Any suggestions on how to find interests and hobbies?

Question

I have always been the person who molds to what everyone around me enjoys. Anyone who became close to me would give me something to keep me busy and happy. Their interests were my interests. Now that I'm all grown up and married, I'm finding I have less and less to enjoy. My hubby enjoys things I'm very unskilled at like art, writing, and playing music. I work 35 hours a week and have class after work, leaving me little time to experiment and try to find something I can enjoy and start looking forward to. I've even started to wonder if I should look into changing my major, fearing I won't enjoy my future career. This predicament has made every other part of my life difficult; since I have nothing to look forward to or enjoy I'm completely unmotivated and lazy. I don't perform as I should at work, don't try to lose weight so I can be happy with myself, clean around the house, etc etc. Any ideas on where to start?

Answer 1

What are your experiences and what do you like to do? I think you should brainstorm your hobbies as you liked to do when you were a kid. Or just young. I hope that helped and good luck!

Answer 2

find a HOBBY--like coins or stamps--or an activity that you enjoy, like crafting or sewing. Then find a CHATROOM specializing in your interest and contact people with similar interests to yours.

Answer 3

I do believe that this is what everyone calls a mid-life crisis.

Is your job what you wanted to be when you grew up? If it's not is it to late for you to change it now.

I really do suggest that you pick at least one night a week to reflect on who you are and where you would like to be.

You could take up a hobby, or just donate a little time and many community organizations that need help.

You only have one life,enjoy it while you can.
