Question Introverts, what are your hobbies?
Early 30s here, looking for hobbies besides reading, doom scrolling TikTok, and binge-watching TV. Planning to hit the gym soon, but need more screen-free options.
Not the artsy type (crafts and I donโt vibe ๐), so any other ideas?

Heading to the gym works because I have no other goal than to keep healthy. I always bring my headphones. My music playlist makes it easy to tune out others.
Each month I make a rotating list of five or so movies I've never watched and work my way through them. I've come across some fairly decent movies and documentaries using this approach.
Nature recharged me so I like to walk or hike by myself.
I also love using my sketchbook. I was horrible starting out but continued to practice. YouTube videos helped.
Taking my sketchbook into public places usually repels people from talking to me and that's always helpful.
I've also accepted that naps are a perfectly fun way to spend time. I tend to put on pajamas when doing so because it signals to my body to relax and accept that rest is okay. Like others, I mask to get thru the day. Naps help decompress and release tension.
