What's your hobby or hobbies?

Personally: Hiking, biking, photography, DnD, and fixing things.

It sounds like a lot (because it is lol) but with ADHD having a group of hobbies I can orbit around (especially if they can overlap (like these ones))can help me avoid diving into too many new hobbies.

Writing poems, stories, playing games, singing, listening to any kinds of music, or just basically anything that would kill time

Before kid: Reading, astronomy, cross-fit, nail polish, coloring, playing the Sims, cross-stitching, DnD.

After kid: Sleeping, DnD, cross-stitching, and a little tiny bit of astronomy (involves bargaining with spouse).

Writing and developing original characters. Usually I have 0 motivation to write short stories for them, but I have endless inspiration that I jot down in my notes. I also like rewatching my favourite shows and movies (lately that has been The Office US and Breaking Bad).

Edit: maybe it doesn’t count as a hobby, but lately I’ve been finding myself trying to be more outward and daring. Carefully testing my limits socially and stuff like that. And I do feel good about how more straightforward and confident I’ve become.

My main hobby is critical listening (aka listening to music like a pseudo-audiophile)

Some other hobbies I have include watching cartoons, music production (still really bad at it), and collecting old electronics.

I have two jobs so some reading is all I can manage time wise. I'm jealous of your hobbies.

Flying airplanes. It's a great community and I've made life-long friends, gone to some amazing places and seen awesome things. My daughter just got me back into SCUBA diving also because she wanted to get certified.

ADHD kept me from being able to engage. I don’t get a reward out of it so basically don’t have hobbies.

So sorry to hear that, for me before I actually got diagnosed I was basically bouncing from interest to interest like a pinball

But actually getting diagnosed and then addressing my ADHD allowed me to lock in some hobbies which has been amazing so far

stoly ,

I used to get that years ago but I think life's traumas kinda broke my ability to experience pleasure, so I no longer seek it out. I don't experience pleasure or joy from activities or people and basically don't engage in either.

Solo game developer (and fellow ADHD-haver) here. I do the coding, 3d modelling, animations, and even a little bit of sound design. It's all incredibly time-consuming though.

Ooh what are you on with atm? I'm embroiled in a minimalist city builder thing and just got to the part where I need to learn to animate things, which I have been full-on dreading.

ExtraMedicated ,

I use Blender for most of my animating needs. And using Houdini Indie has helped me to start thinking about asset creation in a more procedural way, which helped when I needed to make my own building generator.

This week I've been trying to figure out a way to load user-created characters and skins in a multiplayer game. My character setup scripts seem to work, but still a ton of hurtles to get over.

MrsDoyle ,

Knitting, rowing, beekeeping, walking, photography, computers (tinkering, running websites for other people), reading. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with activities, and lately I've not done as much photography as I'd like. But I really enjoy everything I do - I have a great bunch of friends with overlapping interests.

i write, short stories mostly existential horror, and "essays" about anything i find interesting (that really just means i ramble about things i find interesting for several hundred-1000+ words on tumblr); also i made and maintain a personal website, i make mods and themes for things other people make cuz i don't code enough to make anything of my own; sometimes i make videos but i'm generally too shy to do that regularly; i play video games; i collect plushies; and i recentlyish picked up making pixel art

i also want to get into crochet, cooking, and gardening but my time with those has so far mostly just been using social media to see what other people do. i mean i cook but wouldn't classify how i do cooking as a hobby lol

i have adhd too, also i'm agoraphobic, and in addition to ideally being able to orbit around several hobbies i also just need things to fill in my time since i don't get outside very often

Fermentation! (sourdough, beer, cider, veggies, used to yogurt, some day cheese)

3d printing (mostly functional, but some fun parts. I'm really trying to understand the boundaries so I can push them.)

I've taken up crochet for a while now and it seems to be a keeper (I tend to flit between hobbies a lot). I guess what makes this different is that a lot of the things I make are for others. My daughter loves the bracelets I make for her (the ones I'm not keeping for myself :) And recently I made a little bunny as a going away present. Having a goal like that is a great motivator.
I hope it'll stick, because I do love it as a hobby. There's still so much to learn.
