I used to be into gaming and watching TV/movies and playing floorball - all these interests are now gone.
I really don’t know why I don’t change my life and get back doing some of these.

I used to sing and play guitar and write songs all the time

Yeah, I have lost almost everything.
My new interests are very weird solitary things I would have never done years ago.

I can’t stick to a hobby it’s easy to get bored.
Watching Tv 
Eating food 
Exercise 
Now i listen to music
Eat and exercise by struggle
Have little motivation
I like watching tv just can not get myself to do it. Sit and wait and wait and wait and listen 
Watching movies and reading books. I used to do a lot of both.
No more gaming, no more watching movies, no more listening to recent music hits.
I lost interests in movies, playing sports and hanging out with friends
I can still do the same things, just not as much of it. Things like reading, writing, and just about anything that requires mental effort.

I lost interest in a lot of things, cooking, model building, mechanics, watching tv, gaming, fishing, shooting, and every other hobby I had. My anhedonia just sucks the joy out of these things making them a chore rather then enjoyable.

I used to do a lot of crafts, camping, hiking, painting, drawing, video games… I also used to listen to music a lot. I rarely listen to music by myself anymore and I don’t really do any crafts or video games anymore. I want to, it’s just so hard to… I don’t understand why, which makes it more upsetting, but I just have a hard time doing things, even things that are supposed to be fun/enjoyable.
I still paint, but only every few weeks. It takes me like 6 months to make any real progress on a painting. I love painting, but it’s so exhausting at that same time.
This topic is interesting but very upsetting.
I used to study mathematics , and read newspapers and have friends but no more.
On the other hand-
chess is an interest that surfaced with schizophrenia and miraculously I somehow manage
to do something in chess despite severe schizophrenia.
Exercise- I started a year ago already in the depth of schizophrenia, and so far I keep it up(indeed I started earlier but
still after disease onset).
Participating in this forum and in the chess24 lobby chat are recent additions of interests.
So to sum up, some old interests died but new appeared.
I try to adjust to having a severe case of schizophrenia.
That’s it.
I don’t really like to talk about myself but you asked and I answer.

I get bored of everything real fast, so no hobbies, my work is different most days so that keeps me going, along with the thought I would be homeless with out it. Work and home thats my life now

I wanted to play the violin at one point. I took lessons for a while but never got all that good. Then we moved and I didn’t bother finding a new teacher because I was going to go off to college and not have time for it anyways. My violin still sits unused in my room. I’ve forgotten what fingerings are what notes. Sad.

I was into competitive first-person shooters for 10 years (mainly Team Fortress Classic), and completely obliterated my elbows from it. That interest died in the name of preserving what arm mobility I have left, but I’d pay big money to have an eye-tracking mouse of good enough accuracy to be competitive in FPSes again. Kind of a desire to recapture my youth, it’s foolish, really.

My totally absorbing interest in songwriting is completely dead now. And has been for the past year.
Home improvement and gardening. Reading books. I can sit still with my eyes closed for hours on end. I never used to be able to do that, or want to.
I’ve lost interest in popular (vocal) music. At one time popular songs meant a lot to me.

I used to read a lot back in my high school. I don’t know at what point I lost interest in reading. I badly want to start it again though.
