A little more about my interests

Paddy

Hello again, everyone. In addition to the other interests that I mentioned in an earlier post, I am also very interested in playing strategic boardgames against the computer(although I am sadly not very good at many of them). My main favourites are Oware, Go, and Chinese, Japanese, and International chess. I have played them against computers for many years, on and off, and now I have started to enjoy playing them again recently.

Does anyone else find that their interests change over time, or do most of you tend to stick with the same hobbies or interests? I love trying new things, but that tends to mean that I never get very good with one particular thing. It's something I would really like to change about myself.

I look forward to hearing from anyone who would like to comment.

    I find that I have a bit of a carousel of interests: I'll tend to be interested to the point of obsession with one particular thing, then another, and another in sequence; but I don't actually really ever get bored of any of them and will come back to them again sooner or later.  I guess I'm a sort of "non-committal obsessive"!

    Regarding games, I've never really been one for board-games, although I think at least part of that is that I'm also not extremely good at them.  But I do like computer games a lot (in spite of typically not being much good at them either); the similarity is that I also like playing against the computer and don't really appreciate it when a game tries to shunt me into a multi-player environment, even if I can potentially ignore other people being around.  It just makes me uncomfortable, I don't really like being observed either IRL or as a virtual avatar.
