you may have different interest fields, which is completely okay. we do not have to like what everybody else likes.

Everyone is different, and being different from others necessarily isn’t a bad thing! I’m pretty much different from everyone I know, and I’m happiest being myself than trying to fit in. Your true self is your best self!

Because everyone has different interests. You have to find something that makes you happy not others. Recognize what else is going on and why you are not able to find joy. There may be a reason you are feeling this way. Find what makes YOU happy and go from there. It is okay to not have the same interests as others. It makes you unique, it makes you YOU. Remember some times in your life when you were able to find joy in things and be happy and try to look at what is similar and what is different for you.

Everybody is different. You are feeling frustrated because you do not have the same interests in the people around you, but there are many other people in the world who are just like you and will love the things you love. It is okay to feel the way you do. It is okay to not like things that some other people may not like and it is okay to be frustrated with that, but you will be able to find people who are interested in the same things you are. You are not alone, you will never be alone

Just because you can't find the same joy in things other people do doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. You find joy in different things because you are your own, individual person with your own passions, desires, and dreams. It's great that you explore the hobbies and passions your friends around you have, but remember to make yourself the priority. Spend time doing things that bring you true joy and call upon your individualized skills and interests. Personally, I think it's awesome and amazing to be different and have different interests. It gives you awesome stories to talk about with others and gives you a different perspective in life.

Everyone has different hobbies. You just might not be interested in your friends hobbies. And that's okay. Find things that you are interested in.

no body has the same interests you aren't always going to enjoy the same things that other people do and that's okay it's okay to have different interests and it's okay not to like the same things that other people like.

There are many possible reasons for that. I asked myself that same question all of my life until I went to the doctor and found great counselors. I am diagnosed with Major Dessive Disorder, along with many other things. My body does not make those "happy" chemicals that it's supposed to. I suggest seeking professional help to see where this is coming from. Whether it be with working with a doctor, a counselor, or both, I believe that is the best way to start to find the answers you're looking for and find and work on the root of the problem. Best of luck! I am always here for support! Remember that you are not defective, you are not broken, and you are not abnormal. You are normal. And you are capable of anything you put your mind to. You are a lovable, capable, worthy human being that deserves the very best this life can offer!
