Yeah, I understand that. I haven't found an easy solution to that.
With hobbies, the thing I've found most useful is to set a structure of making that time for myself to do the thing I enjoy. Even if it's just an hour or two, one evening a week. That way I've mentally created the space where I can say "that time is for me, to do my hobby". Sticking with it, even if I think "I'd rather be with my favourite person at this time" helps add some balance (plus it's a defence against that feeling of neglecting myself when I'm hyperfocused on someone else).
That's a good idea, unfortunately I have trouble sticking to times unless I'm letting someone else down
Well I don't know if it helps, but the way I think of that is that if I didn't stick to the times, I'd be letting me down.
