For example, I play the drums and tend to think of myself as a drummer. Do you love games, consider yourself a gamer? Are you a chef, a bodybuilder, maybe an artist? What is it that you love to do?

I love password generators, and so I use them to generate unique usernames for everything online.

Bass player. It's just what I do.

None of my hobbies overwhelm my identity to the point of being a lifestyle. I switch modes in and out of them and when I’m “on” I am 100% into them, but by default I’m just a regular type dude.

Versatility and an ability to step back even from a deeply held hobby are important things.

Not sure if you're meming, but this post deserves a like.

Outdoorsman here. I've tried a lot of things outdoorsy but never hunting. Fly fishing is my passion now. Used to be overnight backpacking or paddling trips but it gets harder as I get older. The great outdoors gave me a purpose when I badly needed one thirty years ago
