Having a hobby can truly change your life. It can shift how you see yourself and the world. Most people agree that hobbies add to your personality and even make you smarter. Now, let's find out which hobbies fit different personalities.

According to Mehezabin Dordi, Clinical Psychologist at Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital, Mumbai, hobbies aid in identifying progress by giving novel arenas for creativity and mastery experiences that build self-efficacy. "They expand cognitive flexibility through novel skill acquisition and create behavioural diversity beyond simply occupational roles. From a clinical perspective, hobbies serve as adaptive coping mechanisms that regulate affect and reduce rumination. They foster unique personal narratives. These experiences integrate into one's self-concept, creating psychological depth and resilience. Ultimately, hobbies transform personality by adding dimensionality to how we perceive ourselves and engage with the world."
