Have you had some hobbies and stuff you like to do in the past but now you're no longer interested in doing it anymore? For me, I never really lose interest in all of my hobbies and past time. But as I got older and work become busier I have to selectivelly choose what hobby that I can do in my free time. For example, I like binge watching Anime but nowadays I never watched any of the newer stuff because I'm too busy. In the end while I never really lost interest in Anime, just the thought of catching up to the popular shows nowadays become a chore for me. Not to mention I also has other stuff that I like to do like, building gunplas and playing games. As of right now while new shows still piques my interest, I don't have enough will to spend my precious free time to watch the show instead of using them doing my other hobbies. Nowadays I just get my Anime fix from Manga and occasional Light Novel. Do any of you also have this problem?
I used to watch harem anime and not feel uncomfortable but nowadays I just can't even bear to watch it anymore. I do still watch anime but yeaaa just not as frequent I personally only watch stuff I'm interested in examples this season are blue period, ousama ranking and takt op destiny because I can't help but feel that just 'ok' anime will cut it out for me nowadays which is why I choose to only watch those I like the art or story of. Manga and light novels amen.
Gaming, I've lost interest in playing games. I just don't get that excitement unless it offers something more immersive than a fight
Yeah, I also interested in the new LN adaptation anime, but since I already know how stuff went from the LN, I have no motivation to watch it. Though I probably wouldn't interested in the anime if it wasn't from the LN in the first place. For me, there just too many that I want to play that I quickly lost interest because I'm distracted by the other game that I want to play.
most of online games~ too busy~ action theme novel~ feel bored~ supa serious story~ this cat is tire enuf with various stuff so nay~
I don't think my losing interest have anything to do with getting older, although of course the object of interest differs as I age. I'm used to jumping at new things then throwing them away once the novelty disappears as if I've exhausted all interest I can get from it, from one obsession to another
It's not that I'm losing my interest in hobbies currently, but I'm so stressed and unmotivated even doing the things I love seems stressful and like a lot of work.
Yeah, I feel you~ I still love most of the hobbies I loved as a teen... But time is now a much more precious resource, so I'm a lot pickier with what I spend my time on... >.>
I still remember when I was about to start watching Naruto cause I didn't find any other to binge watch, something in me told me "it won't be interesting now" ...Idk how but that feeling has just snow balled. There was a stark difference how I felt watching one piece, or fairy tail to watching Naruto. in fairy tail or op I just instantly clicked with the protags...but Naruto I just felt odd and stupid. I dropped it unsurprisingly...... I'm not bias against Naruto no, I know what it feels like to like it....op and Ft gave me that feel. I know it's not Naruto cause I till now haven't seen the last season of fairy tail, I've read the manga and spoilers so know what happened but the anime I couldn't bring myself to watch. Now it's much worse, I would atleast love works like dororo, musushi, restaurant in another world, and the recent one about a ever evolving eternal stone, but now I just feel they are empty. Not that I stopped anime, heck I watched reincarnated as a slime upto date....but not as much invested into it, I don't connect with any character, i just want to know the story... Hard to put a finger on it....but yeah my hobby of anime has atleast changed.
I noticed all the things that makes me entertained before but now, I lost interest to almost everything. The only thing I've been thinking right now is how to earn more money in a decent way and have time to procrastinate. <w< Actually I'm still stuck in procrastinating (´；ω；｀)
a lot of people do keep seeing their interests change over time. Sometimes they change back to what they were as a kid, even. Personally, my interests haven't changed but available time has changed the way I pursue them. I have a lot less big chunks of time now, and a lot more smaller chunks of time than when I was a kid. I no longer read actually good books because they're impossible to put down and I need to reserve my biggest time slots for gaming. That's the main reason I'm here : most of these translated novels are enjoyable while not being so immersive and well written that I can't just put it down whenever there's a need to. These stories can fill all the little amounts of time I have and I can drop/pick-up them at any time. I can't ever go back to the time when I'd whimsically start reading the unabridged Three Musketeers only to pull an all nighter finishing it in one sitting. That's a thing of the past. If I did something like that, I'd end up fucking up my schedule
I used to cycle reading manga/novels, gaming and watching anime, doing 2 at a time alongside my studies but nowadays I hardly have time to do any one. When I was younger I used to think that I would still have time for my hobbies when I grow older, how naïve I was. I used to like MMOs but these days I won't even touch a game that I can't pause.
