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. |

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.

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. |

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

knuxnole posted...Playing video games 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

Also, what is bad about mindlessly consuming media? That’s what we all do 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*

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".

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.

I don’t have any skills sucking at something is the first step towards being sorta good at something also, I'm kinda surprised you didn't list pooping as one of your hobbies |

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.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've". |

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.
