Feeling ashamed for having hyperfixations

I’ve found that it really depends on who you are talking to. I’ve luckily cultivated a friend group that’s all neurodivergent so we just jump between our hyperfixations and it’s really fun. I had to learn kinda who I could talk to like this and who would be weirded out by it. This helps me because my rsd is really bad so if I can avoid getting rejected I do. Overall I think you just need to find your people. If your friends are judging you then they are not the correct friend

My partner we are 99% sure has adhd as well. He hyperfixates on games and comics a lot. I don't like games all that much (at least the ones he likes) and I do like comics a little but not to the very far depths that he does lol. But I would sit and listen to him forever. Or at least as long as my adhd brain would tolerate. But I love hearing about all the things (: he used to tell me about them until I fell asleep at night. There are wonderful people out there that love to hear about special interests. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty for being happy.
