Hobbies are what you like to do at any time, no matter the day. Something that keeps us all busy. I hate it when a hobby starts to feel like an obligation, or when a friend starts to tell you what career your hobby could develop into. It reaches a point where it stops being a hobby and starts being an interest. That's where things get dangerous.
Being interested in something leads you to research it, which lets you see how many people are interested in it and therefore, how many people are pros. Professionals ruin hobbies for amateurs because it shows the "mild enthusiast" how wildly outclassed they are, which leads to depression and loss of interest in a lot of cases. The point is: as soon as you start comparing yourself to others, your hobby is no longer just for you, and it stops being relaxing or fun. At least, it'll never be as fun as it once was.
My advice is this: keep your hobbies to yourself, and for yourself. It will give you a needed escape from an already judgmental world, and relax you when you need it most. Find joy in your passions and don't let anyone tell you what you could be doing if you're already happy.
Have fun, and have a nice day.
