I have argued this point in the past, as I'm sure many others, but it's nice to have a term for this concept: hobbyless behavior.

@stefan I feel that "hobbylos" fills a very similar niche as "asozial" - a word I really dislike. I can't put my finger on which word was used first but it feels like people would only use either of one. Perhaps a class thing?

@nofuj I do see where you're coming from. Certain hobbies do require some level of privilege in terms of having free time and resources.

But I think this is really more about being so devoid of interests and inner life that you end up bothering others.

A hobby really can be anything that's not harmful to others, like strolling through a park, visiting a library. Doing things for your friends, family, and your community.

@nofuj @stefan asozial originates with the nazis iirc to describe homeless people, drunks, etc

hobbyless is old teen slang to be annoyed at people being annoying as if they have nothing better to do
