I recently cut my parents out of my life after trying one last time to talk to them. I cannot stress enough how hard having no hobbies or interests fucks me up. like I thought I liked pc games, but it turns out i was just using it as an escape.

now that there’s nobody over my shoulder to get angry at me for my preferences I don’t know how to function.

edit: a word >~<

    As a temporary fix, I would advise a “fake it till you make it” approach. Think about something you would like to like, and dive into it. In a while, you can reconsider and either keep going or drop it for something else.

    NGL that sounds like a good idea. i’ve got a backpack and stuff for hiking. never got around to it yet but that may be fun!

    I have an AI rig at home but that topic gets you tarred and feathered in current year. not the best hobby anyways because it’s a PITA to get performance out of.

    I can relate with that and it really sucks. So while I can't give any advice because I too am still in the 'trying to figure shit out' phase, I offer the only comfort I can give right now: We are not alone in this.❤️
