For drawing self-promote commissions or print & sell copies of artworks, for guitar perform in a band on top of the practice, for basketball just train to a high level and play frequently, unless your innate abilities make it impossible to do so.
Is your self-pleasure intrinsically tied to how much money you can make? You can’t enjoy just doing hobbies for the sake of doing them even without the money?
Honestly no, I don't think so. I don't have hobbies anymore, for that reason.
Also this is the first time I met someone who is…numbed to pleasures. Are you bothered by it, or not? Because if not, then it’s all fine.
The ability to stay neutral is enviable indeed, too bad I’m bothered by negativity (pressures, guilt, shame, etc) spoiling positivity (the hedonism) as opposed to the delusional private utopia in my signature.
All I want is a private utopia vacuum just enough for myself. But I’m NOT selfish, it’d be nice if everyone else also had theirs, it’d be much better if everyone just follows their self-interests, that way no one is bothered. By self-interests I mean normal hobbies and desires, I don’t condone anything that threatens anyone’s peaceful lives.
