I can definitely relate to this. I also go through "crazes" where I'm really into something and then, after a while, my interest fades and I drop whatever it is completely. I guess most people do this to a certain extent, but I do it a lot!! And like you with the bike, I have also frequently bought things to do with a new "hobby" and then they just end up in the garage!!
I also feel like I have kind of a split personality sometimes. I am not someone who is consistently one way. If that makes sense. I am very changeable in how I behave. A lot depends on my mood, and my mood changes quite a bit!
I have generally found it hard to know exactly what it is that I want. And I still struggle with this sometimes.
I do think it's helpful to try and make a list of some constants. There are some activities in my life that I have done consistently throughout and which to some extent define part of who I am. I try and remind myself of these things when I'm having an identity crisis because these constants help to ground me.
Similarly I think it's helpful to write down a list of core values. What do you really believe in?? What's really important to you?? I have opinions about some things which do change a lot. But I have other convictions which are pretty unshakeable. It might only be two things, or whatever, but it's a start. And it can be helpful to keep reminding myself of what is really important to me.
Are there any things in your life you have enjoyed consistently throughout?
