No Direction and Lack of Ambition

Post Reply New Topic

I don't seem to care enough about anything to want to be good at it.

I would sometimes try my hands at something I've never done before just to see if I could do it, but once I've figured out the "trick" to doing it, I'd be perfectly satisfied with the knowledge that I could be good at it if I wanted to and move on with my life.

I'd love to be as focused as people who have a "special interest," but liking something for the fun of it just doesn't come naturally to me.

I had that same problem for most of my life, but now I have a special interest that qualifies as a job. I'm like you. I want to learn new things instead of dwelling on just one. If I stay focused on one, I will remain the same for a while, and I embrace change. So I choose comedy. I think the world is a joke anyway.

As young as third or fourth grade I was told I should focus on being a vet tech rather than an actual DVM becuase the math preresaquits would be too hard for me. My grades got worse and I lost ALL modavation.

You don't choose your special interests, they choose you.

I feel not interested by the things I think I understand at the first glance. When something is harder for me to understand, I feel sometimes the need to find an explanation, and sometimes I am completely blown up by the explanation and I'm sucked into the subject deep and fast.

Look at the things you don't understand, preferably the ones that have a large field of application or a rich documentation. Flit from one thing to another and don't be repelled by dusty places.

Ah yes, I love how teachers consider people with aspergers the "Weakest link".

Guess what? I am a 190 pound bodybuilder with pure physical power trying to get into a four year university.
I am being promoted to unit clerk at work.


f**k NATURAL SELECTION.

This was from my parents.

I can be like that. I often seem to just be looking to establish a way of doing a thing that works, and once I know how it's done, I move onto the next thing, and eventually forget how I did the first thing. Just "turning the handles" doesn't inspire me much, I prefer being at the cutting edge of technology, breaking new ground.
