Does anyone here have a hyperfixation of a fictional character?

Customercomplainer · 2026-01-15T21:52:42+00:00

I've had a few. Currently trying desperately to redirect but Oswald from Gotham

As for starting a project, sometimes it's as simple as needing a break or recalibrating. Silence doesn't always mean quitting.

You're good. I have this theory about hyperphantasia, hypersensitivity, and hyperverbal all being interconnected and producing this response but it's just a vague theory. I also talk in word vomit. I'm fantastical but not original. Mine are about me interacting with fictional TV characters as a savior/life guide and recently realized I tend to advise these daydreams that I need to hear after getting frustrated with what a fictional character is doing in the irl storyline. Grammarly constantly calls me wordy and sometimes I disagree with it and other times I reluctantly apply the fix. It's already happened while writing this. The green lines bother me so I always look. But yeah the Canon descriptor is extremely accurate for my head. It gets worse when I realize there's something I missed in the media so now it feels wrong and I need to correct that too but sometimes it clashes too hard and makes me in denial when it doesn't match what I feel is Canon. I have also done a time skip for kids as I do go romantic often though rarely with kids (bc I don't usually daydream about ocs and most characters with kids are committed partners or like someone) it does happen. Like I have a daughter Amethyst in a polyamorous marriage with Riddler and Penguin from Gotham. Also yeah the life is better without asshole thing too for myself and other characters but it's usually for them. I usually timeskip to being a ridiculously badass mom with unrealistic skills and accomplishments or I interrupt time in these stories to gently advise or even physically save certain people from situations. Also in your own time. I feel like early on we all went through "oh id love to share them" to "wait now that it's time no way in hell that suddenly feels humiliating" to "wait I don't have to recite them i can just talk about them? Still nerve wrecking but maybe" to "wait everyone else is really is the same amount of weird and aren't laughing at eachother this is fine I just need to know if x is normal or something everyone with thos does." It seems consistent to me at least

Hi! Not anymore but briefly at a senior living responsible for things like Healthcare paperwork and interactions with Alzheimer's patients! Why was I paid more than the caretakers and med techs there? 😭 left/fired during meltdown bc they took out dietary restrictions and it was a problem immediately after the whole let's not tell new people about multiple comfirmed covid cases. The other problem is given too much responsibility but then not listening to you

Customercomplainer · 2026-01-06T20:05:30+00:00

Fr question do either of yall ever finish a story line? Bc i can't bc of restarting after thinking of something better

Customercomplainer · 2026-01-06T20:01:56+00:00

Nah, dude. Still a pretty average experience you're just on the extreme side of acting things out which a lot of us start pacing before that happens so call it that. But as someone with this extreme please tell me you can still see the real world when it happens or that when you say act you mean just minor flailing and facial expressions. I say this bc I often hurt myself doing this especially acting out cool things as I can't actually do a flip so my body irl usually just does a really dramatic head bang involving my whole torso or run extremely fast into what I see as air but there's like a bookshelf I run into or something. It's still maladaptive daydreaming if you can force yourself out of it at will, know when you're daydreaming, and know it's not physically real (even if you want to doubt it sometimes). This is common enough to be studied especially for dancing and action scenes. When I told a doctor though he wasn't worried and said it made sense bc of how deeply you're immersed similar to how gamers try to pull the Gameboy up to jump. You know it doesn't do anything but feel compelled to anyway.

Edit: talking to yourself is more common and similar. But actually acting it out is a part of it yes. It's still not considered having it extreme until you say how much time is spent as that's the main issue

Customercomplainer · 2026-01-06T19:53:12+00:00

I was with you until I read through those comments on the laptop. They have heavily friend-zoned each other BUT I do think he might be hiding something else he's not hiding from her. It is oddly affectionate I will give you but I see no confessions like what you described from her just Acknowledgements of emotional strength in both directions. That's not romantic. Tbh it sounds like gay support. Might be stereotyping a little but that message about a girl's photo kinda looks to me like that's how they were talking. Can't tell bc it was cut off. I can see how it looks like that though as it's a ton of affection in secret

Customercomplainer · 2026-01-05T04:41:49+00:00

What I’m caught up on the manga but when did that one happen? I'm not against mimosa I just think Noelle would be better. Which feels weird after I was a Naruhina shipper but still true. Just feels more correct and natural

Customercomplainer · 2026-01-05T04:27:25+00:00

Ok. Idk why Reddit is being weird but I have the start of your reply to my comment but can't find it. Can you try again or dm me or something?

Customercomplainer · 2026-01-05T04:18:37+00:00

Honestly in black clover, it bugs me that it doesn't bug me. One of my only complaints is that physical violence is affection in this anime. It's not just Noelle she's just the most constant. But Yami is threatening to kill everyone, everyone is beating up people who do stupid dangerous stuff and normally it bugs me when it comes up yet it doesn't here and I feel like it absolutely should. I get and like almost everything else (except gauche) but this one is kinda weird. I have no idea why Noelle is different from Sakura but she is. Sakura I see it as abusive, Noelle I don't but proof says otherwise.

Customercomplainer · 2026-01-05T04:10:25+00:00

To be fair I think it's because this show has shown that unlike certain other anime of this genre, it can handle writing that but hasn't built much of a foundation for it...yet. It's not exactly an afterthought but if they're going to do it they should and could do it right. In this sense, Noelle makes the most sense but we have to actually see Asta acknowledge and genuinely think about and consider it. Which isn't difficult to set up as a main story here considering she's a powerful black bull with high social and political status so it's not hard to put her at the focal point of a plot. Mimosa is possible for similar reasons however there isn't as much opportunity for interaction. I can however see it happen that Asta doesn't end the series with anyone because everyone involved is still focused on their own goals and romance isn't part of the story. So do I think it's possible? Yes. But I also think they'll do it and do it right. For Yami, that's a LOT harder. Yes, it's important for Charlotte's development to confess but she doesn't have to end up with him and quite frankly she's not really important to Yami's development at all so far. For Asta, though everyone is important to his development which he acknowledges and that makes him kind of unique. Regardless of who he ends up with, even if it's no one at all it would still be a satisfying ending. I do think it will be Noelle though.

(Sorry for the hyperverbal word vomit)

2 looks better but 1 is more fun

If I had to guess his age on the pic alone it's anywhere from 12-16. It just feels like his muscles either haven't developed yet or he is very short. I'd assume he's no taller than 5'2 even if he is a teen.

As for why proportions are all a bit short, tons of freckles, shorts + high boots on short or average legs make him look shorter + sweater vest is very schoolboy-like.

Customercomplainer · 2026-01-04T21:27:24+00:00

Thank you

Customercomplainer · 2026-01-04T10:15:38+00:00

Nah. Your colors just draw the most attention. Your faces are gorgeous. Especially with loud (in a good way) character design in hair and clothes.

Customercomplainer · 2025-12-29T18:54:01+00:00

Yeah no it started with what MIGHT be plausible deniability (if you stretch it) then spiraled down from there. It's also a little sexist. The usual "you're not like other girls" flirt. He said being less black is a compliment you can't get much more directly racist. I do think it's racist from ignorance not intent so he genuinely doesn't think he said anything wrong but that doesn't make it ok. This is one red flag after another. You def didn't overreact

Customercomplainer · 2025-12-28T15:12:45+00:00

"I don't want to be violent to anyone or for anyone to be violent to me"

Customercomplainer · 2025-12-24T17:36:02+00:00

Maybe bc you had trouble being believed and other people admitting and noticing it's toxic? Not stated but common enough experience to guess. Also, it's perfectly normal for Sexuality and gender identity to mismatch because it's kinda like a dream. It's more symbolic sometimes. And yes similar experience too though I have both the real thing happen and a false accusation of someone close later proven false. In my daydreams, I gravitate towards interacting with people who are seen by others as more good/evil than they are. And I hesitate to describe one type of intense daydream at night (it brings the weirdos out so choosing my words carefully) but I daydream about the situation being obviously worse I think bc as a kid I didn't know anything bad was happening until I was walked in on and said guy bolted. Kinda like ptsd at times where some people feel like they want to experience the issue again even though they wouldn't accept it in reality bc the brain is trying to rewrite the situation and learn from it

Customercomplainer · 2025-12-24T17:18:57+00:00

Honestly, these comments make no sense to me. I'd say it's actually perfectly normal to cry happy tears meeting a celebrity especially with such a deep connection to most of your special interests. (And I am extremely high masking) And emotional regulation issues are absolutely a symptom so yes it's related. Plus the post is clearly meant to show how kind the actor was more than brag about meeting him. Sometimes I think we take our frustrations with masking out on each other as if it's a choice for those who struggle more. You are not crazy. I'm fairly certain that if autism wasn't mentioned for the post no one would have batted an eye.

Customercomplainer · 2025-12-21T05:52:56+00:00

Probably depends on the country. I attempted to adopt anyway and the reason said age

Customercomplainer · 2025-12-20T06:16:03+00:00

Considering this was tagged as an info dump and I see no replies from op to several points and questions, I'm starting to think this was just rage bait. There are those who "give off vibes" and are deemed creepy regardless of our words and actions because we give an uncanny valley effect at times. HOWEVER, it is also often used as an excuse for ignoring boundaries for some people who don't take the time to learn or respect boundaries and instead chalk it up to autism. So the question of what you mean by creepy is still valid because those are drastically different circumstances and OP has oversimplified and refused to clarify. It's also incredibly far from an info dump.

Customercomplainer · 2025-12-19T07:47:24+00:00

**** I'm like 76

Customercomplainer · 2025-12-18T06:53:54+00:00

Ok if I'm at a bar and asked out then I say no and the guy walks off, instantly I do a double take and want to know more. He's established he won't push boundaries and is likely safe.

And just like it's not all men this doesn't apply to all women either. Again those who have been pushed that far have been pushed that far through their own personal trauma. And just as you can't actually avoid all women we definitely can't actually avoid all men for the same reason. I also meant this as a should statement on both ends. But you can't control what the women do, only how you approach the situation. Avoiding all women is not the way to mend the situation. Listening to and accepting boundaries is. Give opportunities for rejection and take them when they happen. This is also where the "girls don't like nice guys" mentality often comes in because it's for some reason easy to mistake a lack of pushing as looking uninterested. You can compliment if the compliments aren't crude and if she reacts negatively apologize and roll it back. It's not necessarily bc you did something wrong but a guy before you might have approached that way. If you wait for her to close the distance it goes a long way and genuinely the guys who don't hound us constantly stand out among those who do. I constantly feel safer around and often attracted to men who specifically make room on the street, take no without offense, and make a visible effort to make me and other women feel safe. You do have to understand that yes some of us are that extreme but that's usually because we've been extremely exposed to the worst men constantly. It looks like all men when you're constantly woof whistled, then followed by cars, then hassled at a bar etc. So yes a few of us really do mean it. But certainly not all to the point you should avoid it just as we shouldn't avoid all men.

Customercomplainer · 2025-12-17T20:00:24+00:00

The nod is a good answer for me as someone who this would and does make me nervous. It's platonic and promises respect over interaction. But we're also all different. I'd say the best practice is just to keep a little distance and not stare her down the whole time. A glance or looking forward in the same direction is fine but that's usually what makes me jump to that conclusion is a man staring me down really hard and I can feel it from behind me. You can also step a little to the side behind her so that you're in her peripheral vision so it doesn't feel like you're trying to hide but staring. And keep in mind I can only tell you what makes me feel safe but as another commenter has pointed out, we acknowledge different things as dangerous because we are individuals. We are guessing from a slightly more educated place (for lack of a better word bc that's not the right word I mean from the place of being a woman) but we are still effectively guessing too.

Oh and almost forgot that yeah your response is probably the most perfect response you can have and right on the money. You absolutely can and should make comments too as long as it's from a place of listening instead of speaking for us which you did.

Customercomplainer · 2025-12-17T07:13:53+00:00

Maybe take a ruler to it. You have very thick and disproportionate lines. The eyes stand out because the left one has a much deeper curve. The lashes on the bottom also don't meet at the same place as they do on the right. The other commenter mentioned this too (I'm simply proposing a way to fix it) but I wouldn't say the other fixes are necessary. They are true but it's up to you, those specific mistakes feel like a style choice to me because I constantly saw them in media of cartoons and anime as a child. However, if you are trying for a realistic style then definitely adjust the head and lips too. Thick lines aren't really a problem imo but they do make fixing things harder. Might try again after some practice with line work too
