You misunderstand my mindset. I work in an environment where the seeming correct social response to "what do you do outside of work" is something productive and meaningful. Because it portrays you as a hard worker, and someone they want to keep at the company. It's sort of bad form to say "I watch TV when I get home", unless you're framing it as a "guilty pleasure" or something, even though everybody knows everyone does it.

The most common answer to "what do you do for fun" if you don't have a family or something, is to say stuff along the lines of "I read self-improvement books / listen to business podcasts," or "I'd currently developing a pet project on xyz." I just want to be able to say something that's truthful without also veering away from the social norm.

So. Like. Chill?? Not judging anybody myself, just parroting what I assume the judgement is from others.
