I don't like anything ..

[bigteethandlips]

I don't like:
Theatre
Art
Shopping
Concerts
Festivals
Music - I only listen to a small selection when in the car
Reading - only read 1 book a year on holiday
Radio
Celebrities- zero interest
Watching sport
Gardening

I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. Dh is the same, except for the sport. But I often feel like there is a hole in my life for something, but not sure what that something is

Do your children get exposed to any culture (theatres, museums etc) or do they just stay at home while you clean?

What do you talk to people about? Surely it impacts your conversation and how interesting you are as a person.

What do you do on holiday apart from eat?

That’s a good point. There’s only so much eating and running you can do on holiday.

Well so long as you are happy....!

But I find it hard to imagine not being interested in any of those things!!

Probably watches vlogs on holiday locations and plans the next holiday

I don't like a lot of typical things that others do.

I don't like music, films, alcohol, sport or dogs which I reckon makes me seem pretty weird.

How can housework be an interest? That’s like saying brushing your teeth is an interest. I cannot fathom what’s going on in people’s heads to have literally no interests. Surely if you’ve got a brain in your head you have to have some interests.

But surely you can see that virtually anything is more interesting than housework? It doesn’t make your friends superficial social butterflies who are terrified of solitude if they think going to a party/play/art opening/gig/ sports event is more interesting than dusting their skirting boards or organising their sock drawer.

Do you work, sort kids, sort house and go to bed? And that’s it? What did you do before dc?

I’m a bit like you op but don’t work so am doubly bored! What inspired me recently was an incredible South African safari.. thinking of doing a course in animal behaviour I’m fascinated by it.

You sound fun.

I don't watch TV or films... people think I'm weird. I just don't have the attention span!

It sounds really boring to me but it's your life. As long as you're not hurting anyone else - as others have said, as long as your kids are being given the opportunity to experience other things and aren't living in fear of messing up the pristine house.

What did you like doing as a child, OP? That can be a really good way to rediscover yourself and find what was there before adult responsibilities and tasks took over. Children are inherently creative.

The trouble with housework is that it's circular. It always needs doing again before long and that is so boring. Plus kids ruin your good work! I do think making the home - decorating, diy etc - can be satisfying and sometimes creative though.

Some people are like that. Weird thing is, I know people who aren't interested in a thing yet have loads of friends and never stop talking. It baffles me. I can never work out wtf they find to talk about. All that really matters, however, is that you're happy.

Personally, I'm very interested in literature, philosophy, popular science and the history of art. I love art galleries, walking in the countryside (what's left of it), and discovering new writers. But I'm not interested in sport, politics or cars. I find 90% of film and TV unwatchable, and I have minus zero interest in people's jobs or children. I also do not want to hear their 'hilarious' anecdotes about what they did at 'uni' or on their gap year. To be honest, I find books much more interesting than most people. Actually, the only people who really interest me are the ones who've read the books I've read or who like the painters I like. But then I'm sure I bore people who love rugby and formula one.

There you go! You love homemaking (no shame in that), eating out, holidays, running and family life. That's a life!

I wish I was crafty. All my friends make things endlessly - they crochet blankets and write novels and sew clothes and throw pots and paint and make prints or jewellery which they sell at craft fairs. I really want to want to do some of this stuff but I just don't want to. Even thinking about doing it makes me feel a bit grumpy for some reason. So much mess. So much faff.
