Special Interests - they’re just interests

Geeky Gothic Guy

Probably gonna annoy a few people with this but I’m just irritated with reading the term “special” interests. They’re just interests. Why is there the need to have the word special? Not once have I ever referred to my interests as “special” They’re just my interests. By referring to interests as special, just seems like there’s this need to feel, well, special.

  • I don't really have special interests either, I have a lot of things I'm interested in and some long term interests, like cooking and history, but they're not all consumming like some peoples seem to be.

    I wonder if the term "special interests" was coined by NT to describe why people are fascinated with things that they are not?
