Identity through hobbies and dress

Not sure if this is an ASD thing, but sometimes I find someone and I really want to be just like them.  I want to start (or restart) hobbies that they do and dress like they do.

I find the dressing is especially important because I think I will look like the type of person who does X and so is really interesting.

Not sure where I’m really going with this post Joy

Any thoughts??
