Have you ever successfully caused yourself to love something that you didn't naturally love? How did you do that? I'm especially interested in cases where you made a conscious decision that you were going to learn to love the thing, and then succeeded via strategy.

My not-quite-the-answer is that I think I've encouraged myself in loving things. There's a feeling of getting obsessed with something that I occasionally notice myself having. I can try to cultivate that intentionally. The most notable example where this felt like a real successful guidance was in getting really into Rust.
