Happens to me all the time; I'm engaged 100% for a period of a few weeks then...I just drop it/them/whatever.

I'm especially bad about this with women. I'm super into a girl for a while then one day there's just nothing interesting at all. This is part of the reason I'm going to be forever single.

I think that's called maturing 
Before Katrina I spent thousands of $$$ and many hours learning how to detail cars as a hobby. Now teh Yaris is lucky if it gets run through the car wash once a month.
A few years ago I couldn't get enough of watching MMA ... now I'm still a fan, but I get enough at times.
I spend more spare time learning to increase my work related technical competencies than ever before.

Is it paying off? Or is it likely to pay off (raise/bonus/promotion) in the near future?

Possibly ... it's just nice to be able to converse in a technical environment without feeling like a big dummy
it's called depression
depression - seasonal depression?

I believe you if by "technical competencies" you mean "o-ring contortion ability".

Thanks for Mo'ing up Scotsman's "Anyone else spontaneously lose interest?" thread

It happened to me a few years ago and I am still the same. I used to get excited about certain things, like watching the latest movie or hanging out with friends but now I am just blah. Who gives a shit.
A good example of this is I buy movies but never watch them. I got 2012 and Where the Wild Things are and they will sit on my DVD case with Saw 4 cut that came out like 2 years ago. I still haven't seen it lol
It is probably depression. Plus I work all the time. Life generally sucks.

Ditto. I have a bunch of movies that I buy, but then lose interest after the first 15 minutes. I don't blame depression. I blame Hollywood's incredible marketing machine.

I rent them from Netflix ... they charge my account every month and the movies sit on top of the DVD player for months at a time

Guns are awesome and I can't see myself ever losing interest in them.

That's generally the amount of time it takes to get to know someone. So that's probably not that unusual.

Don't know what it is but every so often I just lose interest in people/places/things. One day I'm really into something then bam not interested at all. Happens a lot with people.
So anyone else the same way?

Please dont let it affect you with people as did with me in a few strong cases
you and I were treated in many similar ways when you younger and now
I have cut off people ( girls ) way too fast since I was not treated well other girls on some examples ( not liked cus I was ugly)
2 of the VERY pretty girls were totally in to me,
and I let my coldness cut them off prematurely .
one of them even said 1 year later " you just dont stop talking to someone when you share like that")
and she was right........it was wrong to hurt someone else based on you own negative experiences
All the time. I'm the world's shittiest friend, but I do it with things and activities, too ... my husband points out that I have a tendency to follow the "some good = more better" approach, but I'm also a grand starter and lousy over the long haul.Don't know what it is but every so often I just lose interest in people/places/things. One day I'm really into something then bam not interested at all. Happens a lot with people.

Honestly it had nothing to do with the other person or how they treat me. It's all me, I have done it to people who treated me extremely well and to people who tried to walk all over me(something I don't put up with).
I do find it a little amusing that you mention how I was treated when I was younger since I pretty much never talk about myself or my past. Point of fact there isn't a single person on here who knows very much about me. And I like it that way.

Honestly I'm probably one of the best friends someone could ever have. Although I consider very few people to actually be my friend. There is nothing I won't do for a friend in need. As long as someone doesn't try to take advantage of my friendship or use me I'm in it for the long haul. I'm usually a slow starter and a strong finisher when it comes to most things.

No worries man, I just find it funny that anyone on here thinks they know anything about me. It's just like I tell people in real life 95% of what comes out of my mouth is either sarcasm or movie quotes (mostly sarcastic movie quotes
). It's up to them to sort out the 5% that is serious. I have layer upon layer of defense mechanisms to keep people out.As for the gym I just don't talk to people or give short one word answers. I pretty much get told on a weekly basis about how big of an asshole I am, I usually smile and thank them for noticing.

Mee too! LOOLOLOLO
But I think the Staff finally tolerates me after I hugged an old person or two or just finally talked a sentence and sounded harmless
Do you ever wonder if you wanted to be like most other people? or are you glad of it ( the experiences you have)
For me it has made me a tad wiser, but on bad days i found it to be painful to know

happens with things....i can get bored of stuff pretty easily.
tends to be happening with people more often, which is kind of scary. it makes me feel like a bad person but you can't really change the way you feel. What's worse is that when you look at it rationally, sometimes they even have a bunch of great qualities that you think would be ideal and you can't understand "why" you lose interest.
as a result...i've been labeled as cold, distant and a few other things by women i've dated recently.

I'm that way everywhere I go not just at the gym. If someone annoys me I will turn around and walk off while they are in mid sentence or just tell them to shut up.
No I have never wanted to be like "normal" people. The more people that dislike me just means the less amount of people I have to deal with.

a Brilliant Nordic guy ( I MEAN smart SMART, who married a TV anchor in my area was you to the 3RD degree but he pushed it and liked it that way) ( maybe you do push it like him , but I have not heard of you getting into legal trouble lol)
This I mean he would cold walk up to someone IN the gym who he knew was some "no good punk" on some instinctual level and talk shit but in VERY smart kinda way to provoke, and just get them on technicalities but also say Fuck you I'll ripp off your head and do it legally
he Liked me for some reason and one day he actually let me talk to him on how i thought most people are very good, just terribly lost sometimes or not given a chance at all.
I dont know what happened but he kicked me in the face o,ololool ...........no just kidding
He actually listened to what I had to say and was even nicer to me........and i think I was positive in that way to him
that maybe there are people around that care, even for a guy like him
he also showed me that brute non apologetic force sometimes is all you need or exactly what you need for ANY reason

People? Friends? I'm 33 with a kid and a preggo wife. We both work FT and alot of times opposite shifts.
I have no time for friends, people or even myself.
I figure I got another 8 yrs of this ass wiping. It's just in me to take care of my own children and not get a babysitter, leave the kids with the wife etc. All to make the wif happy, and in turn FML
It's all worth it though

Not really.
I don't get bored easily. On the same note I don't get excited easily.
I'm usually pretty stable and predictable.
I do however try to avoid people who try to create turmoil in my life, or are a big drain on my energy. e.g. complainers, drama queens, and "debbie downers"
Yes.Don't know what it is but every so often I just lose interest in people/places/things. One day I'm really into something then bam not interested at all. Happens a lot with people.

I should have explained that better but I needed to wrap it up.
I'm a very, very good friend, in that I will literally do anything for you within my power to do. However, I have a tendency to uh, not call people, not visit people, not hang out, shit like that. I've had to explain to all of my friends (well, the couple I won custody of in the divorce, and who aren't in my coven) that they have to call me and not to take offense that I don't call. I just ... forget ... I dunno, I don't have anything to say
Actually the truth is, my ex husband cut me off from my friends from high school (I never had that many to begin with, only three or four) during our marriage we only hung out with his friends, and only one couple chose me over him when we got divorced so outside of my coven/tradition and this board I only have one other female friend, really. Probably just as well.
I'm not real good with plants, either ...

I don't seek conflict, I prefer to ignore everyone. As I was taught growing up never start a fight but always finish it.

I wan't questioning you at all just explaining me.
I'm bad about following through with some stuff. Anyone whom I consider a friend I do call/write/text on a regular basis to see if they are ok. I actually cut an entire group of people out of my life because they were incapable of the same courtesy. I told them that I was no longer going to be the one who always made contact. Took 5 months before the first person even bothered to check. Needless to say I didn't bother responding.
