Not that I''m speaking from experience, here, or anything... ;) Sometimes a hobby can get to be a burden, if the habit of doing it goes on when the passion for doing it wears off — and if it’s in a creative-productive area, like sewing, for example, you can end up with a list of projects that aren’t your own so much as they are favours for other people… which of course can be perfectly fine, but too much doing-for-others can turn a hobby into an unpaid part-time job!

I've tried a lot of hobbies, and have stuck with some for too long because it made me "look cool" or all my friends were doing it. Now I do completely random things, like make Impossible Bottles, attend Toastmasters and train as a Storyteller... None of which are "cool" but all of which are more rewarding than I can say. My touchstone for evaluating hobbies is always - "Follow your Bliss" @chaplainandrews,

If it ceases to be rewarding stop it! I couldn’t agree with you more about the hobbies that harm–too many times people get inot hobbies because “everybody else” is doing it, or it is an accepted hobby by your pier group–it is a hobby do it for yourself.
