hyperfixation (adhd) 

I often feel like the wiring in my brain that handles intense crushes on people and the wiring in my brain that handle hyperfixations are the same

literally when I’m hyperfixating on something, it’s basically like I have a strong crush on it. I spend all my time thinking about it, everything reminds me of it, etc

@variance I'm pretty darn aro so I can't go "same" here, but nontheless that makes a lotta sense as an analogy, and jeez relatable on the hyperfixation

re: hyperfixation (adhd) 

@pastelbat my problem is I have a hard time distinguishing me having crushes on people vs me hyperfixating on people ghhh

but oh well, I manage
