Boredom

[44sweetpea]

I don’t know if this has been covered but I get very interested with certain topics but can only stay with them for so long. I lose interest quickly and I am bored most of time. I’m going bonkers. Does anyone else have these issues?

Struggles with changing special interests

So I've been thinking a lot about special interests. My special interests change often. Sometimes they change after a few years, and other times they change after a few months, weeks, or even days. Often, I've felt embarrassed and kind of ashamed about losing old special interests. I never...

It is difficult to remain interested in certain topics. Sometimes interests are more "passing",...your intellectual curiosity simply exhausts itself and you move on to other things. Over time you get to be an annoying "know-it-all" like me.
