Would you consider swimming to be a self-involved hobby?

Would you consider swimming to be a self-involved hobby? I read an article that said. "He may be a workaholic, a womanizer, hooked on TV, caught in addictions or self-involved hobbies." THE BOOMERANG RELATIONSHIP Passivity, Irresponsibility and Resulting Partner Anger

  • Selfish is all a matter of perspective. I'll agree with Geek on this one. As far as swimming goes - I kind of think of it as an addiction of sorts. I think about these facts: 1) I crave swimming 2) I go through withdrawals if I can't swim. 3) I do everything I can to immerse myself in this world of swimming 4) If I could swim more often than I do, I would in a heart beat 5) I want the people surrounding me to be indulged in swimming at least as much as I am. I just think people accept this addiction and call it a hobby because its considered "healthy" and "social" even though - 90% of the time I'm at the pool I'm not talking to anyone....
