Is it possible to be bearable while also being hyperfixated on something? Genuine question????...
Okay so I am big time hyperfixated on my OC's, and I have been for a very long time! Well, maybe not a LONG time. A bit over a year now. I'm in the trenches right now, though. I can only draw them, they're all I want to talk about, and when I get bored of a conversation I zone out to think of them. It's so bad. I am in hell, but also I literally love my OC's so I don't even care. Lowkey this is my ideal life. OC city!
The problem is that I also have friends, and they don't want to always hear about and see my OCs. It's like listening to a broken record, I assume. I don't think they are like, going to kill me or leave me about it, but I feel really bad because I can always see the vibe shift when I bring them up for the 80th time in the conversation. I am wondering if it is possible to be normalish! Or I guess how to manage this. Because I cannot keep pulling this. Any advice would be great. I know I can't control my autistic traits, but I'd like to control my behavior enough to not be a nuisance if that makes sense! Thanks for your time!
