Clearly this one doesn’t really matter for hobbies I get attached to, since they usually don’t care too much, as they don’t have feelings. That being said, there tends to be a sort of natural consequence for excessive indulgence. 4) whether it be my physical or emotional health, spurts of obsession
Can be incredibly destructive. I will neglect many of my responsibilities [not quite responsibilities as such, since I go out of my way to possess as few obligations as possible, frequently to a pathological degree. Not sure why this is in brackets considering it’s actually one of the main bits of
fallout from 4]. In order to facilitate my less than predictable obsession schedule, I will eschew as much commitment ahead of time as possible to other activities or people. I don’t want to be respecting a promise, I want to be doing the shit my brain is telling me Has To Happen Now. Weakness maybe
That’s enough reasons for now, I’m running out of steam a bit. To loop back around to *quickly: it’s kindaaa not quite right, because I take a while to get comfy and familiar before diving in and getting completely taken away all of the sudden. Like a calm river snapping into turbulent choppy rapids
But yeah despite all the negatives it feels really stupid to want anything else. I could attempt to cultivate different desires, but why? I like not being tied down right now, and I don’t mind not having a ton of friends (I kinda prefer it). I enjoy losing myself in my passions and leaning into it.
I’d prefer not to make people around me uncomfortable if I can help it, and that’s maybe something to improve on and workshop, but I think communicating clearly and early and often can help mitigate some things. Idk, still learning. But don’t feel like intentionally attempting to change myself atm.

you’re not into it, that’s just even more creepy and obnoxious. Idk it’s hard to make patterns given my small sample size so maybe some things are unique to specific past relationships and the issue won’t arise in the same way again. All this to say I haven’t figured it out yet. Sorry future fps uwu
