What's the deal with interests?

Post Reply New Topic

I've always had my special interests. Cats, skating, medical science, in that order of progression. While my interests do change, they never disappear completely.

My most enduring interest has been cats. I will always have cats and other animals in my life.

interests are kool man, i dont think theres a problem with them. i too practically live my interests , and they dont cause any problems for anyone else so its class. if it wernt for my interests, i doubt i'd even be alive

I have some strong interests, but I rarely post about them, anymore.

I too find my interests frustrating. I get very excited about something and it's all I want to do... all day, and for the rest of my life. I make long-term plans about changing my career or completing some big project that will make me really proud and give me some self-worth, but two or three months later I'm onto something new and my old projects get dropped. Then I get depressed every time I see something that reminds me of an old interest because I just feel like I failed at something that was important to me, or that I was I lying to myself when I made my grandiose plans... Now every time I have a new interest I get anxious because I'm so sure I'm going to drop it in spite of my best intentions. I think maybe I need to plan projects that take less than two months to complete...
