I myself have done a couple of things in my life which I thought
(and professed) I was interested in and realized only later that
this wasn't really the case.

So what? That doesn't explain your response to my statement about people
who were interested, but failed in their interest. Or are you so arrogant
as to think that just because you have had "a couple" of situations in which
you claimed to be interested, but decided you weren't, that every other
person who fails to accomplish something that they profess interest in must
then also not actually have interest?
