Personally: Hiking, biking, photography, DnD, and fixing things.

It sounds like a lot (because it is lol) but with ADHD having a group of hobbies I can orbit around (especially if they can overlap (like these ones))can help me avoid diving into too many new hobbies.

    Before kid: Reading, astronomy, cross-fit, nail polish, coloring, playing the Sims, cross-stitching, DnD.

    After kid: Sleeping, DnD, cross-stitching, and a little tiny bit of astronomy (involves bargaining with spouse).

    My main hobby is critical listening (aka listening to music like a pseudo-audiophile)

    Some other hobbies I have include watching cartoons, music production (still really bad at it), and collecting old electronics.

    My hobbies are making things, growing things, and learning things.

    It’s the only way I can keep it to only 3 hobbies.

    Writing poems, stories, playing games, singing, listening to any kinds of music, or just basically anything that would kill time

        I’m happy to hear that you escaped homelessness that and that you now have time/money for hobbies! I hope to get back there someday.

        Also, just thanks for being kind.

          It was honestly the second hardest thing I’ve ever done, the only thing that beats it in difficulty was beating my alcoholism

          There were times where it felt all hope was lost but having even a small spark of hope was what made it possible to make it to the other side of those times

          Never lose hope

    Making things, mostly.

    Lots of crafts like knitting, crochet, cross stitch, sewing, felting, origami, faffing about with clay, etc etc. And gamedev which I basically think of as the same sort of hobby because it’s just making a different sort of thing.

    Making YouTube videos about all of the above, in defiance of the algorithm gods.

    Reading any and all scifi I can get my hands on, plus the Discworld series just over and over again endlessly on a loop.

    Also the amount of time I spend on Mastodon and Lemmy probably means it counts as a rather lame hobby at this point…

    Writing and developing original characters. Usually I have 0 motivation to write short stories for them, but I have endless inspiration that I jot down in my notes. I also like rewatching my favourite shows and movies (lately that has been The Office US and Breaking Bad).

    Edit: maybe it doesn’t count as a hobby, but lately I’ve been finding myself trying to be more outward and daring. Carefully testing my limits socially and stuff like that. And I do feel good about how more straightforward and confident I’ve become.
