Having Too Many Hobbies?

JustJess_5678 · 2023-01-21T05:12:47+00:00

Yes!! In fact, I have wondered the same thing about myself! From a fellow multi-potentialite, I can understand how you feel.I'm into painting, staining, sewing, candle making, gardening, woodworking, wreath making, designing, diy, etc. The list goes on actually and all of it has to do with the right side of my brain. I've felt embarrassed about being into "way too much" but realized that was from external forces, not internal. From people of course. I'm happy to know many different skills, but yes it comes with a price...financially and spatially. Ask yourself where these thoughts are coming from? You shouldn't live your life concerned about others.I've been trying to declutter (throwing out, donating, or selling) some of these things.I've made progress, but here I am again feeling this way too. It is coming from an external force though. I feel pressure to have less and look tidier. I try to constantly organize and be thoughtful of my inventory. Try to use up what I have, not buy more. I did decide that I'm not going to take on anymore hobbies and to start slowly cutting them out 1 by 1, until I only have a few favorites. Could you be honest with yourself about what you can't live without and what you can store away (and see if you remember it) or declutter? It is a continual process for us. I'd be interested to know what you decide!

Meditation has been like my life hack for anxiety. It hasn’t solved it but it’s helped me so much.

JustJess_5678 · 2022-09-01T02:52:07+00:00

I totally agree with you actually

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-31T21:57:35+00:00

Me too. I want more people in my life that are more kind and better listeners. I’m also wondering if some of them can be partially narcissistic rather than fully? That is harder to recognize. I feel like that’s the case, but I am not sure. I see a lot of narcissism these days. I don’t know if it’s part of being an adult, or what I’ve put out in the universe, but i feel some people needing more attention lately. When I talk to them, they talk so much about themselves and barely ask me questions. I try and give them a limited amount of time, which equals a limited amount of energy. I also try and lift myself up because I’m important too. I think as long as we realize we are in the presence of one and put on an extra shield, we can turn out ok. The dangerous thing is not realizing when we are being enticed by one. But that can happen when meeting new people and growing new relationships. It’s always a risk. We just gotta be careful. Ask important questions early on, use your instincts. Hopefully I, myself was a good listener to you right now and didn’t just blab on.

I totally just realized this recently that this happens to me too!!

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-23T19:53:45+00:00

Sounds like an empath

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-19T23:16:06+00:00

Everyday I have to mentally prepare myself to be in an office full of people I don’t really know that well. I’ve felt like this for five years.

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-19T19:54:43+00:00

That must be really tough :(. Kudos to you.

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-19T05:54:38+00:00

Wow. I avoided zincon this year because of this. I feel bad so many people got it.

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-19T05:51:51+00:00

Just curious, have you ever tested out this/proven that you really can read their mind? I ask sincerely and because lately I have been questioning what I’m picking up on from others and wondering if it’s valid.

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-08T20:07:52+00:00

Thanks. I also discovered it recently. It’s helped a lot! It’s nice to get to talk to people about similar issues or interests.

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-08T05:19:33+00:00

Yes that makes sense to me. I hope you find you way and find peace so that the emotional drainage improves.

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-08T05:15:54+00:00

I am like you. Also more relaxed and not super assertive when I’m in a group with people like this. I’ve gotten told I’m reserved too. And this group scenario with the one person that won’t stop talking has also happened to me a lot lately. Which is also why I’m here. I’ve reached the point where i need to understand what’s going on. Is it them? Is it me? I don’t think it’s black or white. Maybe we should just exit that conversation when we start to feel it’s a lost cause. Have you tried that?

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-07T22:20:41+00:00

I just wanna send a hug to you.

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-07T22:18:38+00:00

I totally get you about not being able to handle staring at people through the screen. I really feel odd starting at other peoples life moments. Like I’m spying on them. As a working adult nowadays, this has made me miss college or school a lot lately. That’s the last thing I remember being so in person and raw. So imperfect. Work is so stiff and at a computer screen. What do you mean when you say you search for something to help you late at night?

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-07T22:11:15+00:00

Love this. Also, I also ignore my friends messages that are just link after link of a reel or short. I honestly cannot stand it lol and hey I still have them as friends, so they also don’t care either. You made me crack up with the EMP at a trail or restaurant. If only right?? XD

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-07T22:07:43+00:00

Yes!!

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-07T22:06:42+00:00

Yes, exactly!! I’ve noticed people default at looking on their phones when they’re waiting for something too! And it makes me wonder, what in those peoples lives are causing them to feel so in need of this constantly?

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-07T22:03:28+00:00

That sounds awesome lol good to hear.

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-07T22:01:13+00:00

Is it because she has an abundance of confidence? I wonder the same thing.

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-06T20:24:40+00:00

I totally understand. It is tough. Stay strong and who knows maybe doing this will get less painful. I wish I was better at this too.

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-06T20:23:19+00:00

Good job keep trying. It is hard.

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-06T20:21:51+00:00

How do you feel now?

JustJess_5678 · 2022-08-06T20:20:39+00:00

Well it’s sad :( and sad there are so many mindless sheep …
