It’s weird to think thatinterestcan be put on a scale. Like, a continuum ranging from interesting to the minimal,tiny iotadegree to the maximum, universal level of approval.It’s even weirder that we havea dedicated online communitythat focuses on a very particular part of this continuum—themildinterest.But you already know that.

It’s a bit hard to explain whatmildlymeans in the context of interest. You’d think you’re either interested in something or you’re not. Sure, you can be on the fence about it, or you can be in a situation where you want to like something. And that makes loads of sense.

But you can’t really ignore wants and desires, right? Sure, there is the idea that puttingyourself 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 amilddegree, 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.
