    Depends on your definition. I see them as hobbies or interests. Would probably need to ask someone if they are sufficiently deep.

      I was super into psychology for a time. Even got my degree in it. But living with my mom and being her ‘therapist’ killed psychology for me. Any particular element of psychology you enjoy?

        Not necessarily enjoy but a lot of useful stuff. I grew up in a rather peculiar situation so it was never fun and no degree.

        Particular helpful things for me were clinical psychology such as transactional analysis, knowing about mental disorders and understanding the diagnostic process.

        Dont get me wrong: its very interesting and I really enjoy learning about it. Just a lot of bad memories attached to it.

    World of Warcraft, but I get burned out like clockwork hah. Anime falls into my interests though I don’t just watch the same show over and over instead I watch a lot of the seasonal stuff. Then between seasons (so like we’re in Winter 2024 currently then going to Spring 2024) I rewatch some of the shows I really enjoy. I like photography but I’m not into photo editing. Food is something that I’m really into even though I don’t follow recipes typically and I don’t have real training. Oh and I can’t stand watching video tutorials on food.

    I’m probably really weird in that my interests are all about me directly interacting with it instead of watching someone else interact with it.

    Science fiction TV and film, board games, relationship theory and polyamory, sleight-of-hand magic, and party tricks (memorizing things like quotes and decimal places of pi, reading bar codes, knowing the day of the week for any date in the Gregorian calendar).
