[quote=Anonymous]Be passionate about at least one interest or hobby.  I'm serious.  Most people really aren't passionate about...anything.  Sure, they argue that their family and job take up all their time, but they still have time for hours of social media scrolling, Netflix viewing etc.  An adult who has a real interest has a special kind of confidence and is just more interesting.  They haven't given up on life and begun the long just-buding-my-time until the dirt nap mode that is a big part of life for most people.  They are just a bit more intriguing.

Also, having a passion/hobby will often give you a ring of friends or acquaintances outside of work/your family, which gives you a confidence boost.

Here are some examples of normal people I have known or now know with passions/hobbies like this: someone who trains for marathons, someone who is working on a novel they wan to have published, someone who is involved in a language/culture group, a LARPer, someone who flies planes for fun, someone who belongs to a herpetology society and raises reptiles, someone with a Youtube channel about an interest.  Each of these people also had a family, job, and "normal" life, but it seemed like they used their free time for their passion, and it just made them more interesting.

Plus, these people seemed happier, which is also attractive to others.[/quote]
