I feel bullied by this question

I really just play video games, and the game I was best at was Rocket League. When I played, I was in the top rank and would regularly end up in matches with actual pros. I wanted to try going to RLCS, but I could never find teammates to sign up with.

But I also have 100% achievements in all 3 dark souls and elden ring, while currently going for Bloodborne’s. Sekiro I haven’t even beaten yet… Gonna have to cheese Owl.

Jack of all trades; master of none.

Depends on the hobby. I tend to collect hobbies and then grow bored of them, then return to them a while later.

I’ll become absolutely obsessed with learning about “hobby x”, and spend two months basically getting as close to an expert on it as I can with self-teaching. (Video Editing, filmmaking, screenwriting, 3D modelling for flight simulators, Graphic Design, etc…)

Then I’ll grow bored and move onto a new obsession from the above list, focus on that long enough that at least 25% of my knowledge of the previous obsession vanishes and I have to relearn a bunch the next time that obsession rolls around.

I’ve been told that’s possibly ADHD, but since I suffer from depression I’ll take my bursts of obsessiveness over lack of any motivation any day.

I am an aggressively mediocre singer but the 2 hour rehearsal on Monday is the highlight of my week. It’s so fucking fun man!

I think it is a trap to think about it this way. My hobbies are meant to bring me joy and challenge, no matter what level i am on

Best part of having hobbies is that you don’t need to be good!

Unless it’s programming or sysadmin, I’m mediocre at all my hobbies, but I enjoy them a lot. It’s great not feeling pressured to do them professionally like a paid job.

Why do you have to bring up my shortcomings like that?

I barely start them and then I jump to something else. I have a big problem

A hobby becomes a job when you worry if you are good at it.

Awful! But the fun is having something i don’t need to be good at. Though i now have a lot of things i’m at least mediocre at, those are just old hobbies.

I usually learn my hobbies at small fraction of the rate i would have learned something in school. Years instead of weeks/months. I learn them deeper this way and don’t develop burnout.

• Creating games: Good enough that my IT teacher was impressed enough that he recommended that I go into the game industry

• Drawing: Good enough that I’ve got hundreds of followers and a lot of people like my art

• Games: I can beat the original Pikmin in 7 in-game days and I also beat Mushihimesama Futari’s final boss on Ultra Mode.

As good as I care to be. Hobbies are supposed to be fun.

Type 2 fun and overthinking. I am good at enjoying both.

Bouldering: I enjoy it, even though I’m not great at it. My short wingspan doesn’t help, and neither does my fear of heights. Every climb is a mix of determination and second-guessing my life choices and I’m excellent at the latest.

Gardening: It sounds relaxing, but in reality, it’s a cycle of overthinking. First, I stress about planting. Then I wait. And once/if it grows, there’s a whole lineup of threats: slugs, cats, deer, boars, hail… basically, everything conspiring against success. Not sure what I enjoy about it but I’d say I am moderately successful and can eat a self planted potato every year
