No hobby or passion.
Some people just seem to work, then come home and watch whatever is shown to them on TV or scroll through their phone. And that's it, other than socialising, that's their lives.
It's hard to find passion for things when depression is constantly bearing down upon you. Constantly making you second guess yourself, the things you do, the things you find joy in. Anything that could bring happiness and enrich your life, your mind will sabotage any chance of you trying it out in favor of the lifeless apathy that's taken a stranglehold over your life.
Not to say I'm constantly mopey woe is me, nawh mate. It's just hard to find reason to be passionate about anything when your mind is constantly telling you it ain't worth it.
Not everybody that your comment applies to is depressive, but it's a common pattern within depressed folks.
Some of us bust our asses at work and don't have the energy for other shit. Get over yourself. 😑
You don't have a hobby? No interests at all? Just whatever the world markets to you, you consume?
The fact you're here in a niche social media site suggests this isn't true and you have interests outside of working.
I bust my ass too but still have a hobby! Most people are busting their ass 😅
Yep, just lost respect for ya there, bud.
Don't care.
Cool, no worries then.
so you just let your job rule your life like that?
"Have you ever tried not having the problems that make your life difficult? Give it a shot, you might find the change refreshing!"
I use to make next to nothing and not even have enough to cover rent and only bought food with food stamps.
it never prevented me from having interests or hobbies.
