Just wondering about this.

I have a friend who sometimes just specifically craves a certain dish from a certain food chain. (Like wicked wings from KFC or something)

Or they suddenly feel like watching a specific show (Like Boston Legal)

How does that work?
I never seem to experience something similar to that.
Is it common to feel like that?

    I don’t know if you do (and it’s none of my business, so I’m not asking), but if you suffer from depression, or are on some medications for it, a lack of enthusiasm can be a side-effect, and a review with your doctor may be needed.

      Not currently using any medication. Except for my stomach because I was vomiting almost every day for the past weeks.

      I think a lack of enthusiasm has been kinda the default for me for as long as I remember

        I’ve had life phases like that.

        It doesn’t bother me as much, today, as it did, in the past.

        Now, I focus on the things worth avoiding while I wait for my enthusiasm to return.

        For me, enthusiasm returns, in bursts, eventually.

          That’s nice to hear. I’ve had this one day this year, where I was feeling… I suppose I would call it ‘safe’. And then I would have motivation to do things, and when I watched a tv show, I could actually feel a bit the emotions of the characters in the show.

          First time i’ve experienced something like that.
