I'm not interested

Ahhh, When I am like that I am called annoying so yes I am like that. And I seem to want them to know everything about it also so that is why it is annoying for them..lol

I start off wanting to know everything about a subject but then get sidetracked by something more interesting. I think they call it a grasshopper mind nowadays but when I was at school it was classed as the behaviour of a slow learner. That's why I never got any decent results on anything, because I'd start on something like the tudors and decide learning about the people not the monarchs was the interesting bit and they didn't ask the questions I knew the answers to. I am now a mine of useless information though which doesn't get you a good job but makes conversation with anyone fairly easy.

Hi p1, [i]I am also like that when I am very interested! I will not stop asking questions or researching about the subject...and sharing what I learned to the people around me.. But, when I am not also interested, I can't focus and hard to retain even a single detail![/i]

I am just like you! I am fascinated by the history surrounding Henry VIII, his 6 wives and their children! I am an racle on the subject, all of my friends think it's a bit sad, I can't help it though I just find it really interesting and want to know more and more about it! I look at it this way though, they might think I'm a history geek but at least I have a specialist subject for if I ever get to go on mastermind! hehe xx

YES, obession can be a WONDERFUL thing. I love learning new things. However, I have been known to spend soooo much time preparing that I lose sight of the finish. I have to remind myself to get my emotions back in check or I can ruin a totally wonderful experience. But then too, the preparation can be half the fun of learning. Assuming you are in learn mode....happy travels!!!

When my interest is peaked i usually like to learn as much as i can but i don't think i become obsessed i do like to be well informed and look at a number of sources. i like to gain new skills/knowledge and it's something that comes naturally but i much prefer to spend spare time being creative. Just curious do you then pass the info you've learned on?

I can be like this with some things although I usually get bored or find a new subject quite quickly. I have a problem sometimes in that I read factual books where there are often several subjects about which I would like to learn more. The most interesting thing I've learnt recently is about a fellow called Count Saint Germain (I've got a discussion about him somewhere) and now I can't find any new information. I have found all I can find but I need to know more. Isn't that typical?!

I am not interested to the extent of obsession....but if I am interested in something, I try to get to know as much as I can. In fact it was only last week that my husband said the same thing about me. Anything I get interested in, I get so absorbed in it, that other things take a backseat for a while.....which in my opinion was a good thing...but he sees it as a negative aspect (lol....maybe because he has to then pull his weight around the house).

I do get that way. I try to not bother my friends/family with my obsessions, but sometimes it can't be avoided. Sometimes they fade, but they seldom go away completely.

yes i am a bit like this also.when i see something that interests me i go to town on it.especially if it is arty.it is definately annoying for my family as i am always asking them uestions about certain things that are related to my new found interest.lol.cheers sue

Yes, I am, too. Very annoying, isn't it? It's usually all or nothing for me.

I p1kef1sh can you explain to me; ¿Why here in Puerto Rico, the governor, judges, senators, and the legislators, are called Honorables or Lordships. When the only thing they can do, is spend all the income tax money, in personnal things, fancy cars, gasoline, personnal drivers, fancy restaurants, and federal fundings going dry for funny things? And then the most important things of daily life, for all the people in Puerto Rico; going down the drain. No money for students loans, college funding, food and water, public housing, hospitals, medicines, and others. But there is money for their pay rate increases, and daily food intake of $140.00 and fancy clothing every day, plus all they can waste with friends.¿Can you explain? !No one here can do so to me¡!What about it p1kef1sh?

Morning Piky,well the sky is blue here,the washing is on,the dig is asleep and you have no need to ask where Mr Ruby is!..on business of course lol.Now im not sure if this situation of yours is comparable to a disorder,an OCD.lol,I dont mind listening to anything and learning about anything to a certain degree,but I wouldnt want to eat sleep and drink it.My mum once became obsessed with the life of Henry the Eighth and that was a trying time let me tell you ,I used to have to listen to all the tales of his wives and how they met their end etc,well I was extremely pleased when the fascination waned.I might have to feel a little sorry for dear Mrs Pike,I hope you arent boring the pants off of her.

well this is it with everyone so u don think it is only ur problem wll try to live with it as life must go and go and u ve to develop urself many more things in life which will help you and others too to grow up. i am wishing that u come out of this problem as soon as u can.

in my case no..but still curious and be content of little information i know and not really find a way to know every minute details of a certain things or even an interested scope or something(situation) to that effect...but if the information is right there in a book then maybe i will read till i finish..

I start of wanting to know about the subject then I aways stray away and move onto something else. I have always been a slow learner when it came to theory and reading up on information, that's probably why I didn't do so well at school. I just learn enough to get by. I'm trying to change , a little bit at a time everyday. It's amazing what I do find that I should of known before LOL

Hi p1ke yes I get obssessed with new interests and really dig my heels in on them but then something else will come along and I get interested in that too so in all I cant stay put in one thing all the time as another always attracts my attention littleowl

im the same way.. when i get interested in something i want to know everything and as soon as possible and depending on my attention span i can go on tangents of wanting to learn about that one thing for a long time or 5 minutes lol

Hi p1kef1sh, I am a bit like that and drives every one mad but if the subject That I doing gets too hard then I likly to give up because no one would help me, Tamara

I don't know pikey. It would depend on what we are talking about. It depends on the topic. If it is something that really interests me then I probably would want to know as much as possible about it. Yes, I could tend to be to the point that I would get obsessive about it. Is that what you're trying to say? What is this subject that has you so crazy? Can you tell?
