Getting uninterested in hobbies I usually love. . .

Thank you. I know how you feel. I have always been teased and taunted all my life by other people and thought as I grew older things would get better for me and change. That is not the case at all. The only friend that I have is my husband who even tries to understand me any at all. I'm sorry you lost your friend. I will be so alone if my husband should pass on before me. I do have a daughter though, but she will have her own life to lead by then most likely. I have never had a true friend. No one seems to value things like I do. They always judge me before they know what a kind heart I have. Instead, they use me and abuse me verbally and mentally.

Sorry to hear that. . .all my life I've been somewhat of a shy, pessimistic person with very few true friends. One of them I had lost recently and is younger than me. He and I shared a lot of interests and was like somewhat of a younger sibling to me. Its one of the reasons why I dont want to let go of these hobbies so easily. I feel that if I do I'm going to forget anything happy I've had with my friend. So this is where I'm emotionally stuck.

Mm. I don't think I've outgrown them though. Not in my case anyway. And its not just hobbies either. . .everything is getting uninteresting to me gradually. . .even though I still do them as part of a daily routine I do. I'd like to change something that'll maybe change this cycle. .and get me interested in things again. But I appreciate your opinion. I used to collect Pokemon cards too. . .I never played them though because I never cared to learn the rules lol.

Well, you just figured it out yourself. Just do something different from the routine that you have been doing for a long time then. Something might strike you as interesting and everything from the usual might as well follow and with that new perspective, become interesting again for you. I too gave thought to how predictable my routine was during college. I usually get up early, prepare for school, do the two hour trip, get things over with at school with the subjects and/or pass assignments or projects, then get home as soon as possible if not spend some free time at the mall with no particular reason what-so-ever on going there to begin with. As if nothing really was progressing or changing for the better. But then, I just gave attention to what really mattered at the moment which took my worries away about the mundane ^_^
