Things I think of:

Did I have a hobby as a kid? Or was it my parents making me go because I was good at it but nothing else, but doing it because my brain was getting feel-good enzymes from them giving me validation for taking stupid classes?

And if it was the second factor, do I feel hyper-focused today because of the memory of getting validation or is it actually that I enjoy the activity.
