I haven't really engaged in any interests for years now because I was too preoccupied with other things and didn't feel the need to, but I can recall a couple of things I might have obsessed over in the past.
When I was younger I was pretty obsessed with Pokémon, I spent years grinding it on my gameboy as a child and then a bit later on as a preteen I grinded it on my computer too for a decent period.
I loved Harry Potter when I was younger, and now at 18 years old I've started reading it again and I want to start obsessing over it
I've also been into drawing when I was younger which later turned into a graphic design obsession for a couple of years.
When I say I was obsessed I dont mean I knew everything about it or anything like that , I just loved it thats it.
I still feel connected to most of these things and want to reintroduce them into my life.
I now feel like I must have some interests to obsess over, it makes me feel like I have more value. Could just be due to my low self esteem tho.
Im wondering if that classifies as special interests?
I've picked up films and reading lately,which im enjoying so far.
If you feel as though you’d like a special interest, or even a specialised interest, start exploring!
