have many hobbies like: playing the guitar; composing music; writing novels, poems; calisthenics; long-distance running; reading books.
Guess what has left? Exactly, none.

Apathy and anhedonia is a bitch, if you haven´t already seen the two part episode of South Park called Ass Burgers you really should it´s like a short documentary about how people with apathy and anhedonia "feel"

 

[Underwhelming]

What music do you like?

Alot of stuff honestly. Mostly alternative/rap/punk and some indie stuff here and there. Pm me if you'd like to chat more, its a lot to type

 

[Skelebirb]

Taking care of animals and plants isn't that hard for me. Caring for things is just about the only thing I'm good at. I just don't have the money.

Are there any shelters near your area where you could foster a dog? I think most shelters cover costs and provide the supplies needed. I think you can foster cats too, but I'm not 100% sure...

 

[Gregorius]

I like to smoke (cigarettes) It calms me down and gives me a reason to go out. haha

I'm not sure. I will look into it when I have my own home again.

I love to write and to play games and to read. Nothing brings me joy anymore but I still try to fill myself out with it.

 

[Beautiful_Disgrace]

I can definitely relate. I feel like I've been so shit at everything I've ever tried to do in life. You're right about hiking, I love hiking because usually there isn't much competitive passion. I also like baking because it's easy enough. Sweet things taste sweet, people like sugar, I add lots of sugar and people become happy. People usually love my baked goods.

I've always been so anti-competetive. Like I just don't care if I'm winning, ever. I just want everyone to be happy. And I feel like this has really set me back in society. Not being able to conform to the games we have to play. Does anyone else feel that way?

It's weird because I don't like being competitive either but I have to be a perfectionist so I don't like when I'm clearly not adequate at something.

Even weirder is I never used to play games and expect to be good, but I acquired some strange taste in competitive games that get me more mad than happy but I will still try to get better...

 

[Cashewmilk]

I agree with many of you here, I have lot's of hobbies and things I could do, but I have no energy to do them. I'm sick and crippled.

 

[a.n.kirillov]

I used to play violin and piano.

Used to write letters, like the old fashioned way snail mail.

Hiking was a lot of fun. Hiking is really hard to be "bad" at.

I used to like to game as well. Video games, board games, card games etc..

Botany? Even if it's just a potted a plant it can be fulfilling.

Wow, just reading my own list made me realize how boring I am lol

pretty much this.

DJing and making sample based hiphop stuff, going on mountain hiking trips in the winter (so bordering on mountaineering) but I also often simply slept in the forest on working days and got up at 5 AM in the middle of the woods and went to work straight from there which was glorious, let me tell you! - also cooking, running and a a fuckton of houseplants - I currently have about 25 of them in a one room apartment.

But nowadays I just don't have the drive. I write more - depression seems to be good in a way for my writing, in that I only have little spurts of inspiration every one or two days that are high quality, which gives me lots of time to edit stuff out again. I can also keep my plants alive no matter how depressed I get. But the other stuff is just too taxing for me now. For example, I get the urge to make music again from time to time, but I can't even manage to get the equipment out of the garage and hook it up.

What kind of dance?

 

[Suicide_vampire]

I'm trying to learn bass guitar right now bought a cheap one then decided to get a more expensive one. A nice Epiphone Thunderbird IV also trying to read currently reading Please Kill Me - the uncensored oral history of punk. And watching music documentaries.

 

[porfin1234]

What kind of dance?

I mostly have done belly dancing but then a variety of other styles (Brazilian samba, hip hop, tango, bachata,zouk, etc)

 

[mediocre]

I love to draw. I have an ipad and have been using it pretty much 24 hours a day the last few months. Creating art really clears your mind.

Agreed!

Not one. What a boring, talentless existence I lead

What do you do to fill the boredom? It doesn't have to be something you're good at. Just want do you do to pass the time when you have nothing else to do.

Watch Netflix or YouTube videos... That's it. My abusive parents never let me get into any hobbies as it was a 'waste of time', and I don't have the energy or motivation to change that now

 

[skies]

I'm trying to go professional in some game I play, but it's really a huge mental thing and it's hard for me to keep motivation

 

[TStorm]

I like to write and draw. I've had little motivation to do either lately. I'm learning Japanese but I'm not sure why anymore. I wanted to visit Japan, but I doubt I ever will. It's still fun to learn, I suppose.

I can speak a bit of Japanese too. My partner is bilingual, he speaks English and German. He was born in Germany.

 

[Deformationalplagio]

I produce dubstep and drum and bass but lately i cant really focus on it due depresion. I also like to game and watch space docus etc

 

[Deleted member 13227]

Before my hobbies was playing piano, football and reading. Right now I spend my time cycling outside and playing pc games

 

[zeroambition]

I really enjoy lucid dreaming and watching dirt track racing.

 

[Myforevercharlie]

I draw and paint a lot. Been doing this for 5 years now, and i love to see im progressing. Who would have thought...

What game?

 

[skies]

CS:GO, it's a love hate relationship with the game

 

[oxymoron]

Like it's so hard for me to actually commit to getting good at anything. I don't ever have fun unless I'm being good at what I'm doing. I hate drawing ugly art but I know I won't get any better if I don't practice. But damn it's so hard for me to find the motivation to practice.

It's not just art. It's writing, gaming...I just don't want to be bothered doing anything when I'm shit at it.

I'd lot of them. I used to gym, play soccer, play my guitar and go running everyday. But no, life isn't for everyone. Things have to fuck themselves up even if you don't touch them. So now I sleep 12 hours a day, drive on the interstate for no reason and play cards online while smoking fucking 900000 cigarettes a day. Welcome to depression

 

[ArtsyDrawer]

I suppose claiming faucets and rolling cigarettes would fit. The former is a dire attempt to get any money into my pocket, the latter is an oddly effective form of meditation.
And it feeds my smoking addiction...
