I lose focus easily, I can be working hard on a project for days and then suddenly lose interest and do nothing for months.

Do nothing for months.... that's a fatal flaw. Gets you no where even when "sometimes doing nothing can be productive itself". Even CEOs I checked out to see how little they sleep. They sleep minimum 4 and a half hours a day and take a 2 week vacation 3 times a year... that's the most the brain can stretch itself imo. So don't flake out on us big guy I'm really happy to have your online human ass around. Breaks help with focus so I've found... I quit ritalin and all that junk in first year uni and always found a way back to my thoughts.

I get bored easily and rotate hobbies. I watch what I spend on stuff more closely as a result. I've been into woodworking for ten years but have only practiced it for maybe three of those. It varies with other stuff. I know I really want a racing drone right now but won't buy one b/c I'll lose interest in a couple months after dropping a stupid amount of money. Only real hobby I've kept up with is exercise b/c I just feel depressed as shit otherwise. (desk job)

This is probably mine, too. I'll want something ... then, when I finally get it, I'm bored with it in no time. Then I go chasing after the next whatever - LOL

I basically trust people a million times more than normal people trust others... I've had to develop really hard to not just trust anyone and put a filter on it. Been stolen from and robbed so many times because I don't even consider anyone a thief until afterwards... I do the same with money, I lend it without contract.... never had a knack for knowing people can be selfish.

Can I ask you a serious question? Do you regularly smoke pot? It's still illegal in my area and I haven't smoked it in years but I noticed the thieving dickbags in my life dried up when I stopped. I'm not making some "it's a gateway drug" argument or any of that nonsense.

I haven't had the problem nearly as much since I quit... However before I started I had it quite a bit too... It's just my fatal flaw and I've gotten better at dealing with it since being in Fort McMurray, Ontario. I worked my ass off and got so little for my efforts there... Housing? Kicked out after paying first and last twice.... Second time I got the law on my side and we stayed.. but it was a brutal wake up experience that taught me to never trust anyone. No matter how nice they present themselves.

Once I get good at something I lose interest in it.

there's nothing fatal about this though.... it doesn't ring true like the hips in third eye blinds song deep inside of you... no passion... try again Nitz says... not Gimpy... he's bored as fuck and isn't typing this very thing to you. Get away from Omega Prime at once.

This is me, really bad. I'll get so involved in something and jam out for about a week. Then I lose interest and it kind of just fades away into the next thing. Trying really hard not to keep doing it.

Its to the point where I'm almost afraid to get into anything anymore, because I don't want to lose the passion.

Not enough mental self-discipline.

Having a hard time being human to most people.

I was a very young insurance manager... at the least 1000 people in their houses. Thats not including wives, or husbands, or/and kids. I found it exhausting to be among so many different walks of earth I almost understand not feeling human... that is a fatal flaw imo but I don't share it... tough stuff

Everyone here looses interest easily...nobody elses focuses too much on something?

Depends on your need to be stimulated vs your need to learn or think harder imo...

I like to drift through life. I let nature and fate make my decisions for me. Fortunately, it's turned out quite well.

My motivation and focus is shit. If I can get my focus directed, though, then I'm a fucking fiend. I learned C# in a couple weeks about 7 or 8 years ago, then promptly lost interest. So at this point I know how to program, but I can't push myself to do it. I learned python, too, but forgot anything beyond basics. It pisses me off because it's something I should be good at. I'm a system administrator by trade, it would really help if I could get proficient with programming.

It's getting harder and harder, though. I can't function without deadlines. I was diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive) last year as an adult. That explains a lot of it. I'm been trying to develop ways to deal with it, medicine is super expensive.

I was diagnosed with adhd as a child and given pills that are now illegal because they're basically meth. Fuck pills, it isn't a diagnosable problem imo it's just you need to be more of yourself. I left school to chase a rare insect and caught it and did a presentation on it to my third grade class after being suspended for 2 days. Do Schools Kill Creativity, trust me it's worth a rewatch

My fatal flaw :

I cannot, will not, be involved in anything remotely related to cauliflower. Its bad. I've ostracized myself from many family members, I've lost jobs because of it, I've even had to divorce the love of my life because she brought home cauliflower mashed potatoes one night for dinner. Who fucking does that??

Broccoli has always been there for me, though. I don't know what I would do without it. It guides me through this valley of lesser cabbage filth. I truly owe it my life, which is why I've taken it upon myself to preach the good news.

Do you even know what you're fighting at this point?

Your comment made me pause and reevaluate my strategies. Truly, the enemy is unknown. Cauliflowers are sheisty phuks.
