Things to get interested in

Hope

I need a new interest, something to get engrossed in, that involves facts. I need to get so obsessed that it overshadows my horrible anxieties. An absorbing special interest is probably the best anxiety cure for myself that I can think of. When I used to have obsessions, in the Titanic, for instance, I had fewer anxieties.

What things are you interested in? What do you find absorbing and why?

  • Animation is a good one for me. I'm taking a course in Digital Animation at uni right now. Once you start learning not only animation techniques, but how to construct stories or analyse existing forms of animation.

    This means that watching any tv show or film (as a lot of animation techniques are often used as CGI or other effects even in 'normal' shows) gives me tons to enjoy. It means I can watch movies repeatedly and not get bored. The first time, I observe the general feel of the film, the way its intended to be viewed, the second time, I pay attention to characters, their development, the third time, the details of animation and sub-plots, so on and so forth.

    This is also pretty good at helping me learn how NT's express emotion, because I can study animated characters with others and we can discuss how 'real' the emotions are etc.
