Can repeatedly doing a hobby lead to you liking it? It is very easy to dislike doing anything new when the results don’t meet your expectations. So does sticking out a hobby even though you don’t like it ever lead to good results or is it more damaging than helpful?

I know what you mean… well in my personal experience if I did something i didnt like, my tempermant went alot faster. I think alot of people just give up instead of liking it. I tried to learn guitar, but I got so frustrated with it that I just stopped, I can’t imagine anyone sticking to something they didn’t like. It’s not like acquiring a taste for food (because you can not like the food, and then like the food since its easy to do–you just out it in your mouth). If a hobby takes effort, and that person doesnt like it, I believe that they still wont like it because they dont have the motivation to pursue it, therefore, not perfecting/practicing/doing the hobby(especially if the hobby requires money).
I think it’s possible. I know of an example, music. You dislike a song at first, then hear it so much that it becomes catchy and stuck in your brain.
Eventually you become bored with whatever you’re doing, and willing to do something different. Another example would be sex, a person who wasn’t excited about a ********* could eventually get bored enough to want to try it anyway.
Hope that helps!
Well, I don’t think it’ll lead you to like that hobby but perhaps make you so accustomed to doing it– it’s just second nature. If you don’t tell yourself you don’t like it, eventually you’ll stop complaining about it.
Occasionally. Usually I find that learning to like something requires a mindset change. This is a real nerd’s example, but I used to **** texturing CG objects. You know, adding the textures to computer-generated models. It takes a long time and is cumbersome because you have to use an external program that usually runs slowly compared to your nice, fast 3D program. (Understandably, it’s usually a 3000 x 3000 pixel image. Blech.)
But anyway, I’ve begun to view this differently… now, I view texturing as exploration. I get to explore different colors and materials, and frankly, I love it, because I got used to it and my worldview changed.
Obviously, in some areas this doesn’t work. For instance, the hobby of sitting on a cactus never really grows into you. Well, it does, but it’s very painful and you’ll probably never enjoy it.
Some people just aren’t “born” to do some things, while they love doing others. For instance, I will always dislike large amounts of math, or at least it won’t be “my” thing. English, however, is my specialty, and I’ll always love it.
