I procrastinate things that i enjoy doing

[Former Shortcel]

Whilst i will hyperfixate on something for a while until moving onto the next thing in a cycle, most of the dopamine i receive is from mental masturbation of how enjoyable the thing i like doing COULD be

Sometimes i focus so much on procrastinating doing the thing i like by thinking about it instead, that i eventually lose the dopamine for it and move onto the next thing.

And in that whole span of time i never actually DID the thing i like

This happens more than we think. A lot of people say they're going to start a business or a podcast, and instead of actually starting it, they get the dopamine by telling people they're going to start it without even buying the equipment or even actually making plans to start it.

Its even just simple things for me too, it annoys me that i do this a lot with everything

For example I will remember a game i used to heavily hyperfixate on, but rather than actually play the game i will just think about how enjoyable it could be, watch videos on the game, research the game, everything but playing it.

I think this likely comes from a fear that i may not like the game anymore and am just trying to relive memories

uironically, I do this too, and it's giga cringe

but I'll think about ascending rather than actually ascending.

This thread is my life now. If I'm procrastinating on activities I liked in the past, do I even enjoy the activity anymore?

I do this too when delaying buying certain things, as my perception of my looks changes every 10 minutes

This is what i have questioned before. I think its likely a fear that youre not going to get the same enjoyment out of the activity that you originally did, so you mentally masturbate about how good it may still be. Since you dont want to face the possible reality that you may not like it anymore and have grown out of it
