Hobby?

Recently I've been thinking about getting a real hobby. I've dabbled with many things, most of the time not going anywhere. Fanfiction writing? Have been there, have done that. Photography? The same. But it never goes beyond the first approach. I lack the capacity of staying with and pursuing something. Of putting work into something that I do enjoy. I usually quit when it gets even slightly difficult, even if I do enjoy it. Maybe what I need is not a new hobby, but just a change in my approach of many of my past-times. I do not do anything else than Japanese and reading, do I? The point is I usually quit feeling that I am not creative enough.
When it comes to games or TV series (or films, too) - usually my attention span is just too short to make it a passion.
I'd really like to get a level in something that is high enough for me to enjoy doing it and to enjoy the result. So the question is - why can't I focus? Is there no dedication?
Here, have meme:

Take Up A Serious Hobby

You're an intellectual and you know how you use your mind, so you'd rather not take breaks from it. You can always think out a situation and know what needs to be done. The only thing that frustrates you is not being valued.

Our Potentially Ridiculous Hobby Suggestion For You:
Origami
You can make cool origami stuff with plain paper, wrapping paper, magazine paper, you name it. It's a good skill to learn.

In my opinion you can't force it to find a real hobby. It comes to you, just like the realisation about a job or something. I tried desparately trying to find something I really like. About 10 years I tried this and that.. and in the end..the only real hobby I found and love and adore is knitting ^^° And that I only discovered as a side effect :D

Doch klar, für mich ist ein hobby etwas, bei dem es egal ist, wie das endresultat aussieht (also zb wenn es beim klavierspielen auf das klavierspielen ankommt und nicht darauf, was für tolle stücke man später spielen kann). das hatte ich noch NIE. ich wollte alles immer sofort perfekt können und hab den weg dahin gehasst.

na und beim stricken kam das so ganz natürlich... :) Da is mir auch egal, wenn ich ma alles wieder aufribbeln muss, weil ich nen fehler gemacht hab.

nja, hab alles ruiniert, weiß nicht, wies mir geht. Beschissen, jo. Aber ich muss mich iwie zusammenreißen, sitz in der uni wegen hausarbeit

Ja, klar will ich das endprodukt haben, aber das gibt mir nicht mal 1/3 der befriedigung, die ich beim strickvorgang selbst verspüre, irgendwie sowas mit innerer ruhe herstellen und so ;) Für den einen ist es meditieren, für den andern stricken...

Du kennst die geschichte? aber woher denn?
