  Ha, that’s definitely the case for me. I would even say that I’m more sensitive than other people in that sense.

  But that’s more about avoiding or disliking something (which I can tell relatively easily) I don’t seem to crave or desire specific things though.

  So most of my life is decided by things I want to avoid, rather than things I actually want myself.

  I think even my choice of studies and work was made that way, and now I realise that I don’t really like those either, and I don’t know what to do instead.

    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
