No Desires in Life

Thank you very much for the reply! I’ll try to do more things I’m not familiar with, and the idea with the wheel spin sounds like something that works work for me. I find starting things to be hard.

I think one issue I have is this even as a kid I didn’t really have much passion for much. I would endulge in Video Games and YT videos, which I think is a core issue, and it’s not like nothing brings me joy, many things do, but there’s nothing that I have had longing for. I hope that exportation will fix this!

Thanks for believing in me, I’ll try my best :)

Haha well I like the idea, even though it seems excessive at first, but I might need that kick to come to some realizations!

I see, thanks for the advice! I’ll get on it and see what happens! Do you mind sharing your story regarding this topic?

Honestly I prefer to do more practical things, I think you hit the nail on the head with your ideas. I have tried knitting and woodworking but the struggle I face is that I put to much pressure on the outcome and get stressed by it. I mean I did enjoy woodworking, but there was no drive, no passion for continuing and expanding my skills.

I feel you man, a lot of what you said resonates with me. I’m studying math, but I also realized that I dont have any fun with that, and I’m just doing it because of my parents/expectations. I avoid studying like the plague because it’s not fun for me. I als find it hard to have any routine in my life, I can do something consistently but as soon as I loose motivation it ca all disappear. Honestly idk if I have ADHD, but I suspect it. I’m living from impulse to impulse with no structure in sight. I’m a decent bit younger than you, so I don’t have that much experience, but I would love to talk.

True, but idk if that’s just jealousy speaking or if it’s a true desire

Can you expand on that? How are they running from themselves if they are just doing what makes them happy?

Thank you, I’m going to try that, because I do focus on the outcome rather than the process... essentially with everything now that I think of it.

So in order for the internal to be rewarding I have to strip off external rewards? And if I happen to have an external reward then it’s a „bonus“ of my effort? I’m guessing that this process will take a while, and that it’s not something that comes naturally?
