I’ve definitely been on the same boat as you wondering is I had some kind of attention problem. The problem definitely is not you. It’s just a challenge being extremely curious in a world of people that are self-absorbed and locking themselves into a tiny little bubble.

I get what you’re saying about seeing yourself in every persona. I sort of felt like that with “Refuse to Choose.” But all the suggestions she had were great regardless of whether I was confused about which category I fall in. Maybe you should dabble in different areas and solutions without thinking, flip a coin or something. If it sucks, trash it. If it works, more power to you!

Thanks for stopping by, Brian. Glad to see you here

Don’t worry, I ramble too when I write (hence the looooooong comment I wrote on your blog, lol)

But seriously, sometimes not finishing what you started is less detrimental than finishing to begin with. Sometimes when can see the ship going down per se, it’s better to get off sooner than later. You know it’s going down, so the longer you hang on board, the more time you’re wasting for nothing.

I also notice that in our times it seems like a lot of people enjoy living vicariously through others; causing them to take it personally when you stop something, in their eyes, prematurely. A lot of parents are like that of course, but it often goes even deeper. Even though it’s a bit blunt, whenever somebody criticizes me for not following through on something, I usually have to question them over the fact that if they care so much for it, why aren’t they doing it themselves?

Like you said, people get stuck in keeping up with the Jones’, but often times they don’t even know why. If someone gets stuck living vicariously through me that’s all fine and well, but they can’t complain when I make a choice that they don’t like!

Instead of living through others, I think people would be much happier blazing their own trail and doing whatever it is that THEY like, not simply abiding by society and “grinding it out” just because that’s what’s expected of them.

Anyways… the first half of this comment seems like it made some sense, but after I that I sort of veered off into unknown territory But hey, no going back now!

Oh yea, keeping up with the Jones’ and comparing yourself with others is a biiiiig, beyond big problem. And in my opinion, it’s the only reason why the rat race exists. People say they need the big job and the big title to ‘survive’ but for the most part, they really need a way to fund all the junk they feel will impress other people and society as a whole. Despite the inflation going on right now, I don’t think it takes nearly as much money as people think it does to “survive.” Achieving financial independence (making enough to survive and then some without relying on someone else) is another story, which I won’t get into here. But yea … people who can see past the comparison, whether they are rich or poor, I think are a lot happier overall.
