I really don't know why. maybe i'm just exhausted with work, or something. but I cant bring my self to actually do any of the things i used to do, and enjoy them. i just feel like... there's rally no time to get involved with it anymore, so why put in any effort?

Writing
drawing
3D anmations
Videogames.

I wan to do all of these and enjoy them. but I just cant. I drew a shit load a few years back, and worked on a book that I've had in my head for most of my life. ut now it just feels like theres no real point to bother with it.

is there some ay I can fix this? I really ant to get back into my hobbies, they mae me happy.

Maybe you're just bored of doing those hobbies, find some new ones and take a break from the usual for while.

Try doing another hobby, maybe? Exercise is a great way to pass the time, but that's just a hunch. I'm also predicting a "but I'm too lazy to do this shit" sort of response.

May i feel your big bulgy biceps, then?

Also, have you ever tried running before? If you get really good at it, you can run really fast and run really long distances, and it encompasses over a large portion of your day.

Also, try watching ponies.

Sounds like burnout with a side of changing life priorities and changing interests.

You can't force passion. That just eventually leads to embitterment. Only do your thing when the fancy strikes you.

Response to losing interst in all of my hobbies 2015-08-19 18:46:53


take a break for a while from those hobbies and explore new things, either that or take up like different forms.

Like drawing? try painting.
Like video games? learn to edit them and mod them ( i got bored with video games and spent 2 years dicking with gta iv mods and eventually attempted to make my own texture mods which are basic)

etc.

If you're serious, then it's either a sign you're growing out of your old hobbies, or that you are perhaps depressed.

Are there any other symptoms? Sleeping either longer or shorter than you usually do? Not talking to friends?


Ecchi first, ask questions never.

They say the body changes every seven years. Far be it from me to say that might be an inacurate statements, but I think a lot of people loose interest in the things they do. This could also be a form of mental corruption. I'd say do something scocial, like play some games with other people. it doesn't even have to be friends, it could be random people. Make freinds that way, maybe. Cheddar cheese.

Sounds like a lack inspiration and exhaustion (if work sucks and is full time or better). Creative hobbies are the hardest to maintain, emotionally speaking. You may actually be depressed, or work's created such a rut, your better nature can't see over top of it anymore.

Maybe you think your words and ideas don't matter anymore, after all, school and modern society is set up to reinforce that bullshit, so we're better workers and not boat rockers.

You're not a kid anymore, there's no need to rush any new projects, once the inspiration arises.... a little work each day, in your own way and in your own time, adds up. Nothing feels better, than being the first person to enjoy your completed work :)
