I'm from the EU, and after moving to North America with my partner I realized you can't just part-time anything in NA.
No matter what you are (goth/nerd/cyclist/painter/activist/etc), you have to dial it to 11 and be Really Serious about it. It was weird feeling like a wannabe at all of my hobbies, because I merely liked them, I wasn't serious about it with a goal-oriented diet+exercise regimen aimed for fast gains
- horns4lyfe 5y agoI don’t really get where you’re coming from on this. Who is telling you that you have to dial it to 11? The vast majority of people I know have lots of varied hobbies and interests and very rarely are they anything beyond casual interests. That’s one of the things I like about living here, is that people have lots of casual interests, and no one really thinks much of it. For example, I have lots of friends that are into playing music, but very few that actually perform. I suppose if you expect people to applaud you for dabbling, you’d be disappointed, but that’s true everywhere.
