RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

For me the problematic thing here is the insinuation that having a distinct hobby specific passion is what makes us interesting as human beings, that somehow human connection is predicated on passion and carved out hobbies. Not all of us have energy or time or just general mental capacity or desire to take on a passion project or dive into a hobby. I have family, friends, dogs, work, boating, biking, dog rescue, cheese, these are all a part of what make me but nothing I want to join a club over or dedicate any more time to than I already do. Some days are just about living and being. I can still be fun and funny and compassionate and interesting to talk to without having to develop and showcase a specific passion. Anywho
