Personally: Hiking, biking, photography, DnD, and fixing things.

It sounds like a lot (because it is lol) but with ADHD having a group of hobbies I can orbit around (especially if they can overlap (like these ones))can help me avoid diving into too many new hobbies.

ADHD kept me from being able to engage. I don’t get a reward out of it so basically don’t have hobbies.

So sorry to hear that, for me before I actually got diagnosed I was basically bouncing from interest to interest like a pinball

But actually getting diagnosed and then addressing my ADHD allowed me to lock in some hobbies which has been amazing so far

I used to get that years ago but I think life's traumas kinda broke my ability to experience pleasure, so I no longer seek it out. I don't experience pleasure or joy from activities or people and basically don't engage in either.
