What are your hobbies? (beehaw.org)

Hey folks,

I have been trying to find some new hobbies to keep my anxiety/depression at bay. It seems, however, that my mind is not creative enough to find interesting things to do. So, I come to you to ask: What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?

Here are the things I've tried:

Going to the gym (This is more of a habit than a hobby nowadays)
Gaming (I've been getting less and less out of it as I get older)
Bouldering (It's fun, but not without a group of friends)
TTRPG (I can't seem to find a steady group or one online, but otherwise, it's very enjoyable)
Learning a new instrument (I started playing the guitar and I love it)
Philosophy (Is that a hobby? I enjoy reading and reflecting on it)

So, folks, what are your favorite pastimes?

Thanks :)

My hobby is collecting hobbies. If I listed all of the ones I pick up and put down I’d be here all day, so here are the most consistent ones:

Gundam model kits
Postcrossing and snail mail swapping
Crochet
Learning Japanese (for a combination of pop culture appreciation and keeping my brain sharp)
