Hobbies and interests you won't list

Just not interested - Dig a little deeper!

I have a few - religion and politics to name the most inflammatory ones. Do you have any hobbies and interests you just can't add? I just can't add those, I do respond to discussions under those umbrellas but I don't necessarily LIKE either one of those and I cannot bring myself to add those as a 'hobby' or an 'interest' because that would mean claiming I enjoyed them! I don't! LOL!Ok, I admit that I am interested in both to a degree, but I have to control that degree and prevent too much influence from either one. I don't want anybody to think that either one is a big part of who I am, unlike most of my other choices for hobbies and interests. Your thoughts?

Well there are indeed some discussions that I respond to but when asked if I want to include that interest I don't want to. They're just topics that I might respond to but are not really big interests of mine. I also don't have religion or politics in my interests although I sometimes respond, because, again, even though I might be interested in that specific discussion the topic itself does not interest me that much.

You got it. Specific discussions will interest me from time to time, but that broad topic it's listed under probably doesn't. Neither of those topics seem all that entertaining to me. I like entertainment. I do like some serious things too but they have to be serious things that appeal to me, meaning even if it's serious, there's something positive about it. Religion and politics are generally negative topics to me and tend to put a damper on my good mood.

i have the same problem.. the sucky part about it is if you wanna post in that area you have to add that interest and i dont wanna claim it or its an issues i just thought of but doesnt pertain to me and my interest.. so i end up putting it in a different area that still fits but not as well

I'm not likely to POST a discussion about religion or politics that is solely about those things. I might post one within another topic that has something to do with one or the other but it'll be a broader topic
