Right? I don't understand why it's considered bad to start and abandoned hobbies that didn't work for us. Hobbies are supposed to be pointless activities we do for our own enjoyment.

I like learning new things. I like learning the bases of stuff, while refining it to a long term hobby happens rarely. I see nothing wrong with it! (And I’m likely NT)

I also like having a variety of topics to approach people with. Gives a lot of conversation options.

Yeah, I circle around them all when I get bored. Soon to reap all the benefits.

Soon.

My last hobby got lame before the parts arrived. They are still in their packaging.

What's the hobby?

My thoughts exactly. I usually flame out after a month or two.

If I've got someone else that's also into it and frequently wants to do it together, then it's waaay easier for me to continue it. Kinda sucks cause it makes me feel like I'm putting the onus on others to keep me involved. I swear I'm not doing that on purpose!

It's probably a little harder for people with ADHD to stick with something through the lulls because we don't have that intrinsic motivation driving us to be able to experience that delayed gratification.

When trying to build a routine or a habit, it's like clearing a path through a forest and building a trail. It takes everyone dedication and effort. But for a lot of people (not everyone) with ADHD, it's probably more like a thick-ass jungle. I can do it, too, and it's gonna be a strugglebus. But once it's cleared and the pavement is down, consistent foot traffic is usually all that's needed to keep it clear.

But it felt like 6 months.

🤝 It’s been the only consistent topic for me, too!
