There is nothing "wrong" with having a "special interest".
There is nothing wrong with "focusing" on a "special interest".
If Alexander Graham Bell or Thomas Edison or the inventor of the steam locomotive were told that having a "special interest" was bad and they should not "have their head in the clouds" (llike my Aunt thought of me) then where would we be now?
There'd be NO cell phones, no radio, no television, no microwave communications or fibre optics. No CDs or DVDs or Laserdiscs or 46 RPM records.
NTs are just jealous of us "dreamers" "inventors" "creative people".
Don't let their words or "projections" hurt you.
