The extent I get “into” something is, I enjoy doing it… but I don’t make it a point to be so into it that it ever really infringes on any of my free time. Like I like hiking, I’ve been on some pretty major hikes, but I approach the whole thing in a pretty utilitarian way. I don’t think about it anymore than it needs to be thought about, I don’t obsess over the trail and the gear, I line it out, but what I need, go on the hike and then I’m done. Or like the gym, I don’t revolve my life around it… I don’t follow a bunch of influencers, obsess about how much I’m lifting or PRs or getting stronger. I go, I work out, I leave and I don’t think about anything else. The closest thing that I’m “into” would be sports, but even that is very point and shoot, I follow my team at arms length, I don’t get sucked into the drama or storylines, I watch the game, and maybe focus on an analytical point here or there beyond it and that’s it… I don’t discuss the team, I don’t obsess about any news on them. I just don’t know what it feels like to be “into” something to the point that you’re choosing to invest more than the bare minimum amount of time in it. And honestly jealous that I don’t get to experience that sort of thing. submitted by /u/Aggressive-Dot1944
