never should have let the Internet replace the words "obsession" "hobby" and "interest" with "hyperfixation" tbh
#first time hearing a word as a twelve year old that describes how i am no longer a free agent when i become interested in something: yippee!#120th time hearing people using this word to describe their binge watching of a TV show: fucked we are#worse is when people who talk about their ‘hyperfixations’ judge you for actually hyperfixating on something#it’s like the intrusive thoughts thing… it’s only trendy when it’s neurotypical
