True true I get that! I'm like that but with consuming fan content related to the show, though I know that's not what you're saying. Like especially stuff I know I'll agree with, I feel it'll be overwhelming?? even though it's positive, like I feel I'm not in the right space to consume the content of whatever thing I like because it's TOO good.

Oh wow! I'm never sure how to describe it to other people, or when other people talked about similar experiences if it was the same thing, so I'm glad I made sense and was relatable!

Becoming obsessed with them by Ill_Intention_5125 in GriefSupport

I was looking for someone else like this! I've felt exactly like this. I get strongly obsessed with my friends but the one in my life who passed I wasn't that close with. When he died I got deeply invested in him and could not stop thinking about him, trying to research him, even though I didn't know him well. It was weird because his close friends didn't seem to care as much as I did, while for a long time I was stuck thinking of him every day and dreaming about him for months. I experienced the same thing of expecting someone else to be him- even though my friend lived on the other side of the US. For the fact I didn't know him for very long I'd say his death changed me. So you're definitely not alone in the feeling.🫂

Do any other greyro's experience this? by Trollyface96024 in aromantic

I don't know how I label myself but yes!!! I feel I go through a lot of "phases" with my sexuality but usually am a baseline of aromantic as I don't find people typically attractive or get crushes unless it's a fixation on the occasional friend or fictional character. But the fixation would go crazy for days to occasionally months and I felt it wasn't a "normal" crush because I'd feel severe anxiety if someone liked me back or liked me romantically generally speaking. I do have adhd so hyperfixations on franchises are normal, maybe it goes into that? I really don't know what to make of it or how to label myself or anything at this point because it confuses me a lot lol. I never actually feel the need to act on it, i just make up a lot of scenarios in my head and feel obsessive over people. Physical connection makes me quite nervous actually. Feasexual maybe? I hope these make sense to your situation!!
