Like…I have some things I have vague interest in, I guess.
But not anything I have ever put time into, or am good at, or am knowledgeable enough to hold a conversation.
Maybe I’m just depressed…maybe I’ve always been depressed…or maybe I’m just missing some kind of spark most other humans have.
Like how does someone just know or decide like…”yeah I’m really into architecture.”?
I don’t know if I’ve ever felt like that…I feel like I’ve tried and it’s never lasted.
I feel like I’ve spent half my life just addicted to social media and video games and that’s no longer working.
You might be depressed. Dysthymia is sort of a long term depression.
I definitely relate to this. some time back I kind of forced myself to focus on something long enough to turn it into a hobby. I didn’t stick with that, but I eventually got into playing music again, and I’ve stuck with it for a while now and I’ve built a couple guitars and a bunch of pedals as well.
I think, if you’re anything like me, you’ll have to force yourself into a hobby for a while until it sticks.
Holy shit!? Luthier work? I gave that a go and it was kind of a stressful mess, but I'm glad I tried it.
Well, it was an electric (acoustic would be hard as fuck) and I said “build” because I bought a body and a neck from a Chinese company and all the parts from various places. I did all the finishing and assembly, but I didn’t cut out the body or neck, or put the frets in (although I did have to level and crown them).
Idk if I’ll ever actually do one from scratch. Could be fun. I’ve got some ideas for future projects though
