Why do you get excited about what you like?

Post Reply New Topic

An obvious Q, but you can describe why you get excited about what you like one interest at a time.
----
Sports jerseys: While in this day and age of free agency in pro sports, it's more like a metaphor for it (the teams become incidental to the individual players), it gives me a feeling that I am on the team. The jersey itself a symbol for that team: You are embodying it. (On that note, I refuse to put names on the backs of jerseys I buy; because a friend of mine told me that I am representing the whole team and not just one player with that principle.)

Sports VGs: It's like I'm right there eon the field with the rest of the players. It feels so great.

Game show VGs: It's the next best thing to being a contestant.

Feel free to talk to me, if you wish.

Every day is a gift- cherish it!

i am excited about barack obama's campaign and the future of democracy in america.

I get excited when I see Beagles I love animals but the dog breed Beagle is the one animal I love. I also get excited when I look for a dvd my friend noticed that when I went looking for a particular dvd the other day.

I don't know why I get really excited about dogs. Whenever I go downtown, there are a ton of people walking dogs and I just want to make friends with all of the dogs, but I'm too afraid to talk to the owners. I think dogs just make really good friends and they're fun to train and play with and go hiking with. Also, society misunderstands how dogs think and communicate, which results in a lot of bullying in attempts at "training" and I can kind of relate to that. As an aspie, I'm misunderstood by people, and in the past that resulted in me getting bullied. So I can relate to them in that way.
It's convenient to know about dogs too, because a lot of people own them, but not many people understand them.
It's just nice being unconditionally loved by someone. I know my dog will love me no matter what.

But I'm basically like the dog person version of this woman:

Just replace "cat(s)" with "dog(s)" and that sums up how I feel about them xD

I like what I like, but I don't get excited over what I like.

I get excited about urban exploring for a number of reasons it is dangerous, exciting and goes against the grain. It reminds me I am truly alive. These places are, by their very nature, derelict so I can explore for hours and never have to deal with social nonsense (unless I take a friend). There is also a community so I have made one or two friends since we have something in common to talk about. I am useless at making friends so this is great.

Writing and producing music has interested me for many years. I like to be able to start off with just a silly little riff I come up with while messing around on the guitar to, 4 hours later, a complete track with drums, bass, keys, 4-5 guitar parts overlayed. Everything mixed properly and suitable effects. I find great satisfaction in being able to sit back at the end and tell myself "I created that!". It is also quite therapeutic and calls for me to focus right in the the minute detail of each audio layer which I find stimulating.

Those are my big two at the minute (other than the more-recent Aspergers research but the reasons for that should be self-explanatory)

One more for me:

Game shows: What can I say? Seeing them and playing them are exciting in itself. No more needs to be said.

Artificial Intelligence: I just think it's such a cool thing that machines could learn and interact in the environment. The thought of AI with human intelligence is even more incredible. Technology that gains the ability to view the world as us. Who knows if we'll be able to make it one day or not, but I love it and I want to help work on it.

Otters: To whoever said they love dogs, well, yep I'm the otter version of you. They are just so adorable. They even hold hands and juggle pebbles <3

I love learning about the human body, and really, any kind of body (so, animals, etc.). In fact, I just love learning! It's a lot of fun.

Don't most people get excited about what they like? Isn't that natural?

I get excited whenever I see anything new related to "Cars" or a plushie based on one of my favorite cartoon characters. You should have seen how excited I got back in the winter of 2011 when I found out that Cars 2 was coming out that summer...and when a friend of mine who's also a "Cars" fan sent me a link to to this plush series in Japan that has a plushie of "Susie" (the little blue Car in my avatar) in its lineup. Now I just have to wait for one to show up on Ebay, and when that happens, I'll be even MORE excited!
