I don’t think I have any hobby that I enjoy that doesn’t also carry with it a healthy measure of embarrassment about liking it so much, so it would not offend me if others told me how much less they care about it. That’s the nature of hobbies. I like coffee, but I do not share the perspective that I have to relentlessly pursue a perfect cup. I believe that those who seem unfulfilled with their current batch are seeking diminishing returns on enjoyment — as if they will be eternally unhappy, worried that there might be a better version of their drink out there, still undiscovered. My comment was not to diminish the relevance of having a hobby but rather referencing the unhealthy mindset of those who become addicted to the pursuit of something I think one might never feel can be reached.

> Now take your hobby, and have someone say "Glad my senses are too dull to care about this".

If everybody liked your hobby the same amount as you do, it wouldn't be your hobby.

My point is, I don't go into a thread about strategy video games and say "wow, glad my ADHD doesn't let me be interested in this topic!".

Perhaps I'm agitated this morning. Ironically perhaps, that I haven't had coffee in several days.
