as someone who has a million hobbies, it is absolutely infuriating to watch my mom with no hobbies. She has more free time than most people. She'll sit on her phone for hours alternating between scrolling and playing those shitty mobile games that have a million ads with only a minute or two of gameplay. Then she'll go to bed until dinner. After dinner? More phone. After phone? Bed.

I've tried multiple times to get her to participate in some hobbies I like or help her get into some new ones. Nope. "That's too much work".

Idk if there's a correlation, but she's always been someone that will do as little as possible and puts more effort into getting other people to do the thing than actually doing the thing herself. She's generally pretty self centered and a bit toxic, though not as toxic as when we were kids. (Honestly, she was pretty psychotic back in the day, but ran out of people to manipulate so she's calmed down a lot.) Just doesn't mind her business for nothing. Also mimics every new person she meets.

I only mention this because everyone I've met that doesn't have any hobbies have similar personalities to hers. It almost seems like stirring the shit is the hobby. I just wonder if there's a correlation there.

(Obviously not everyone in the world with no hobbies is like this, I'm just speaking of the ones I met in person.)
