Yes. Sometimes when you spend too much time around the things you love without a break, you can grow too used to them, and sooner or later even dislike them. Usually when you spend enough time away, though, you'll begin to miss it again. It's healthy to spend at least some time away from some things you love.

No, usually it is not. While it might be normal to once in a while lose interest in something you used to love, like a hobby or activity, losing interest in everything you used to love might be a symptome for something serious, like depression.

No, this usually indicates that this person who lost interest in things they use to love might be experiencing depression.

It is normal for young people to move on or grow out of some activities because they develop new interests. However if you feel that you don't find enjoyment in anything, this could be a sign of depression.

It is normal. Everyone has problems in life. Not a single person lives without problems. Loosing interest is where things happens ...traumatic experience or anything related something i don't know ..but maybe yeah talking with someone like us 7 cups of tea ..can help ya ..come in back in track but then maybe question yourself or even write your feelings down your dreams ....and maybe you will one day get back ..but then ..yeah its hard...

If you are going through a state of depression then you could definitely lose interest in everything all of the sudden. Another thing that could cause your interests to *slowly* change is just the natural course of life and growing as a person.

It is not 'normal' to lose interest in everything you used to enjoy, however it is not uncommon with depression or certain other mental health conditions. It is possible for your interests and hobbies to change especially if your circumstances do, for example starting university and deciding that football simply doesn't have the same appeal as when you used to play with your home team, and that now hockey is much better. Losing interest in everything that you used to love is worrying though and suggests that you may be losing your ability to experience pleasure, the term for which is anhedonia. It may well be worth speaking to a medical professional and accessing good mental health care, as well as reaching out to your wider support network.

Losing interest is a side effect of depression. That might be an indicator that you might have it. Maybe you can look into it.

Unfortunately, yes that is one of the symptoms of depression. If one used to love drawing, during depression their sketch pad will be left untouched. Once you have prescribed medication and/or therapy, you might pick up your interests again, or find new interests.
