I found this episode about "fun" fascinating and it made me question if I have "fun" in this clinical definition as well. So often in my own mind I am having fun and yet found it wouldn't fit the category. I'll own my version of fun I suppose.
I don't disagree with her assertions. I think maybe what we might do alone with pleasure might be just that -- pleasurable, enjoyable, relaxing -- but not really "fun." Like people don't look at me eating alone or you quietly reading your book and think, "Wow! It looks like they're having fun! How do I get in on that?"
