Why can't I seem to naturally develop any interests?

Post Reply New Topic

Who else struggles to find and maintain an interest or hobby activity? I know that lots of us on the spectrum have a special intense focus on a particular topic, but I am the total opposite. Even if I do think of being interested in something, I'm always stuck in the "thinking" mindset and can't transition to the "doing" mindset. I'm not using excuses to avoid doing things that most people find intuitive. It seems as I try to force my curiosity, it has no ability in me to occur naturally. Sometimes I feel like an incapable human being, because who wants to interact with someone with no natural curiosity.

How can I be fixed so I can better focus and develop interests and curiosity naturally?

I have a history of not sticking with something.
A few things have including
Comics aka graphic novels
Harmonica playing
Sleight of hand magic
Improv comedy
Air hockey/table tennis

I dunno, I think most of my interests are probably more thinking interests than doing, its hard to do anything when you're not completely independent and have no money.

I'm exactly like this.

that's exactly me ! i even doubted that i belong to the spectrum since i don't have the interest in any activity

Thinking is a great interest.
As a ventriloquist I have though of having a part of my program called "Voices in my head, dot com

It would use no puppets
Just me talking parts of my brain.
It been brewing in my mind decades before seeing the great movie Inside Out.

I've already used ventriloquism to talk with my hand, stomach, ears and eyes.
