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?
If you feel as though you’d like a special interest, or even a specialised interest, start exploring!
I've picked up films and reading lately,which im enjoying so far.
