does anyone else feel weirdly possessive over their special interests? in theory i would love it if someone else liked the same things but everytime someone does, i get this really annoying feeling of "no, that's mine!" i know it sounds childish, i really can't help it.

      Yeah unfortunately. A friend got really into my special interest and it bothered me so much that my interest for it just went away. I never told them about it but I still feel guilty for being so possessive lol

      Yep. On one hand, it's nice to have someone to talk to about my interests. But on the other hand, it makes it feel less unique and special, especially if the person is better or more knowledgeable in that area than I am

      I get that with my phone because I would become depressed if I couldn't listen to music anymore.

      When I crashed/totaled my car and lost a pair of sunglasses I really liked, it was like someone had died. I get attached to stuff because of the inherent comfort in it. Hobbies are the same...
