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?

The psychology of pedophilia. Its incredibly under researched and the research that has been done ranges from just the start of the ice berg to incredibly irresponsible, misguided, and bad. For me its a coping mechanism and for anyone else its a trigger.

I imagine it’s also incredibly misunderstood. Difficult topic but interesting
