What brings you joy and happiness or, what are you passionate about? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I’ve recently realized (thanks to another Lemmy discussion), that I have no joy, passion, or happiness left 🤣

I want to live vicariously through the collective! What’s bringing you joy, happiness, and/or what are you passionate about.

Let’s keep this safe for work 🙂

As always, thank you all so much for answering my questions! I hope you everyone is having a great day!!

I have never experienced such things, at least from what others have said what those things are, people try to explain it to me and it doesn't make much sense. I can understand passion but joy and happiness is such a odd concept to me. Like what gives me dopamine? Or things that you feel "good inside". It's all so confusing.

[–] randomcruft@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 days ago

That’s fair enough. Not everyone may “feel” those things. That’s completely fine. I don’t think it has to be confusing. It’s just not something that registers with you and that’s ok.

Appreciate the response!!

I used to have a lot of things that brought joy/happiness, but the only one I have now is nature. Birds, trees, soil, bugs, lizards, rocks, clouds... Endlessly fascinating.

Whether a hundred or one, it’s great you have something that brings you joy. True, nature is pretty fascinating overall.

Thanks for sharing!!

Competitive team video games as a way of having fun while getting to know yourself and others better.

Nice! I tried video games and usual suck at them haha. I can barely get past intro bosses most of the time. I think they are cool though.

What game(s) are you currently playing?

Thanks for this!
