Hello Does anyone here purposely control what interests/hobbies/pursuits they have? I have noticed a pattern with my interests. Most of the time I have to be exposed to the interest for quite a time before I start to become obsessed with it. If the pursuit is stopped for a while, or is replaced by something else, the obsession with the pursuit is rapidly lost. I want to swap my current obsession with one of my older ones. So even though i have no interest in the old pursuit I know that if i expose myself to it for a while it will become an obsession again. Does anyone have experience or advice on what I am doing? One thing I have learned is that there is nothing that cannot be loved if I am exposed to it for long enough. Therefore I can make myself obsessed with anything I want

In this thread I was looking for people who are in a similar situation as me so that things in common could be discussed for the purpose of gaining knowledge and feeling less alone. As answers were posted in reply to my topic a disorder that I knew nothing about was mentioned in response to my question. As I did not know what this disorder was, I was compelled to ask what it was. If I had anticipated that asking this question may lead to a discussion that the thread was not created for then it may of been better for me to have googled the disorder thus avoiding the change of subject in the thread. I personally believe that the disorder could be relevant to the thread.

unfortunately i don't have much of an understanding of it just from the title, from the title all I can assume is the personality of someone with bpd is different to most people. what are the symptoms of bpd? that would probably help me to understand what bpd is

what is BPD?

i am specifically thinking about schizophrenia and bipolar rather than depression

what are the good things about your partner anxious?

i have not seemed to get worse as i get older and neither have the others in my family

milking it means taking advantage in a dishonorable way, there is not even a slight clue that you have done that

I have been trying to make real friends since I was born but I have never done it and I am now in my mid/late 20's Any tips? Do you have asperger's and real, good friends that you can ring any time and depend on?

i am social in very small groups, the problem is that i am a little strange so people do not like to socialise with me

at the moment i am not interested in anything, but last year i did enjoy shopping for stuff and playing a certain sport

i would like to find medication that i can tolerate long term that has benefits

i am alone all the time not by choice i do not like it and it is very sad for me

i do not see any benefit to having as for me

i am in my mid/late 20's and i am still socially weird

i avoid social situations because most people don't like me, or use me, or bully me without me knowing.

i personally think what you said is a very silly thing to say but that is just me and i understand your point of view

your obe will be an hallucination

it's not free?

i am definately not lazy and i find it offensive. i simply am not interested in anything

i did nothing and stayed in for about a year once and it made me significantly worse so now i hang on to employment/study very strongly

it is because people don't really care how good you are at your job they care how much they like you so that lazy worker may be a popular person with good social skills while you are a good worker but the boss may not like you so much as a friend therefore does not bother showing you his/her appreciation for what you have done

i don't know if this helps but i am an adult and i tend to wait until i am desperate for a drink before i can be bothered to go make one so maybe he does the same? also, instead of using the words i will make one in a minute, which i would take literally to be 60 seconds. at the 60 second point i would be expecting you to go make a drink but what you really meant was i will make one abit later when i am ready. so maybe you could give him a more accurate response like - i now know that you are thirsty, i can not make you a drink at this precise moment but i will make a drink for you in approximately 7 minutes time. it is important that you estimation is fair. say give or take a few minutes - it is better to approximate a longer time period than a shorter one

i play guitar and go through phases of enjoyment with it that usually last months at a time i have no interest in learning to read music, i have no interest in making up my own music, the only thing i like doing with my guitar is copying songs and playing them learning by using simple numeric guitar tabs i listen to a lot of music and every now and then i will be impressed with the riffs used in certain songs so i will learn them the process of learning something new is difficult for me, but i do enjoy learning to master the physical demands of a song but i dislike having to remember and learn the notes
