Have you ever felt like you have wanted to do something (a hobby) but ending up as you can't?

Question

I'm used to getting what i want, so i just wanted to know weather you have wanted to do something (like a hobby) and your parents couldn't afford it, or for some reason, you just didn't do it.

Answer 1

Yes all the time most of the times

Answer 2

Yep.  Lots of stuff growing up.  I wanted guitar lessons, a dog, karate...sometimes you just have to wait until you're not the one paying for it.  It's good for you to not always get what you want.

Answer 3

Yep.  I would LOVE to be able to paint gorgeous pictures like my friend does.  But, even after taking lessons, I realized I just had absolutely no talent for painting and gave it up.  Same with playing the piano.  My sister and I both took lessons when we were kids, and practiced the same.  She plays beautifully, and I am horrible at it!

But, I can sew, crochet and knit circles around her.  :-)

Answer 4

Sure all the time. I would love to be able to ski, but I am awful at it.

When I was growing up, my parents didn't have a lot of money and I always wanted stuff I couldn't have.

It's dangerous later in life when you always get what you want as a kid. You don't learn the true meaning of the word No and can't handle rejection.

Answer 5

I wanted to learn to play clarinet when I was younger.....had a ROTTEN instructor that made every lesson miserable, so I ended up quitting.  I would LOVE to learn how to knit....just can't get it thru my head how to do it, even with someone showing me.  I can crochet, tho, with no problems.
