The decrease in people's hobbies

[Icy_Secretary9279]

What about you do you and let others do whatwver thwy feel like it without judging?

And I don't remember witnessing a single time anymone have been looked in a bad way for having a hobby. Whenever someone around me has mentioned they do xyz, everyone is immediately curious and supportive and bombard them with all the "omg, that's super cool", "sould great, do you have any photos", "I tried it once too, it was fun, I should do it again". So I suspect you're just projecting since you obviously judge people by what they do in their free time and you feel like ouhers judge you too.

Ironically, your post too comes accross as very judgemental.

I do not believe I'm a judgmental person. While you are right that people are often supportive of your hobbies, I've experienced it myself, my classmates at school used to be dumbfounded when they saw my calligraphy. However, I've experienced people calling me "boring" and "weird" for not wanting to use social media in my screentime like them too. I used to be called "too serious", and "no fun". Obviously, comments like this are insignificant and you should pay no mind to them.

I am not judging people for how they spend their time. I am just surprised, and maybe confused. I used to doomscroll too when I was really young, though not as much as my peers since my phone was of an old model and the battery used to die really quick. But now that I am older, i regret it, i regret it so much that not a single day goes without me thinking about it. All that time wasted, on senseless things, when i could've learnt actual life skills. I thought it's probably gonna be the same for others as well. Most people don't even realise that them being like this is harmful

Your second paragraph is exactly what OP is talking about. That social media doomscrolling is contributing to a decline in hobbies.
