‘Mildly Interesting’: 50 Pics Of Random Things To Pique Your Interest Very Slightly (New Pics)

But you can’t really ignore wants and desires, right? Sure, there is the idea that putting yourself through some suffering builds character. But if it’s taken to an extreme, it can be destructive, causing distress, anxiety, and it won’t solve the problem. Instead, it has to be a balancing act, and allowing yourself to have interests and hobbies, even to a mild degree, will have a positive impact on you, i.e. less stress and a better mood.

And this now circles around to self-interest again. Whether something is a mild interest or a deep one, it’s still good to have these positive experiences about things that you genuinely like. Being interested in things is not only good for us mentally, but it is a certain kind of reward—like picking up a phone, just for a little bit, after grinding through an hour or two of work.

So, given all of this, how much is mildly in mildly interesting? Well, by the looks of things, it's a point between being motivated enough to stop scrolling to see what's up, but not enough to stop us from scrolling on and likely forgetting about it.

So, yeah… food for thought! Thank you, that was my TedTalk.
