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.

Reading, pole dancing, jigsaws and walking

CounsellorTroi · 27/06/2022 13:47

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

reenon · 27/06/2022 13:51

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!

BellyDancer124 · 27/06/2022 13:52

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.

Libre2 · 27/06/2022 13:56

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.

spinachmonster · 27/06/2022 13:58

Pottery. Best thing ever!

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
