I feel the same. I came back here to read updates or read new ones but can't find anything to entertain me. I feel so bored even tho my fave ones have updates

The same happened to me with a lot of things...I was having a rlly hard time that one year and I lost interest in everything and all I did was sleep, day and night. It was even worse knowing I was losing interest in those things but, after I took a break and focused on doing new thing's I was able to take my mind off things and come back to most of the things I love. I used to love interacting with people before but after that phase of mine I don't like interacting with them as much anymore. So I've become more introverted than before, but not completely so sometimes when I feel like it my extroverted side comes out. You could say I became an ambivert after that lol. U might not be able to enjoy some of the things u used to before but instead of being hung up and sad about it, y not try new thing's that u haven't done before or thing's u wanted to do but haven't been able to and move on? who knows after taking a break from ur usual hobbies the urge to take it up again might just come up. And even if that doesn't happen it's fine, u can just be happy to have the memories u do with those previous hobbies u enjoyed.

hm.. im so sorry to hear that...i have experienced the same feelings in the past regarding reading books, manga, films, etc. i realised i was depressed and losing interest in the things i loved. i dont know what you're going through nor if you're looking for advice, but i took a step back and didn't force myself. i let myself sit with this new feeling and tried pursuing older interests i once had or tried something new. i too look to activities for escapism. Going for walks, musical instruments, etc helped me. i hope you remember there are people feeling just as lost as you, even if they're not depressed and just feeling different about their passions, but it IS possible to find your way back. eventually.

It’s ok. I think we all take a break at times. Step out and do some different things for a while. The nice thing about our books is they don’t ever leave us and will be there waiting to take you away once again when you return.
