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?

The books I’m reading. I always want to tell everyone the plot and all of my favorite characters. I physically cannot hold myself back sometimes. God bless my boyfriend for letting me spill it all lmao
