    People like rapid learning and advancement. It makes them feel good. The longer you are in a hobby the less often you will learn new things about it. Then you no longer feel rewarded doing the hobby.

    I think people with this problem just like learning new things, and when learning gets slow with one subject, they’d rather switch to a new subject where quick learning happens again.

      The way you framed this is lovely; learning is a perfectly valid hobby in and of itself. /gen

        I’d like to think so too, or else I have a big problem!

        I will say framing it this way makes it feel better when I move on from one hobby to another.

        Also I do have a few hobbies I haven’t gotten tired of, mostly because I am still learning quickly with those despite how long I’ve been doing them.
