does it calm you?
It most certainly does, when I'm pissed of I just sit down and pick mindlessly for about half an hour and I'm calm again.
does it give you that much-needed "something" to do ?
I would be bored to hell without the lockpicking in my life, it is something that is always on my mind. Plus it is a social thing, to be able to go online and discuss shit with you guys. It have also helped me to find my call in life to be a locksmith.
does it improve your concentration?
Sort of, my concentration was not something I was having problems with before I started lockpicking but I think that it have helped me improving my concentration.
does it teach you patience?
Oh yeah! Patience is up 200% since I picked this hobby up!
does it teach you to NOT give up?
This is something that I have had to learn in order to pick particularly persistent locks, most of the time when I cant pick a lock I put it away for a day or two but I always come back to it until I get the fucker open.
does it give you self worth and value?
It is something that I can say that I have become good at in a short time and that feels really good. It is fulfilling to easily pick locks you where having giant troubles with one month earlier.
does it help you with improving your manual dexterity?
Maybe, if it has the change must have been very gradual and I just haven't noticed.
IS picking therapeutic to YOU?,and,if yes, HOW?
Lockpicking is like how I deal with stuff, as I said above, when I get angry I pick and when I'm happy I pick, when I'm bored I pick. If life feels like shit lockpicking is really good to get your mind of all that other stuff and just concentrate on the task in front of you. Its like a drug and I can't get enough.
All and all lockpicking is one of the best things to happen in my life. Ray, I don't know what I would be doing if I wouldn't have found your lockpicking videos on that fateful day but I sure as hell wouldn't be as happy with my life as I am today.
