What are your special interests?

Aspeth

I really love learning about other peoples hyperfixations/special interests and - although I struggle to show it - get so happy and excited when someone shares theirs with me. It's probably one of the only things I like more than my own special interest tbh... I love it even more when someone feels comfortable enough to not only tell me what theirs is, but also tell me every detail about it. Even if I have no idea what any of it means, I still love listening.

I'm rambling so I'll just get to the point; I'm curious about everyone here. I had a *** night and this is the first thing that came to mind to make me feel better so I'd love it if someone would be willing to indulge...

  • Naruto Shippuden (Anime) - Can't explain it, never felt this level of joy when watching something.

    Gundam model kits - I find being hyper focused on constructing these model kits quiets my mind.

    Pokemon - Games, cards and anime.

    Dinosaurs (Since a baby XD )

    Films

    My Cat Smiley - We adopted her in 2020 and she's given me a better quality of life.

    I used to feel ashamed of my interests pre diagnoses, as i felt like what brought me joy would be childish to others (Yes, someone in work found out I was listening to a dinosaur podcast and took the p%$** out of me). But now I embrace it.
