Aren’t hobbies things you do to have fun? None of my hobbies make me have any skills or strength: Playing video games Watching movies Watching tv Listening to music Eating Drinking Sleeping Hanging out with friends Shopping IDK if that is what pretentious yuppies say, who knows. I don’t even have any skills.

Playing video games can help hand-eye coordination
Eating/Drinking can improve your palette
etc
You won't develop any skills if you aren't going into your hobby with that intention.
Like, listening to music, for example. Person A just listens to it to listen while Person B is listening to the music to dissect it and understand it more.
It's really the amount of effort you put in ultimately affecting what you get out of it.
You might wanna rethink your finances if shopping is something you do for fun. That can very quickly turn un-fun if you don't have the money to afford your expenses.

Not every week probably every 3-4 weeks I go shopping I don’t like to dissect music I just like to listen I mainly do my hobbies for fun, to pass time for the day

When people are talking about hobbies in that sense they usually mean some kind of craft or exercise, not just existing in an entertaining way.

try getting a hobby that is something other than mindlessly consuming media

This. Basically actively learning and improving in something.

Would you consider reading to be mindless consumption?

Arguably watching TV/movies and listening to music are pastimes not hobbies. But even then you can learn from them, for instance if you're studying a foreign language and watching/listening to media in that language.

Playing video games
Depending on the game it can develop all sorts of intellectual skills. Reaction time, planning and strategy, reaction to emergencies, pattern recognition, etc. The others...ehhhh I wouldn't even call them hobbies. They're just leisure activities and basic human functions.

There aren’t any That’s mainly what I enjoy for fun I don’t like to play sports or do hard physical work. Or make things. I’d rather listen to music or watch a tv show or play a game than make them Or eat and drink food rather than make them

To me, some basic human functions are fun lol I guess I consider hobbies “things I do for fun” What’s the right word for that if hobbies aren’t?

Then that's your prerogative and you should be thankful you live in a society where you can enjoy your free time the way you see fit?

Which is true for all of us. That’s life Some people like to create. I am meant to consume. That’s my purpose. My hobbies aren’t meant to make me have skills. The ones that involve crafting exercising or learning are probably not things I find fun

If I hadn't started doing amateur theatre I assuredly wouldn't have ended up with the confidence I do and the talking/presenting skills that I have.
Wouldn't be as good at job interviews so it's had a real tangible impact on my career and earnings.

Also, what is bad about mindlessly consuming media? That’s what we all do Literally that’s what I do every day for my entire life, and my life goal until death

I think nowadays the amount of time some people sink into consuming media negatively affects the time they are able/willing to put into developing other areas of their life - relationships, learning, travelling, experiences - which I suspect many people on their death bed will wish they done more of, rather than having seen that extra season of some show.

Honestly I would regret not playing 2 games on my backlog than “traveling” somewhere I would find boring I hate traveling. Never left my home state and don’t want to tbh. I hate learning reminds me of school I’ve experienced a lot tbh I got friends. Don’t want marriage or kids *shudders*

Hey if you're happy doing what you're doing then who cares if they develop skills. I disagree with you on just about everything but I'm not gonna tell you what should make you happy.

Yeah at this point you should realize that literally no one cares how you live your life and no one is going to try to tell you how to live your life despite repeated requests for the same.

It doesn't sound like you're experiencing much at all in the grand scheme of things tbh, but if you're genuinely happy with this life then that's more than half the battle - lots of people are unhappy and unsatisfied with their situation.

lol why do you disagree? Just out of curiousity, wouldn't you AGREE? If I did the opposite or agree with your life standing, I'd be miserable 1000%. Not everyone has the same purpose. There are people that meant to live and consume. There are others that love to create. So, in essence, they create things for me to enjoy. I'm more of a receiver not a giver haha. That's my "class".

True it depends though For me. I play videogames for fun, lots of MARIO, Zelda, sonic. RPG an sfighters

A lot of traditional hobbies are based around some skill. Sewing, car repair, crafts, etc. For me, I like to build furniture and longbows. There have always been hobbies that don't have as tangible of products and therefore the skills are more abstract. For example, people who like puzzles can build logic, but there is no end result to judge and the skill is not really measurable in the conventional sense, so it's harder to gauge.

it seems like youre living quite the empty life. i doubt there are many people who on their death bed wish they had watched more tv/played more video games.

Did TC really list some basic life functions as hobbies? >_>
Edit: Nvm I see this was addressed.

This. Let's make a distinction between just a "pastime" and an actual "hobby".
There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

It’s not empty. If I was on my deathbed, I would hope 1) to finish my backlog of games 2) finish seasons of tv shows What else would I fill it with besides my interests? I have everything I need! Travel? I hate it. I would be SO bored. I would be on my phone the whole time. I don’t want to leave me home state lol My interests are my fulfillment. My possessions are my prize things of value!

Not gonna lie, video games have made me far better at laparoscopic surgery than the peers in my year. Like, noticeably better.

videogames for decision making and abstract problem solving. music with rythm that might translate to dancing and/or singing. shopping, planning and organization. watchung movies might present some interesting idea that you want to try and become succsessful at it. doing something multiple times is enough for you to become efficient at it, which is another way of beign called "skilled at X thing" just think a bit further on what you do and how much better you have become at your shit, it's pretty simple.
