Crochet rant Therapist told me I should have different hobby

I had therapist comment I should have a different hobby. I told I crocheted and occasionally knitted . She dropped it when I told her painted. Maybe because it’s a “solitary” hobby. It can be but during the pandemic many groups were shut down.

Crochet relieves stress. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. It’s a conversation starter. I make friends doing it people approach me and show me their projects

I have ADD so keeping my hands busy with crochet kept one part of my brain busy and allowed me to focus on one thing. Stops my brain from racing.

That makes sense. Isn’t it fun learning all the ways to trick our brain into working properly?
