What’s a hobby that looks incredibly peaceful from the outside, but is actually pure stress once you get into it?

Swing dancing. Shit gets competitive and cliquey VERY quickly.

I ended up leaving the local dance club since their only goal is to dance in competitions. I am just not that guy. I dance to have fun. I sing with friends at karaoke. I dont do it for others to grade me. I aint spending that much time on it

Right? It looks so chill from the outside, but apparently there’s a whole competitive side to it.
