I am tired of my special interest

Post Reply New Topic

My special interest is listening to music on my laptop. I enjoy doing it but it's getting boring. I hope that makes sense. Listening to music for hours is distancing myself from reality and causes me daydream the whole day. Anybody feel me? I know we all do this. Do you feel like your wasting your life or you content with your interest?

I think I understand what you mean. It has never been music in my case, but whenever I am interested in something and spend a lot of time for it, I sometimes get the uneasy feeling that I'm just wasting my life. And often that feeling puts me off whatever I'm interested in. That feeling, plus the overwhelming sense that achieving perfection in whatever I try is impossible, has always kept me from achieving much in whatever I tried.

If you're finding your special interest boring, then it's not your special interest anymore. Interests can change. Try something else.

I have had many times when i have felt like what you have just described.

All I can say is that my special interest never has become a backdrop for the real world,instead i think of it as an add-on for me not being able to conform to society
in an aspie sence since mostly all aspies find it more diffucult to live in an NT world

If you don't like the way things are maybe find ways to make it more interesting like walking outside while listening to music.

I wonder around at night listening to a certain soundtrack i like and find it more better than when i was just inside listeing to music on my PC.

I've found that my interests go in cycles. I do something for quite a long time, then grow tired of it, then do something else, and after some time my previous passion returns.

But anyway, there's nothing wrong with changing your special interest, maybe it's time for something new.

I feel this way when it takes over. I just try and get better control over it. I think I am getting better at it. Then it gets worse again and better.
