- dceddia 1y agoIf it turns into treating it as a “should” then my experience is yes, definitely, that’s a death knell for basically anything. Without the “should” it continues to be fun. The trick is threading that needle.

- esteth 1y agoIn my experience this is more related to treating the hobby like a chore or job instead of doing it for the fun of it, even though you're bad at it. I think the relationship is kinda the other way around - you'll feel like your hobby is "serious" when you stop having fun with it.
