Is a very broad question I know. But I realized that aside the things that liked as a kid (videogames and listening music) I gave up on everything else or failed in other things. I gave up on going to the gym, gave up trying to learn how to play a guitar, i gave up on having a YouTube channel, if I fail the theory exam of my driving licence I think I won’t try again, shit I gave up on having a social life… And so on. Is that normal in your opinion?
Do you have ADHD? I’ve read that people with ADHD can hyperfocus on new activities and easily get bored when things are no longer new. AuHD can also happen where there is a touch of autism along with it that can also make social stuff hard. Whatever it is, no one here is your doctor, and you should probably see if your doctor would refer you to a therapist or psychiatrist.
Don’t know and honestly don’t what to, my life sucks enough as if is, knowing that I have something would only piss over me even more.
Speaking from personal experience, knowing that there’s a reason I behave a certain way has been pretty liberating. I spent my whole adult life up to my late thirties thinking I’d broken my brain or was just lazy and couldn’t concentrate. Knowing that that’s just how my brain is wired has made me feel a lot better about myself, and be less harsh to myself when I fuck up, and then being able to learn coping strategies of others in a similar situation has also really helped.
If you can give up on a new hobby or whatever BEFORE you’ve bought all the things and made your life even more messy isn’t a bad thing at all. If you’ve lent into it and bought all the stuff and nonsense, try to cycle through past hobbies rather than pick up new ones constantly. Find hobbies that complement each other, or use stuff that you already own, and ones that have low cost to try out. If you’re not making yourself skint or your life more messy by trying them out, then trying and quitting doesn’t matter at all, it just increases the chance of you finding something you really enjoy doing.
It would help as you can then address those issues. Why would it annoy you? Then you can get meds to help you.
You might want to find out so you can work with whatever your diagnosis may be. It may be something as simple as changing the way you think, it could be more. But whatever you’re doing now doesn’t seem to be working.
My personal experience after finally getting help was that some of what I was going through was more of my own choosing as opposed to whatever my diagnosis was. Some work on the way I thought about things helped much more than expected. I still have real issues, but less than I had before.
Go talk to a professional first, figure out what’s going on.
Oh, if the answer to your post question is no, it’s not normal, what would you do?
Not much. I was just curious
