i know exactly what you mean girl. I'm 23 now, but i started getting these feelings in my teens and i would feel so guilty and sad that i didn't enjoy things the way i used to anymore. Vacations, holidays, birthdays, hobbies, etc. People in my life like always joke that they dont even really know what i like doing in my free time or what my hobbies are or what i just like period, because i just don't really express interest for anything anymore i guess. And i dont even mean that in like a pity me, depressed, woah is me kinda way lmao. Like i just suddenly kinda became distant and numb from a lot at a young age and it's been like that since, including what used to bring me joy:/ so i feel ya
I had similar stuff recently. I now don’t like holidays or my birthday. It was very random since just last year I was excited for Christmas and my birthday, but this year I didn’t locate about Christmas, and I hated my birthday.
Hi, I came across this video randomly so let me give you my take: in a person's life, there are multiple transition phases. you can see this most clearly in children as they grow up, how their likes, dislikes and their perception and the interpretation of the world around them changes. This is all normal and everyone has this. Your issue may be to do with the particular way you try to interpret this. some people become over introspective or hyper vigilant and the solution is to challenge not your thoughts or feelings but how you interpret their meaning and significance. As you search for what it means to be the authentic you and your drivers and purpose in life, you may feel lost or bored. I suggest you look into understanding who you are instead of asking why you are the way you are. Who you are is something that is influenced by your genetics, upbringing, people you affiliate with and the contents you consume both physically and psychologically and can change through time. Therefore there has to be some amount of self acceptance and self compassion as you go along the journey. Try to find meaning and purpose that is true to you as you are now and do what you think is right for the stage of life you are in.
Being bored is actually a (good?) part of vacation, it's healthy to be able to feel bored out of your mind. Feeling the pressure drop so low that it almost becomes depressing is where we come to finally fully recharge ahahah so sad

Yeah I get that. It's a very horrible feeling and hard to accept
Hey I’m not a doctor, but I’d encourage you to speak with a therapist about depression, bipolar, borderline, and/or just anhedonia.
Ngl, smash
