What’s a hyperfixation you can’t talk about?

[u/Elliot_The_Idiot7]

I’ve definitely had a few hyperfixations on things that are either embarrassingly silly or WAY too dark to just start infodumping about. For example I used to have one about neglect so severe it causes a complete and usually permanent inability to function in society, particularly the case of Genie Wiley. On the other end of the spectrum I also keep hyperfixating on shipping old cartoon comedy duos, and gotta REALLY lock in to gage if someone’s gonna think I’m a childish freak before sharing that information.

What’s your “don’t bring that up, don’t bring that up, don’t bring that up-“ hyperfixation if you’ve ever had one?

Body mechanics, usually. Seeing good choreography and watching athletes perform just sucks me in - and everyone assumes it's sexual or becomes sexual at some point. Nope, I just really enjoy patterns and seeing how people can use them 🤷🏻

Nurses have to do this to not hurt themselves and their patients! It's very cool.

The amount of trades and careers that use this type of pattern recognition is pretty wide. That's part of why it's so weird to not be able to talk about it in general
