To ask what hobby you do?

Becoming more and more aware that I don't have any hobbies and aside from work I have nothing to talk about when catching up with friends.

I don't have any obvious interests that could lead into a hobby.

AIBU to ask you for ideas for a hobby?

Perhaps it is something you do or have done and can offer some insight into it.

I'm thinking something with other people rather than a solo thing.

Sport. Reading.

RagzRebooted · 27/06/2022 13:45

Does reading count? Otherwise, no I don't have a hobby. I'd like one though!

TheWayoftheLeaf · 27/06/2022 13:46

Reading, travelling, bit of embroidery, bit of badminton when it's sunny, Pilates, cooking.

Would say cooking and reading are my main passions.

Natural history/wildlife. Rowing. Running. Cycling.

TheBitchOfTheVicar · 27/06/2022 13:49

I run and I sing in a choir. But it doesn't give me anything to talk about with my friends as none of us really chat about hobbies unless we share them

Notadramallama · 27/06/2022 13:50

salsa, running, hiking, reading, riding, gym

SockQueen · 27/06/2022 13:51

I'm a Brownie leader which takes up quite a lot of my time, and I dabble in pretty basic crochet/knitting/cross stitch. I'd love to have time for more and do some sport but just can't fit it in

I'm an England Athletics Official. Keeps me busy during the summer, travel all over the place. Always meeting new people.

CaptainThe95thRifles · 27/06/2022 13:51

Archery, of the traditional rather than modern kind. Not that I have many people to talk to about it!

Reading, watching Sport live, baking, garden, crochet on occasions, I suppose Netflix to too if I am entirely honest how I spend free time.

withiceplease · 27/06/2022 13:55

I'm considering joining a local walking group now that generally free from DC. I go to the gym but no one talks to each other there.
It's difficult because I split my time between 2 places. I feel a bit uncertain about the walking group as I don't know anyone in the group and they look jolly on their fb group so I wonder if I'd be welcomed if they are already a cohesive group.

As another PP - run and sing in a choir (not simultaneously though). I also go to church which whilst not a hobby takes up a reasonable amount of time with the various things I am involved with there and also gets me in touch with lots of different people.

Apocalyptichorsewoman · 27/06/2022 13:57

Horse riding, I play cricket for the womens team for our town, I cycle ( but only to get from A to B ) I also like jigsaws and reading.

Scienceteacher1986 · 27/06/2022 14:01

Hiking, cooking, reading, clay pigeon shooting

sunflowerdaisyrose · 27/06/2022 14:03

I run with friends/volunteer at parkrun, go to a book club and sing in a choir. I don't really talk about them much to other friends, but do talk to the friends I've made doing the activities and see a lot of them socially too.

Wazzawoowaa · 27/06/2022 14:04

Reading, walking and gaming.

twistyizzy · 27/06/2022 14:06

Pilates and horse riding/owning. Due to the latter I have no time to do anything else!

Scottishflower65 · 27/06/2022 14:16
