If we label the six points of our hexagon $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$, $E$, and $F$, diagonals can only be drawn between non-adjacent points. Therefore, the diagonals are $\overline{AC}$, $\overline{AD}$, $\overline{AE}$, $\overline{BD}$, $\overline{BE}$, $\overline{BF}$, $\overline{CE}$, $\overline{CF}$, and $\overline{DF}$. There are $\boxed{9}$ diagonals that can be drawn.
