I want to word this carefully to make it clear that I am not depressed or anything
All I have is a desire to do more
Essentially, how do you guys manage to actually do things and not just fall into contentedness from meandering around the internet all day
I have multiple hobbies, some old that I still enjoy, some old that I really want to strive and pursuit, but, I never feel like doing any of them
This isn't me forcing myself to do something I don't want to do and feeling repulsion, it is the lack of desire despite the fact I know Id enjoy it
Again, no, Im not trying to do things Im only telling myself I want to do, they are things I enjoy, but I find myself just doomscrolling or jerking off or fucking around in chatrooms or threads all day rather than doing something
Every now and then I have a 1-2 week stretch of time where I am totally honed in on doing things, watching stuff, writing, drawing, studying language, etc. But then it falls off. Not because anything happened, but it just does, and all at once too
I guess I just need to form habits? Or something? Because every time I start doing hobbies again I go "oh this is so much better"
But, that sort of baseline or not really putting effort of thought into actions, but not receiving negative consequences / dopamine responses is so addicting
It's like trying to start a fire without any kindling and you don't mind the rain either way
Thanks for reading my word salad, probably way too long
