When something looks fun, you start it right away, without a plan, and see how it goes.
So this month it's cooking, next month an instrument, then a new sport; your interests keep changing, and each time you throw yourself in for real.
You come across as curious and full of experiences. But because you've finished far fewer things than you've started, you sometimes blame yourself: 'Why can't I stick with anything?'
What you're good at
You're the first to try something new, and the most casual about it. Because you don't hold back to prepare first, you can tell people what something is actually like while they're still deciding whether to try it.
What you often hear
- “You started something new again?”
- “What happened to the thing you were doing before?”
What wears you out
Sticking with one thing all the way to the end is a real struggle for you. Once the first excitement is gone and you still have to keep at it, the urge to quit weighs on you more than the task itself.
For the people around you
You keep bringing new kinds of fun to the people close to you. But when your interest fades first, even in something you started together, the other person may feel, 'I've been left on my own with this.'
Worth trying
When you start something new, set an end date in advance, like "I'll try it for one month." With an end set, stopping isn't failing, and you can see that month through to the end.
