Yeah ,pretty much a lot , especially long animes. It's the same thing when a guitarist is trying to learn a long song , when suddenly he drops it unintentionally and go learn another one, that's shorter. Happens a lot.

I don't dedicate myself to finishing an Anime, mainly because I only watch a series when I feel like it and I tend to get bored mid-way through the series.

I don't. I usually watch two anime at a time.

I don't know why, but it's happening to me now :c

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

Only when what I'm watching isn't very compelling or I'm feeling fatigued from it. Doesn't happen very often.
Somewhere, there is an unplugged toaster sitting on a Coleman stove.

Does it feel lonely?

All the time - have way too many shows in the 'watching' list. Even when the anime I'm watching isn't boring or non-compelling I can switch to something which is arguably not as good - just like to mix it up or mood dependent. Or I'm fickle - whichever.

My on-hold list has shows a few titles I've kept on-hold for almost a year or so now, usually shows I got bored by and forgot because I found something else to watch.

I used to, but then I'd end up dropping so many anime that way so I started watching multiple anime at the same time. Now I find myself finishing a lot more anime because I'm not forcing myself to stick to one thing.

All the time. The latest is when I was intent on watching Durarara! and Bounen no Xam'dou without rest in one go, but I got distracted by Beelzebub (for Durarara!) and K, Robotics;Note and Shinsekai Yori (for Xam'd).

Nope.

I watch what I want, when I want.

The order don't matter.

Nope. I only focused to one. I usually save the other one if I haven't done yet watching the first one.
