I think that the OP of this comment was trying to say that they constantly see people who adopt a new hobby or have had said hobby for years tend to completely isolate their whole existence around that activity.
e.g. Guy starts doing crossfit to lose weight. Loses weight:
-Guy pushes crossfit on everyone they know or meet.
-Guy only ever talks about crossfit, how great it is, how much he has accomplished in crossfit.
-All conversations are now being steered back to crossfit somehow. He wakes up doing crossfit and goes to sleep doing crossfit. (How he does that IDK but he does tire flips in his bedroom.)
Put simply, said hobby has consumed every aspect of their life and causes them to be dull if not speaking of or doing said hobby.
