At uni the biologist parties were always the ones with the most sex. So that checks out.

The least sex was electrical or mechanical engineering. Just the couple of ay dudes had some fun.

Weirdest sex was for sure psychology student parties.

I don't get it.

Boss makes a million, I make a penny, that's why at work I shit post on lemmy.

I just run away in panic. Or don't eat outside during late summer.

Good thing people don't like to vandalize glass.

Stop trying to make sense of English pronunciation. It's all just made up bullshit.

Make your passion your job and you won't have passion but you'll have another job.

Cynicism slowly becomes realism in our time line.

Fat goth sluts who like candy and are looking for an excuse to party?

I picked up an order at a stor for a long time friend the other day. They needed his last name. Luckily I was able to reach him via text.

Set your alarm to 20 minutes after you want to wake up. Come on, that was easy.

Yet.

No. Be cringe. Embrace the cringe. Become the cringe.

Wow. Thank you for sharing. What a thoughtful response!

If I ever feel the urge to write down all my hobbies and projects and rabbit hole topics I will. But currently that sounds like an absolute chore.

I replaced gaming with painting and building miniatures for TTRPGs. TTRPGs are my other life long hobby. I hope it stays. It's nice because I get to share the results to people without it being about me. They are just game pieces and people like them.

Gaming just stopped feeling rewarding one day. It felt pointless.

And yes. Once I know all the steps I have to take to the end I often lose interest. Figuring out the way often is most of the fun. Actually walking the way isn't always why I got interested. I think. It's really hard to grasp.

Sometimes I really hate the lack of control over my life.

But then it leads me to so many interesting places regularly. I just hope it never picks up something too destructive.

I can relate so much. My whole life has been dominated by hyper fixations.

I can't control them almost at all. Fighting them makes me depressed. If something remotely positive comes up I'll jump in. It's better than some of the more problematic ones.

Some last a few weeks, some lasted as long as 2 to 3 years. And everything in between. I have one hobby that lasted almost my whole life since childhood but a few years ago was replaced. Video games. Just don't interested anymore in my mid 30s from one day to the next. Been gaming since I'm 8. Some fixations come and leave.

What helped me.

• I stopped giving myself shit for quitting. Without the guilt I also found it easier to return to something.
• endulge the positive and social ones. Like my chess one was fun, to play at local trounaments and such.
• I got better but not by much at not overspending on every fixation. It's still a bit much but the trend is positive.
• I realized I have a ridiculous amount of superficial knowledge and okay skills at various topics and activities. People initially believe in bulshitting but I can back it up so that kinda cool.
• I try to enjoy the time in between rabbit holes now. It's tough, I used to feel aimless and sad and out of balance. But these days I try to embrace the calm before the storm.

Time between fixations is usually only a week or so max. All other time of my life is spend in hyper fixated mode. It is a bit tiring and it does control my life quite a bit. Makes life harder.

I don't know how to close the chapter. Usually interest in the topic just is gone from 100 to 0 over night without warning.
