Would you try something new, in spite of having absolutely no interest in it, whatsoever? Can you learn to enjoy something new that you originally had no interest in?

Absolutely, I have learned that many things I had formed negative opinions about were interesting, stimulating, and just plain fun. I would have missed out on many wonderful opportunities if I never tried them. Attitude is the key.

Yes I don't mind trying new things even if I had no previous interest in it. I tried clay sculpture and was surprisingly good at it despite not enjoying the messy part of doing it. It really changed my perspective on new things.
Good question ;)

I think it would be pretty hard to start something if I didn't have an interest, such as exercise. But if it were in the realm of things that might interest me—something intellectual, for example—I would be open to it.

Yes. There are lots of things out there that I'm surprised I like (knitting and swimming come to mind). There are a lot of things I'm surprised I don't like (go cart racing comes to mind). The world is filled with all sorts of things and the only way you'll know whether you truly like or dislike something is to try it! Now get off your butt and go to the museum! ;)

Yes, you can only broaden your horizons. You so not have to like everything but you never know if you don't try...
