I think i have an issue
The story
I did post a story on this before, but it’s not showing up (gulp), so i’m doing it again. I’m not sure if this is the place where i’m supposed to post about this stuff but i have this issue. I like this tv show. A LOT. It’s been months (probably an understatement), where i can only really think about it. My mind turns everything into a reference, i’m always quoting it and i’m just constantly thinking about it. I’ve even caught myself embarrassing myself in class because the teacher called on me to answer a question which i didn’t know the answer to because i was thinking about that show.
Is this a normal thing or am i going crazy? My friends joke and say it’s like a hyper fixation, but i thought only neurodivergent people get those and im not diagnosed with anything. (At least i think it’s just neurodivergent people, im not sure. I haven’t really done much research so sorry if i sound stupid). I just need to know if other people have been through this and i’m not a weirdo for constantly thinking about it.

Hey there! It's totally relatable to get engrossed in a TV show; happens to the best of us! I've been there myself when a storyline captivates my imagination. You're definitely not going crazy, so don't worry. It might feel overwhelming, but maybe try setting boundaries for how much time you spend engaging with it. That way, it won't interfere with your day-to-day obligations. Hyperfixation isn't exclusive to neurodivergent individuals, in my humble opinion. Honestly, I think many people experience it to varying degrees. It's probably more common than you'd think. 🌟
Hey, I totally get where you're coming from! I've been obsessed with a show before too, and it's like it infiltrates your every thought! You're definitely not alone, it happens to a lot of people. It can seem a bit disconcerting; maybe try focusing on some other activities to balance it out. Not only neurodivergent folks experience this — I'm pretty convinced it's more widespread. I often quote my favorite series too, even if my friends give me funny looks! 😊
Hey! I get it, being hooked on a TV show is super common!! It's like that catchphrase, "Can't stop, won't stop"! You're definitely not going crazy, it's just your brain really digging the content; It happens to a lot of folks. Hyperfixations can hit anyone, not just neurodivergent ones. Maybe mix things up a bit with other activities? You've totally got this!! 😊
i hear you, but i think it's not really a big deal!!! everyone gets a bit obsessed with stuff they love, you know? it's kind of like when people go through a phase of "binge-watching" shows. maybe it's worth considering how much time you're giving to this interest; we all need some balance in our lives. personally, i've been totally into a series where I couldn't stop quoting it either, yet it eventually faded. it's just a part of being passionate!! perhaps take small steps to focus on other things.
hey, I get that you're super into this show, but I wouldn't worry too much about it! everyone goes through phases where they’re obsessed with something, like when people talk about "binge-watching" shows nonstop. it’s not just you, trust me! maybe it's about finding a good balance and making sure it doesn’t take over everything else; sometimes just setting limits on how much time you spend on it can help. when i was into a series, i felt like i couldn't think about anything else either 😂 but eventually, it cooled down. just ride it out and see where it goes! 😊
