embarassed about obsessions

Post Reply New Topic

I love talking about my obsessions. All my friends are totally into it, too, and I can get pretty much anyone I know in rl hooked instantly. It's always been that way for me.

Hmmm, just curius, but, can you name some of the stuff your obsessed with for me?

I used to try to pretend I didn't invest as much time as I did in things (i.e. my toys and things, watching the same movie hundreds of times) around other people. I'm not sure if it's emberassment or I don't want to share, or maybe someone bugged me about it and I didn't want to be weird, (emberassment, then) but along the way I learned to keep things in perspective and discovered it was a characteristic of a categoric classification I fit into. So now I think nothing of being a bit different in this regard. i.e. Doing and undoing 3D puzzles over and over to the point of autonomic memorization for the hell of it, going the better part of a year to hwa rang do without missing a single class.

People just think I've got too much time on my hands, and I play into that, so maybe I'm still hiding a little bit.

"Happy Tree Friends" is my biggest obsession. I'm extremely well-known in the HTF community (as we call it) and I've helped promote the show and stuff for Mondo Media, the company who creates it. They've actually sent me over $100 worth of stuff and storyboards as a thank you to me.

I'm also really into pageants, houses, and all kinds of random things. But like I said, I'm mostly really into HTF. I've been watching it for over a year now. I also make a lot of YouTube videos for it, too. One in particular gained over 100,000 views in eight months!

Ahh..soo I guess that would explain your avatar? (btw, I think your avee is cute )

Anywhoo...I think I may have heard of them before. I could never really get into them, though...but i'll addmit that they were kinda cute (in fact, the drawing styal might even kinda remind me of the styal of Parappa the Rapper...a little bit anyways. lol).

Lightning88, that's terrific!

I like to hear about obsessions even if they're not the same ones as mine. I find the intensity attractive and interesting, I think, because most people don't seem to get 'into' things the same way - only skim over the surface of an interest.

Sometimes I'm embarrassed about my obsessions, like a few years ago when I was obsessed with Pokemon. More often, it's just that it's such a specific area of interest that there aren't many occasions where you can just start talking about it for no reason.

I can be ashamed not only about my obsessions but about the power they hold over me. I learned so early on to hide my obsessiveness that most of the time it never even occurs to talk about them. Once the obsessive interest button gets pressed, I automatically retreat on that subject, like an involuntary reaction.

I remember she did before when I first joined but I think people got sick of it here because I can remember her posting threads saying "Its been (insert number here) days since I have talked about routemasters."

There was another member here who talked about straps and some members here had a problem with it so yeah, aspies can get sick and tired of hearing someone talk about the same thing over and over just like anyone else.
