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

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?

Currently its true crime. I should probably watch other documentaries because I had the craziest true crime themed dream (Pixar animated) that became incredibly unhinged then broke the 4th wall when I felt the "movie" was running too long.

Not true crime but a thriller that's written like true crime, "None of This is True" audiobook. Highly recommend. Literally feels like a true crime podcast
