I regret buying a guitar, I can’t even do the simplest shit on it according to YouTube… I dunno if it’s laziness or just being tired of sucking so much and not being able to play the music that I like… Maybe a mix of both?

    I’m exactly the same. Hobbies just don’t stick, and I can’t commit to the grind of getting better at them.

    Have you been diagnosed with adhd by chance? I haven’t, but I suspect it’s one symptom.

      Nope, no diagnosis and I don’t think I am ADHD. I’m a middle-aged woman though so my historic understanding of ADHD pretty much excludes women by default.

      Where I come down on is I don’t think I care if my hobby hopping is a symptom of ADHD. I enjoy the variety, it gives me the entertainment or sense of accomplishment that I seek from hobbies. Same with work and other spheres of life, I don’t feel a negative impact so am not motivated to look into a formal ADHD diagnosis. My take on my personal situation, obvs, and not meant as a blanket statement about ADHD or other neurodivergent people. Maybe there’s a little lack of acceptance on my part that I might be ADHD, but that hasn’t risen to top of priority list with my therapist yet 😛

      I also like that I know a little bit about a ton of hobbies so when I meet new people I have a wealth of conversation topics that are deeper than weather or work.
