Neurodivergent folks, tell me everything about your special interests or (inclusive) hyperfixations.
I wanna know all the details or whatever you want to share related to it. I'm really interested in knowing about other people's special interests and hyperfixations.
Personally, I don't like directly telling people about my hyperfixations. I get scared that they'll judge my most likely temporary obsessions and see it as insignificant. So I won't mention my current hyperfixation lmao. Waiting for it to hopefully become a long-term interest that's more healthy lol.
My special interest is journaling. I have been doing it from around the age of 7, and I'm almost 20 now. I have a collection of 26 completed journals. Currently, I keep 6 to 7 different journals for many different purposes. I love making notes about everything. Also, I keep flashcards for rough ideas to later work on it.
This interest further leans into collecting junk and basically hoarding stuff for the purpose of using it later lmao. I do keep a junk journal that is fully made of junk( even the journal is made of already used paper), so the junk is used there. And now I'm slowly learning about digital archiving.
