[does this question relate to me ?] if it does: no, it's not that easy. usually i only have 1 and 1/2 interests and have had them since i was child, that is building things and arts - anything in any media/material. but it has to be self-affirmative, that's why i stick with it; and that makes taking up new interests easier.
> anything self-affirmative resulting in a feeling of more self-worth [= feel good] makes me obsessive and i can't stop. so if i find something potentially interesting - something that might work - i figure out a way to do it by which it stimmulates in a self-affirmative way; as for the photos: i like the photographed things, but that isn't enough for it work. situation is, that i am frustrated and bored. i am in need of action. how do i make it work so that i get become obsessive? > add a self-worth-trigger to it.
a. i will obsess with my collection and praise myself - it is, [obviously^^] self-affirmative
b. i will obsess with finding the best of everything - it is self-affirmative
c. i will show my collection to others via blog, and be happy if it receives positive attention - it is self-affirmative d. it is a very personal interest and it is a way to express my inner feelings, since i am usually very quiet - it is self-affirmative for my inner self, which doesn't get much attention
e. expressing myself and receiving positive feedback is self-affirmative.
f. i feel like i am actually producing something, i can see what i produce - it is self-affirmative.
> i can think of some more, still. yet, i experience a lot of frustration when i can't trigger myself... so i know.
