Discussion Losing interest in things you used to be obsessed with?

[AutisticBeast]

Does this happen to you? I was obsessed with my DVD collection last year and ever since 6 months ago my interest in it disappeared. I haven't even looked at my collection in months, I don't know why my mind works like this, I think it may be the autism.

I usually replace one obsession with another.

 

[UnwantedVirgin]

Yeah I end up rotating my interests every few years, keeps things fresh. Right now I'm obsessed with a certain loner sport that I'm not going to say in case the glowies are watching

I used to love studying science (maths and more importantly, physics), even outside of college, I was really passionate about it. Now it feels completely bland, so yes you can lose interest.

I've made a thread about it.

What I thought to be passionate about is nothing but an immense cope

For real. As some might know here, the main thing I do in my life is studying science. Not only for the uni courses, but also because I'm developing mathematical modelizations for some magic that appears in a story that I'm writing. I used to tell myself that yes, I looove science and that...

I also burned out on the stem stuff I used to enjoy doing, like what's the fucking point of it all. I only started doing it becuase it was an indoor hobby for loners trying to compensate.

Exactly, I replaced socializing that I couldn't do with that. Didn't help in the slightest bit in the end.

Ever fall into the electronics black hole? I built so many useless circuits that got tossed in a box afterwards and never touched again.

I was more doing theoretical physics so not exactly. But yeah I had to build some circuits, god I really hated that lol.

Optics too.

And organic chemistry was the biggest hell I think.

 

[flipcel]

Yeah same, i have so many hobbies that i dropped throughout the years and I really thought I would be good at them.

Handheld consoles. I bought Vita and 2DS, I hacked both, I set up my phone with ipega gamepad as dedicated emulator device, with the new ps2 emulator 2d games work well. I'm trying to fix my old PSP, I think mobo died.

Tbh, unless you want to sell the PSP, don't bother repairing it as the Vita has a mod to emulate PSP called Adrenaline.

Yeah and screen is much nicer, ppsspp for Android also run very well, problem is ipegas thumbsticks are horrendous while any good telescopic phone gamepad costs over 100 eur.
