What hobbies middle-aged people have vary from person to person: some like to raise flowers and birds; Some people like reading books and newspapers; Like playing chess and cards; Some people like to wander in the street; Some like to travel; Wait, wait, wait.

From the perspective of mental health, we must have a "hobby of getting along with people!" Because human beings are social animals, good interpersonal relationships are very beneficial to people's mental health, and of course middle-aged and elderly people are no exception. What they fear most is loneliness, poverty and disease. Facts have proved that most people with long life have very good interpersonal relationships, whether it is family, friendship or love.

The importance of cultivating hobbies for middle-aged people

Clinically, middle-aged people suffering from depression are mostly introverted people who are not good at communicating with others. Moreover, the incidence of depression in middle-aged and elderly people is much higher than that in other age groups: they feel useless and worthless; I feel that I am no longer needed by my children or even a burden to them.

I usually lack interpersonal communication and feel "unsociable". Maslow, president of American Social Psychology Association, put forward a concept of "peak experience". The so-called "peak experience" means that people feel very happy, very happy or, in modern terms, very "hi".

The more people with peak experiences, the higher their mental health level, and correspondingly, their happiness index. It should be pointed out that the peak experience will only appear when you get along with others, whether it is family, love or friendship.
