    I don't understand playing video games for hours. I've known people whose only hobby is gaming....I just don't get it.

    or watching tv/ movies

    I need to feel like I am accomplishing something with my hobbies.

    Bunjee jumping, skydiving, anything involving putting your life in danger for a "thrill"...?

    Dancing, I just don't get it. Your surrounded by people, the music is blaring, and your working your butt off to stay in rhythm with your partner. Like...why? The only fun sounding thing about that, being close with your partner.

    If you want to be close, you can do just as well watching the stars together, or snuggling on the couch. Why all the extra stimulation?

    I so agree. I've never enjoyed dancing. When I was younger I faked it, but as I got older I just stopped and said no thanks.

    The eating challenges. My husband loves watching these competitions. It's just not my thing.

    Same. I do like watching movies/TV but when people binge watch a different series all weekend, every weekend, or watch like 14 old VHS movies in a single weekend (friends of ours actually did this last weekend while at a rented cabin) I'm confused. It's not a judgy thing just very weird to me because I can't imagine. I like to watch a movie then do something else.

    Agree so much! I feel like I'm wasting time and it's really not meaningful or very entertaining. I would love for someone to explain to me why they spend their time like this and what value it adds. I'm sure it helps some people relax but it makes me antsy because I'm not doing anything!
