What's a hobby that sounds boring to other people but you secretly love?

B1Hobbies & free timeJust for fun

A natural way to answer

I'd say jigsaw puzzles. A lot of people find them boring, but I really enjoy them. I can zone out for hours. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure, and for me it never gets old.

Key phrases to use

  • zone out — to stop paying attention to everything around you, in a relaxed, dreamy way“I zone out completely when I'm doing the dishes.”
  • guilty pleasure — something you enjoy even though you feel you maybe shouldn't“Reality TV is my guilty pleasure.”
  • get old — to become boring or annoying after a while; often used in the negative“That view from the hill never gets old.”
