Losing Passion

[PyroChamber]

What do you think is probably the last thing you've truly lost passion for?

A hobby, a TV show, a job, a person?

 

[Team Andino]

Over the years Ive slowly started to grow distant from professional wrestling. Ive been a fan since 96 and its hard to say after so much has happen that I'm slowly growing away from it. Eddie Guerrero's death hit me hard an the Benoit tragedy may of been the beginning of the end.

 

[Holiday]

I've definitely lost my passion for skateboarding. That was my favorite thing to do from the time I was 12 until about 18 or 19. Now I've just stopped completely.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I've lost my passion for videogames. I still dig the hell out of them but it's not a passion anymore.

 

[Lantern Venom]

Music. I had a huge collection in my early 20s and listened constantly. Now, I have a couple of Christmas CDs only and I never turn on the radio. I can't explain it.

Seconded. My glory days of gaming are long over, and with so much on my mind in these days of adulthood..I honestly just can't keep up with the newer games.

Yup, although I've never been much of a gamer. I buy them still, out of curiousity more than anything, but I hardly play.

Making/playing music.
I've played in about 5 bands since 95 and even started recording my own music a few years ago but have lost all passion for it.
I still would love to be playing in a band but really don't have any time for it and havn't been "making the time" to try and get anything going.
As for making my own, part of the problem I think is the same as the band thing and the other is that since my life has been going very good over the last few years I havn't felt the drive to write.
I think all my passion for recording came from anger and depression.

I'd really like to try and do stuff again though....maybe after school is out.

 

[Majic Walrus]

Gaming, music, Online RPGs. Really the few games I play, the comics I love, and this website are my last outlets of geekiness.

 

[Knightsaber Priss]

I think I'm starting to lose my passion for...well...passion. I'm in a serious romantic rut with too many dim prospects that I've started dreading the dating scene altogether because of all the disappointments I've stumbled across. The usual pattern has always been that either I like a guy but he isn't into me or a guy likes me but I'm not into him. It's all getting very frustrating.

 

[Captain Planet!]

Video games. Saturday morning cartoons (Mostly because they come on 3 hours earlier than they're supposed to around here, but also because they're bad nowadays). Frosted Flakes. Skateboarding (I was never that good at it in the first place, but I still liked to do it).

And I haven't even read a comic book that wasn't in a collected/Graphic Novel form in months.

I'm the same way, almost exactly. Ever since my depression a few years ago, I haven't been able to really care about music. I used to be really dedicated for my age, but now I'm at the point where it doesn't matter.

Same here, but I think part of that is because I haven't bought one of the newer systems.

 

[Nirvana]

I've lost my passion for video games as well. I still enjoy playing on my X-Box, Wii or any of the old school systems I have, but I hardly ever play willingly. Usually I only play when people come over and want to play, or sometimes I just whip out a system and play for a few weeks straight, but that's about it.

 

[Prison Mike]

I've truly lost passion for video games. I'm in the midst of losing passion for tv (I've been watching less and less over the years). My passion for movies, however, has never been as high as it is right now.

 

[The Guard]

Baseball. I still like it...but I used to live it.

 

[PyroChamber]

For me it's graphic design.

When I was studying it in college I was all for it, but after I graduated I tried looking for work in the field and wasn't getting anywhere. Now I don't even care for graphic design anymore, not to mention that it's a difficult field.

 

[Spider-Fan]

As sad as it may be, I've grown a little more distant from football over the last few years. I still love the sport and watch many games, but I used to be the kind of guy who would make sure he was free Sunday to watch the Browns even if they suck. This season, I didn't care that much about missing games. As I've grown closer to films, my passion for football has gone down

 

[ttotheusher]

Ever since I was like 8 years old all I've ever wanted to do is make films...but after going to college to study the subject I've lost all motivation for doing it. Still havent decided what I want to do for a career.

I guess this happens with a lot of people in college. Go and study for something you really want to do, then once you're done with college you lose interest in it.

 

[Spider-Fan]

That happened with me and teaching. I went to college for education, learned it is not my first choice anymore, and opting for film school

 

[Manic]

Anime. I used to love the hell out of anime. I used to keep up on the latest news, maintain an anime website, watch stuff before it ever came on Adult Swim, go to FanimeCon, ect.

Nowadays, I watched the newest Tenchi OVA, and I try to stay up late at night to watch the anime on Adult Swim-- if I feel like it.

Funnily enough, I was looking into changing films for teaching.

 

[DarbyD53]

Playing Basketball. I never played on a team for school but I'd play almost everyday 2-3 hours from age 14-19. I'm 27 now and over the years I'd play 10-20 times, but the last 2 years...well last time I picked up a ball was Nov 2007

 

[Spidey-Bat]

It's not that I've lost a passion for it, but I've given up on toys. I used to collect Marvel Legends, Transformers, and certain Lego themes. I stopped collecting Marvel Legends when Hasbro took over; by then most characters I liked were already released and the figures no longer came with dioramas or comics. Transformers and Legos I stopped collecting because I have no room for them and they will eventually wind up in my attic.

I still look at that stuff when I go to stores. It's a little sad when I see something interesting but know it's pointless to buy since it'll just end up in a closet or something.

 

[squeekness]

Exercise. But I still do it anyway.
