[QUOTE="Deleted member 354, post: 41442, member: 354"] I guess it's about finding what "clicks", rather than viewing hobbies as ends for enjoyment's sake. I wish I felt the same passion for life that others seem to feel. I remember having enjoyed math in school and pursuing higher concepts in my own time, even if I was retarded. But once it became an end which served only to scrape by in life it lost all its novelty, and to this day I've never once considered pursuing it again due to the embarrassment of not "getting it". I don't believe in rediscovering yourself through finding something that clicks though. Or at least not some prolonged sense of satisfaction which comes from feeling that a course of action is right. I mostly just fill out my days through timewasters and try to concern myself with smaller changes, but that's old advice and I'm not really sure that applies here. I operate at a moderate baseline most days as well, and I'm fairly certain that there's a similarity here in regards to being alien to satisfaction, but I'm not sure how I can articulate that without falling into self-serving internal heuristics. Or maybe I'm misjudging you here. I've never been in a relationship for instance, so I can't comprehend what fulfillment would be like outside of the abstract. [/QUOTE]
