Hi Magical Loser,

I think a healthier perspective to think about your "obsession" is... you are a very passionate and dedicated person! Not a lot of people are able to pool all their attention and focus it on doing the best they can at something. So kudos to you!

It sounds like you are having trouble making up your mind about what you are truly passionate about. Is this possibly a result of having had someone else tell you what to do for your whole life? If so, maybe you need a little bit of practice making decisions for yourself.

You can start out small by purchasing a new sweater you like for yourself. Or going out for a walk if you feel like you want a change of scenery. The point is to take action rather than wait for someone else to validate or give you an idea. I could give you endless suggestions for things to do...but at the end of the day, I am not you and I am not the amazing person walking in your shoes!

A potential issue I see you running into is that you can't really "control" your interests. You might have 1,000 interests you didn't know you had! But not being exposed to them, or possibly not having moral support to pursue your interests can hinder you from finding something that feels right for you.

Finding your life's purpose in a day is pretty tough. But once you feel more in power of making decisions and choices, you can properly brainstorm, try new things, and choose what you think is suitable for you. I wish you the best of luck!

For the record, I know exactly what you are talking about with the whole Neopets thing (I used to do the same as you). Don't sweat it!
