Is a very broad question I know. But I realized that aside the things that liked as a kid (videogames and listening music) I gave up on everything else or failed in other things. I gave up on going to the gym, gave up trying to learn how to play a guitar, i gave up on having a YouTube channel, if I fail the theory exam of my driving licence I think I won’t try again, shit I gave up on having a social life… And so on. Is that normal in your opinion?

    It’s normal to try something and decide that it’s not for you, but this isn’t healthy.

    It reminds me of my brother. He always sees the “top of the staircase” (playing a video game, being able to play guitar, losing weight) but usually after the first or second step (after he’s already bought everything he needs) and realizes that it’s going to take longer for a day or two and gives up on it.

    Some things come easy, but not much. And if you always give up when it stops being easy, that’s exactly what you’ll end up with: not much.

    Don’t stick with anything that you don’t enjoy, just for the sake of sticking with it, but if you really want something, you’re going to have to put in a lot more effort than you are right now.
