Narrow Mindedness.

Post Reply New Topic

I stare blank into the internet search engine box. Only a few sites come to mind. This site, three model railway sites, youtube and a Christian site.
So bored, I attempt to do it again the next day, but I just can't think of another subject... Why can't I? I am intelligent. Why am I stuck in this same loop of just a few sites?
Ok. I look at youtube... But the same old loops of just a certain number of subjects. Even the suggestions are narrow minded to my own narrow subjects.
I occasionally find two other subjects. My emails, and a quick check for earthquakes. But apart from these, when I try to find a new subject to look at, my mind goes blank. Why? What is going on? Why am I stuck on a mental loop?

Does anyone else get the same? Is it an age thing? Is it an autistic thing? Is it a mental blockage? Stress?

I am not worried as other subjects out there I may find boring. But I am feeling like maybe I am too narrow minded?

I find I have the opposite problem of having too many interests and not enough time for them all. Sometimes, you need to force yourself to adopt new interests; they're an acquired taste.

That's the problem. I'm plain out of ideas. I've explored all sorts of headings from brainwashing through education to the use of 5G networks to sterilize the public, to haarp, harp and other weapons... From false flag to false news... I am out of ideas which my brain will latch onto. Yes, I have found fascinating things, but once I have gathered all evidence, explored the evidence in my mind and reached a conclusion (Usually takes several months and sometimes years) I am happy and then need another subject...
The autistic subject has intregued me in that it is something I am relating to via traints I get where I maybe on the spectrum. If not then it is even more interesting. But for me the huge leap forward has been to discover that the symptoms I get are likely to be partial shutdowns, and I am keen to be assessed to confirm this.
However, while I am learning a huge amount, as there is quite a wait to be assessed, it maybe an idea not to dwell on the subjects too long... I tend to go all out at first, but then reach a stage of freewheeling before I bring the subject back several times before I reach conclusions.... Except this subject will need others to bring the conclusions to the fore via the assessment... And I don't want to be a hypercondriact...
Many subjects I just can't get interested in. I can't latch onto them... So what is next? I don't really know!

Perhaps teach yourself a language or take up a sport. Walking and cycling are a big part of my week. I also lift weights. I can read French, German, Spanish and bits of Latin and Greek. I'm currently teaching myself Italian.

You find the railway sites and Wrong Planet boring ?

Languages is out for me. I never have been any good at languages. If you saw my exam results... I would get good results in maths, sciences, geography, history etc, but englash I would be average, and frence and welsh I was so poor at, that as soon as I was allowed to drop them I did. You are talking exam results just above single figures. I just could not get my mind to latch onto languages. I had a similar issue in collage whe we had to code and decode in both binary and hexadecimal forms.

Cycling. Hardly go out.. Maybe twomor three times a year. Have to feel up to it so need a preiod of days where I have had no partial shutdowns. Bicycles is one of my special interests and I have been employed on and off in the bicycle industry for 30 years.
I do enjoy walking, but yet again, I need to feel up to it, or walking will be a struggle. When I am good I can walk or cycle miles. When I am not good just the effort to walk from the car to a shop is quite an effort!
Sport? Forget it...! For me, with cycling, at least I have a chance as I have learnt over many years how to conserve energy...



No. These sites are not boring, but sometimes I have answered all the posts in the areas I have explored... But also I am concerned why my mind can't seem to explore beyond its boudaries? Is like I get blockages... I can explore very deeply indeed within my boundaries and I still have more yet to go... And WP with the autism subject has opened up a whole new area... (Though I am concerned by exploring this area and asking more questions I can be laballed as a hypercondriact, when I am not).

I feel like my brain gets full of whatever the focus is at that time and other things which it deems unnecessary get dumped.
So I have blanks about things I knew quite well before.
I think it's an anti-overload protection thing.

I have a lot of interests, but the sites I go to most involve cats, tennis and lately, the Olympic Games.

I'm similar, MG. I'll get narrow-mindedly fixated on some topic until my curiosity is satisfied. After that, sometimes I continue the routine of visiting related forums and news sites, sometimes I find a new thing to latch onto. To be honest, since I've realized how much of my personality is driven by autistic traits, I don't feel as bad about this. My life is about depth of understanding over decades, not breadth of experience in weeks. That's the way I'm wired.

I do hope you stay with this site, by the way. Your posts are interesting, and you strike me as a genuinely caring, compassionate person.
