As long as your hobbies don't harm others why worry about it?
Follow your bliss.

I never understood why we need the distinction. There is being selfish and immature, but what bearing should that have on actual activities?
We spend a childhood learning activities and coping skill only to give them up as we get older, seems crazy. We grow up and give up things that made us happy and still (potentially) could because we're afraid of looking foolish or immature. Who decided that going to a gym is more mature than going to a playground? Playgrounds are still far more fun. Who decided that playing tag was immature but softball was acceptable? Why must all adult activities center around competition or sex?

I know plenty of people who are very into stodgy activities that are considered adult, and they're some of the most immature and selfish people I know. I don't understand why we have to equate activities we participated in as kids, with the selfish or immature nature of childhood.
If it makes you happy, and it harms none, go for it.
I personally can't pass up a swing set.

I was collecting and making teddy bears. When I retired my daughter sent me coloring books and gel pens. I also pulled out the coloring books I had bought 15 or more years ago. I now have more pencils, pens, markers, soft pastels and oil pastels. There’s a lot of freebies online , too. Download and print. I guess this is what my daughter will be inheriting along with the teddy bears. Oh and let’s not forget the beany babies. Lol

I have played video games since I was a kid and still do.

A psychologist would hv a field day with you. However I say if it makes you happy keep at it!!!

Most of my hobbies have roots in childhood activities of mine but arent inherently childlike. When I was little Id peck around on a keyboard, play drums on pots n pans, wittle sticks, build lego and erector sets, and play ninja turtles with foam nunchucks or a mop handle.

Now I play a full sized electric piano, real drums, work out with rattan bo staff, hardwood nunchaku, build and repair electronics, make wood carvings. I just do the real versions of all the fake things I used to pretend with, because Im a grown ass man and if I want to give my hands arthritis and nearly take my head off with real weapons, by god I will ?

I guess video games and drawing are the things that have changed the least but those arent necessarily childlike pursuits these days either. When I really wanna feel like a kid again I watch old nick at night shows with a big bowl of reese puffs.

Three words: Adult Coloring Book.

I love Christmas cartoons.

If you call farts "barking spiders" I'll laugh for a full hour

Greatly enjoy animated movies (collection has over 100 disks of animation). When I was very young I was into speakers and amplifiers. I am still upgrading the home theater sound system.

At age 65, I still:

Kiss the author's picture after finishing a wonderful book.

Do an silly Happy Dance when delighted. This makes people laugh.

Hug trees, especially majestic, old-growth giants.

Crush cedar tree needles and rapturously smell them.

Take a nap when tired.

Read while eating, a terrible habit. At age 8, my daughter gave me a book weight to hold books open on a table. I'd been caught. Sit down, and I look around for something to read.

As a kid, I thought the milk carton said "Damn Fresh." "That's awfully bold of them," I thought. I needed glasses. It said "Dawn Fresh."

I enjoy watching old/classic cartoons.

Does still enjoying riding bikes count?

I make cartoons. It was actually a childhood dream of mine.

Robots.. remote controlled things.. still have to convince myself not to splurge on that to this day..

I'm a big gamer. I love playing games with friends and family, tabletop games in particular (RPG'S, Boardgames, Card Games, Miniatures). In fact I've got my folks hooked on Ticket to Ride, Potion Explosion, and most recently Sentinels of the Multiverse (my personal favorite).

I love Hello Kitty

I have Strawberry Shortcake dolls on my dresser, and sometimes when I'm feeling out of sorts I smell their hair (smells like happiness and childhood). I love to color. I watch Disney movies, and tv shows like "Good Luck Charlie." My socks never match. I will build with Lego for hours. I like to play in the rain and splash puddles. I also try to build an igloo and a snowman every time it snows.

I have many stuffed animals as part of my decor as pillows/cushions. I sleep with one or two to take up the space left by mastectomy.

As for me, I prefer to collect the Hello Titty dolls!

Licking the cream out of a custard cream first.

I like playing with my grandson.

Does jumping in rain puddles count? ?

I watch Thomas the Tank Engine. “ I’m A very useful engine “
