How do I find a hobby I’m truly passionate about?

Hi Dads, I feel I don’t have any hobbies or passion. Everything I used to enjoy is just “meh” now. I don’t know how to find my passion. **What are some of your hobbies and how did you get into them?** Thanks in advance, guys!

I’ve got ADHD and I keep a bunch of hobbies I’m cool with it keeps things interesting. Right now I’m into 3D printing. I’m pretty steady wtih gaming, motorcycles, e‑bikes, snowboarding, guitar, and hitting the gym. I’d say find something that clicks for you, join a local FB group, and meet up with folks. I spent about a year on electric unicycles and met some fun people I still hang out with, even though I sold mine.

I have several passions that truly excite me. I love hockey and basketball. I'm a musician who plays multiple instruments and performs with various bands in the tri‑state area. I love video games and movies/TV shows. I'm a modest DIY mechanic, too. I love learning whatever new thing comes up when I work on my car. There are so many things out there that spark my brain and creativity.

I’ve started playing disc golf and I love it! It’s a sport that gets me outdoors, doesn’t demand extreme athleticism, and still feeds my competitive side when I want it.

Start working on yourself… either physical, mental, intellectual.
You won't know until you try.
If you have a dog(s), take them for a walk every day.

Good Luck

Been making toy wooden planes for my boys to throw around.
I’ve been a car guy all my life but this past Christmas I’ve made a pile of hand‑made toys for my kiddos.

This one was just in for field testing (lol) before the final coat of paint (kid safe).

Now I have the itch to get back in the shop to make more! Possibly a boat next!

Well. I no longer get to do what I used to love because I am with my daughter almost all the time when I’m not working. I love smoking meat and cooking for my family and neighbors. I teach my kid while I do it. This year I will start making our own bacon and bread. All of it is fun, challenging, brings people together, and keeps me busy at home instead of just watching movies.

Grilling maybe with a glass of whiskey. Grilling with a glass of whiskey and a nice cigar. Growing succulents. Reading. Learning how to play guitar (this one not going well). Try different things until you feel passionate about something.

I make fishing rods just some manly arts and crafts. It keeps my ADHD and OCD happy when everything looks good and is finished. I got into it after I broke a guide on a pole and wanted to fix it, got carried away, and now I’m building my sixth custom rod.

Photography has become an interesting side hobby lately.

My wife and I both work full time, and we live 10,000 miles from family; we have no one to look after our two‑year‑old. It is just the two of us. When I am able to find a few minutes for myself, I prefer to stare at a blank wall. It is a pleasant experience.

I hit the gym, then spawn into rec basketball and hockey. I’m also revved on cars, jam on a few instruments, and yeah oddly into hygiene stuff. I love testing out weird new gear and sticking to my routines 😂

I'm into cars, sim racing, and a workout lifestyle. I'm 35 and have been doing this for 25 years. I believe life has no meaning without hobbies. Find something you love and do it as much as possible.
