>tfw just barely not passionate about anything to pursue it as a career
Anyone have this problem? I am interested in a few cool things but not enough to fully pursue them as a career or a fulfilling hobby. Is it the lack of confidence, maybe stage fright? Its not laziness I can motivate myself to work no problem, i.e. school or work.
Any advice?.
This is also me. Maybe depression ?

maybe, but are you sad? I am not really sad. In fact I am happy a decent amount of the time from little pleasures, but not deeply satisfied.
I get this too. I do feel sad too. I feel like the things that I would be more interested in have no or few jobs available, or similar. Im having to swap away from my physics major because i keep failing physics and maths classes. I want someone to ask me if i need help because i cant really ask for it on my own.
Is music possible as a career at all? It seems like pulling names out of a hat.

It's Schizoid Personality Disorder. I've got it.
The 'passion' meme is bullshit. Hardly anyone has a pre-existing passion that matches with a career. Most careers are an acquired taste. They become fun when you become good at it.

Hey, I've got it, too -- legit diagnosed.
Kind of sucks, but what can y'do.

How do you know that based off what he said? I thought that was just more about being a loner.

yea this.

wow that is a really good point thank you!
I feel you OP. Although, it's not so much that I lack "passion" or whatever you want to say in that vein; I lack motivation. I find it so hard to actually want to do certain things. It sucks absolute ass.

I feel the exact same, I'm in Uni doing a subject I don't even care about and only picked on a whim.
What I'm loving is this opportunity to explore my interests and improve my self when I don't need to work because I'm studying, so until I find a 'passion' I'm trying various things.
I'm going on a programme to teach English abroad because it's something you can commit to for a few years so I won't need to worry about applying for jobs, working for promotions or buying a house. Plus i was thinking of starting a shitty youtube channel like everyone else who stays in Japan and seeing if that can become popular enough to make a little money on the side from
I just can't see myself doing one thing my whole life, I've seen what complete committal to a profession does to you from my parents and I don't want that, I don't even think they know if they're happy, they're too busy to stop and think at times.

Im doing the same thing but I need my degree first and I'm having enough trouble with that as it is.
