B Natural answer
I'd say I prefer hobbies with other people, but it depends on the activity. Team sports or cooking with friends have a kind of that I really enjoy, and I usually laugh more. When I'm alone, I can still enjoy reading or drawing, especially if I want to after a busy day. I also like solo hobbies because they help me with my routine. So overall, I like both, but social hobbies are a little more fun for me.
