I have a problem that every time i want to start new hobby, i cant work on it for long enough time to develop it into a habit. I quit the hobby i started even less than one month after starting it, even if i am excited and interested in working on it for a long time.

Since i dont know if i really have an adhd, because psychitriastists i went to say that i dont have adhd, despite i have common symptoms like lack of motivation, problems with learning and work, and problem with working on hobbies for a long time, i need to somehow find a way to work on a single hobby for a long time, without meds.

    I agree with everyone else. Having a bunch of different hobbies that I can bounce between keeps things fresh and exciting. They can be related though. For example, I enjoy writing, I also enjoy reading. And I love sci-fi and fantasy in television, movies, and video games as well. And I play TTRPGs in various genres. Oftentimes, because of how related a lot of my hobbies are, by the time I start losing interest in one specific thing, I’ve already been inspired in something adjacent. So overall, it’s like one big hobby that I slowly work theough

      Yeah I find if I ever try to push myself to keep doing something my brain has pivoted away from it basically just ensures I won’t ever want to do it again because it forms bad boring memories of it lol
