It's getting harder and harder for me to enjoy things as well. I miss writing.
Yes, I miss the hell outta writing. But now all I can do is miss it to hell. Can't even sit down to finish a game I wanted to play cuz the next moment I just wanna do nothing.

I don't really have hobbies anymore. I used to be a pretty talented musician, but life changed.

Now I scour the internet for health articles and work on my portfolio during lockdown. I still enjoy cooking though.

I don't have any hobbies anymore because I can't use my body. I used to be very athletic and liked cooking and decorating, all of which you need a body to do all those things. I'm so sick everyday with unexplainable nausea all I can do is sit on the internet. I cant stand anymore from pain in my heels tailbone, and knees. My body has been ravaged by Pharma's Vaccines, Lyme Disease, and who knows what else. My body has permanent damage. I know i'm on my way to death anyhow considering how sick I am so i'm just bringing death sooner. My stomach has been extremely ill for 3 months now. I came down with a super strong virus, wondering if it was Corona.. in Feb, and never recovered fully. My stomach is so sick I feel like i'm on the verge of puking all day every day. I feel green all day long. I wonder if I have Cancer. I don't bother to go to the Doctor because all they do is treat me like crap and ignore me anyway. I went to my GP and told her I had a sick stomach for 2 months. She did not care or order any tests or anything, just told me to go see another doctor. Hey lady, sick people can't go to a million doctors. Do your job! Anyway, they never help and have always treated me like crap. I give up.

I've been wanting to get into programming, too! I've been taking some coding classes online but it's super hard for me to focus.


- I really love doing makeup, it's probably the only thing that really calms my head. Even being stuck inside now, I'll play around with it to ease my anxiety.

- Video games! I was in the middle of playing some titles on my Xbox but I've mainly been playing Animal Crossing right now. When I'm not playing, I usually have Twitch on my TV.

I think that's it :ahhha: It's been super hard to keep interested in things over the years.

I've had plenty and I am against having hobbies. Keeping up a functional life, where you do useful things and reap their fruit, is enough of a task for any human being. Instead of going to a pottery class or dancing or whatever, everybody should learn to stay the fuck home and cook real meals and do real things that actually yield a semblance of the grown-up lives that our ancestors had. It is an endless kindergarten with everybody wasting their time in completely futile pursuits.

I found this Youtube video called "How to Trick Your Brain Into Enjoying Hard Things" or something like that. The channel is called Better Than Yesterday. It's an animated explainer that talks about dopamine detox as a method for getting yourself to be more interested in those hobbies you describe. I thought it was very well explained. Maybe that will help.

I have a myriad of interests that i couldn't possibly fit on here, but my main interests at the moment are paleontology, space, and music. Specifically making music which i've been studying for the past say month or so.

Though i have substantial knowledge of computer hardware, networking, other tech related fields.

Some hobbies I enjoy:
- learning & making healthy foods (I like to take regular dessert recipes but tweak them to make them healthier ie. replace sugar with applesauce etc.)
- arm knit simple things
- travel (but cannot now due to COVID 19)
- read/learn new languages
- have friends over (once lock down is over, I will have my group of close & longtime friends over & I will make my last meal for them) I will just say something like, "This lock down made me take for granted get together. Let's hang out again." I will leave it at that. I just hope I don't let words slip out and cause people to ask questions.

I see that a woman held a party for her friends before she ctb. Here is the link to video:

It's so interesting to read what everyone enjoys.

I hadn't been much of a 'hobby' person as such but not long before lockdown I really got into bouldering (climbing without ropes) and I'm obsessed with watching ninja like professionals boulder online!

I'm a regular gig go-er (math/post/prog rock etc are my loves and most people who like that music are also massive introverts like me so it fits haha)

Quite political and listen a lot of in depth political news / podcasts (classic BBC radio 4 type stuff for any UK folks) . Not sure if thats a hobby or not though. But like @FireFox election nights are my FAVE night. Think i treat them like Americans tend to treat the superbowl

Hiking. Love open, wild spaces with few people around.

Watching two pigeons nesting on my little balcony is a recent addition. They've become my lockdown interest and i feel I've almost adopted them.

Think thats it!

I play a few instruments at an average level. Music is the best thing I have, but I don't easily get joy out of listening to it. I like prog rock, classical and metal equally. I try to compose piano music sometimes.

Anime is a great new hobby for me. I also like to play games, but I'm really casual. I exercise sometimes, but could do it more.

I read books before, but I haven't read one in years, except for school.

i feel this so much. playing video games, painting, drawing, finding new music to listen to, writing, reading, going for drives– nothings really doing it for me anymore. i feel like i'm becoming numb to everything that ever used to spark joy in my life and i'm not sure how to fix it.

I used to be rather physically active with climbing and strength training but I kinda crippled myself, so I can't pursue that anymore, sadly. Nowadays I'd say it's pretty much just video games, the occasional manga I read and, what I got into a few months ago, lego-esque products. There are companies like like Cobi, Xingbao and Sluban (just to name a few) who sell warfare themed sets, for example tanks, helicopters, combatants with guns, cannons, buildings etc. I really like building, modifying and playing with them and imagine the stats of the guns, factions, campaigns etc. I wouldn't say it's childish, the box says it's for ages 6-99 after all :ahhha:. And I started drinking a lot lately, although I doubt that counts as a hobby. But yeah, those things are alright to empty the mind and pass some time. I wouldn't have any energy for more anyway.
