>>11156986>it's a hobbyI've always had hobbies. When I was in school, I spent a bunch of money on import music on CD and vinyl and even reading import music magazines. I still like a lot of music and listen to a lot of music but I have no desire to OWN it or run down rare imports.
It did teach me once I grew to other hobbies (like art books or comic books, or toys), to no longer feel any FOMO or urge to waste money because something is rare or allegedly unique, by and large, and if I do, it's as a fun treat.
I'm also highly functional with all that (just came from a surfing vacation where I spent no time on this board or on toy sites) hanging out with a bunch of friends.
There's nothing wrong with hobbies of any sort, even as coping mechanisms, as long as you don't let it take over your life (e.g. spend your entire spare cash after you get paid on something) so no drugs, music, toys, vidya, porn, etc.
