Hobbies?

Hi Everyone!

So I was thinking today, woah, without going out to eat all the time, and since I can't eat much...food is not a hobby lol.

Then I thought, what do I do that's considered a hobby? And then I had another thought of "Oh my God I'm such a loser! I HAVE NO HOBBIES?"

I'm always doing what everyone else wants to do and just going with the flow to make others happy but what am I doing to make myself happy?

Getting my nails done and shopping are not hobbies lol. Any ideas?

I used to love DIYing stuff and fixing things up but then I started hoarding things and spending wayyyy too much just to refurbish things as a hobby lol

I'm also the type of person that is extremely lazy and bad at sticking to things so things like knitting and hiking or spinning classes sound super unappealing.

I was thinking about a dance class, but by the time I get home from work its like 7pm and it's just not realistic.

I'm 25 and live in Los Angeles. Any ideas for hobbies? Tell me what you all do as hobbies to keep busy and stay happy. Any suggestions are welcomed! lol

Video Games (multiplayer)
Xbox, PlayStation. Not stupid cell phone games.

There are great time consumers. If I play a basic first person shooter, it's 20-30 minutes per match usually. Can't eat, and both hands are on a controller. More entertaining than TV, and no pause button or opportunity to get snacks. The games inventivise you to keep playing for "experience points" to get things to play better with in-game.

I am stoked! I have in my hands the new South Park game Fractured But Whole game.

Consider photography. Join a local Meetup photography group. It's something you can do on your own, and use software for post processing. And local Meetups usually have planned outdoor activities like photo walks. Forces you to think outside the box. I've done a forklift graveyard, and an abandoned school for example.
