You don't know what you enjoy anymore

Someone asks what you do for fun and you go blank. Between work and errands and responsibilities, the things you used to like fell away, and you never picked up new ones. Your free time gets spent recovering, not enjoying. You're not unhappy exactly — just a little flat, like the part of you that had interests quietly logged off.

What’s really going on

Losing track of what you enjoy usually isn't depression — it's disuse. Fun is a muscle, and years of it being the first thing cut for work and obligations leaves it weak and quiet. You don't rediscover it by thinking hard about what you like; you find it by trying things and noticing what lights up, even faintly. The trap is waiting to feel a big spark before you start — the spark comes from doing, not before it. Let's go looking, cheaply and with no pressure to love anything.
