how can I stop losing interest in my hobbies?

Pretty much every time I find a new hobby or fandom I always get way too into it. Sometimes even a little obsessive. But before I can get good at it or after I've been a fan of it for a while I lose interest and can care less to bother with it at all. It's hard to explain because I still want to like it but I just don't. I bounce from one thing to the next and I know that expanding interests is a good thing but I also want to keep interested in them long enough to actually get good. How can I stop from losing interest in the things I like so quickly?

    You haven't found something you really like, if you had, you wouldn't lose interest. There is nothing wrong in expanding your interests and trying different things as long as you're not hurting yourself or others. What's wrong with variety? At least you're not bored with one thing for too long. Keep looking around and trying different things as eventually you will find something that will hold your interest. Life is too short to be bored by something that does not hold your interest just for the sake of not feeling shallow. Keep looking!

    Take care.

    You're thinking too hard, if you don't like it don't force yourself to continue with that hobby, it'll only make you resent it. Come back to it if you have the urge, but don't worry, someday you'll fine one you love.. or at least one that makes you a **** ton of money.

    I'm the same way.

    My biggest advice is do as I do... I got in to wrestling a while back and it sucks. But I stick with it because it's some thing that I feel necessary to do. So numb your mind and do as youre told
