Something I never understood. Interests are things you like to do for fun. If I like it, thats what matters. When people ask what I like to do in my spare time, I say things like:

Videogames
Watching tv
Listening to music
Eating
Drinking
Sleeping
Shopping

I do things Im passionate about and make me happy. But some say that people should have interesting hobbies. But I dont like a LOT of things lol

I think they cant relate to your interests or your hobbies. I use both interests and hobbies here because I believe they're levels of this stuff. hobbies have more depth in investment than the broad interests you have. sure they share a link together but I am very sure you can talk about your favorite hobby much longer than some stuff you're simply interested in, right?

lets say sports.
hobby - you play a team sport for an organized adult league such as baseball hockey football soccer or bowling

interest - you're a fan of basketball football hockey or soccer

the love of the sport for interest and hobby is not better than the other, it's just expressed differently. those who take part in their sport often match skill for skill in competition then their team is ranked based on team performance. that last place team can be better. the first place team can fall to lower places in the league if they cannot consistently perform better than the other teams. individual team members are recognized.

when someone asks you these things it's to see what you both share common interests or common hobbies in. usually an activity shows how much of a personal investment it is. most activities are active while some are passive. activities can be reading writing collecting crafting or playing.

so i believe the other person is looking for more active stuff you're into when they say the stuff you're into is boring. it's all relative comparing this stuff to each other. that person finds it boring while the next can relate and actually talk about the stuff you share common interests or common hobby in

we use sleep as a means to recovering lost hours during the night. helps us get through the rest of the day.
not everyone can stay up for an entire day after waking up.

TC thinking "living a normal life" is hobbies LOL.

You produce nothing with any of those, and nobody is interested in talking to you about them. Nobody cares what you consume. You have nothing to teach anybody because all you do is consume.

Which is fine, but you're super boring and don't offer anything worth even somebody's attention.

Living a normal life IS how I spend my spare time.

Consuming things are good. Thats how I spend 100% of my time tbh

Why the hell would I want to produce anything? I have nothing to teach, why would I?

There is nothing else I would enjoy tbh. If you named 5 hobbies I wouldnt like 4 of them.

Interests are about things you do for fun. They are never about what you offer.

If thats the case, I offer nothing lmao. I offer the ability to eat and drink and watch tv and play a game. I offer being human and living!

Because they want to feel better about their own habits and ideas.

Basically, "Because they want to feel better about themselves." is the answer to most questions involving human behavior.

You don't have to produce anything for it to be a hobby tbh. The dictionary definition of hobby is an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation.

The second part is what makes you boring and uninteresting.

Having nothing but consumption-based hobbies makes someone a boring person.

Not a bad person. Not a person who isn't worth talking to whatsoever. Just a boring person.

So I just omit sleeping from the list? Thats fine Cause Ill say the other stuff which should be good

Thats all I do with my spare time. All of it. I cant name any other hobbies I would like

And I dunno any active hobbies or producing hobbies I would care for.

Im a textbook consumer. I like to use what others made for my enjoyment.

They are stuff I tell people if they ask what I do for fun.

Not the first though

If they ask hobbies I usually say videogames, lounging around, watch tv, and go out to eat and drink alcohol. And surf the internet. Thats it

I dont know what active hobbies are. I prObably would hate all of them. I love to consume not produce or teach
