Without fail, I find myself thinking that I and only I have access to the most compelling and true-to-the-text interpretation of whatever blorbo I hyperfixate on. I get a lot of mileage making fan works when I'm high on my own convictions, but it always passes and I always feel ashamed of myself after. Maybe I should seek help, but how do I explain it?

[(Anonymous)]

Normally I love and support being crazy and cringe and sincere about blorbos, but this is causing you distress!

Do you notice similar cycles of high confidence/high energy/high productivity periods followed by periods of low confidence/low self worth in the rest of your life?

[(Anonymous)]

This seems like a kind of standard fandom experience, minus the shame. I wonder where the shame is coming from? Can you pinpoint why or is it more like a general low and shame filled mood.

The cycle sounds a little like my bipolar cycles. My bipolar is more low key and mostly internal. Like I don't do the "spending lots of money and making rash decisions" thing but my brain will be on highs of excitement and hyperfixation and then I'll hit lows where the same thing that was giving me joy is a thing my brain says is something I should probably kill myself about. Now that I know the signs and the patterns I have a little more tools and control to work with those negative shame spirals but it's still rough.

I think it's a common experience to feel that the interpretation or headcanon for a character that you hold is the most compelling one, because if not why would you hold it? People aren't going around being like, 'yeah, I choose to believe the fourth most compelling version, just to be a rebel'

Where it gets weird is when you go 'no one but me, the very special, could possibly understand these undoubtedly always-before-seen concepts'

[(Anonymous)]

I think that's a pretty common fandom experience and not something to be ashamed off unless you're attacking other people for being less enlightened than you.

[(Anonymous)]

If you want to talk to someone about it because it does seem to be causing you some distress, you could say something to the effect that you get hyperfixated on characters to the point that you feel only your interpretations of them are the true ones and discount the opinions of others and though you enjoy it while it lasts, when the hyperfixation ends you realize that you had a distorted perspective and feel ashamed.

I don't know how you want to manage your hyperfixations because your productivity during them seems to make you happy, so maybe figure out what you're feeling truly ashamed of and say you want to focus on that. Are you ashamed because of the way you treated others or thought about them? Are you ashamed because you think you were really wrong about something and that's all over your writing? Are you ashamed about the target of you hyperfixation?

If you can figure out what is really making you feel bad, it's much easier to take steps to resolve it. Anyway, if you aren't hurting anyone, those steps might involve realizing that you haven't really done anything wrong and letting yourself be okay with that, which I know can be hard when your mind or something you've internalized is telling you different.

This movie is otherwise fine, it’s not great, it’s a little ridiculous but manages to be entertaining enough.

But good fucking Lord the kid character in it has to be one of the more annoying children in media I’ve seen in some time. I get that the mom wasn’t about to abandon her own kid, but I’d have fucking yeeted that child into the water after 5 minutes given that he couldn’t follow one single simple instruction.

Also everyone in this movie could hold their breaths for improbably long periods of time, it was hilarious.

The only time one of my favorite gamers on YouTube made a narrative choice that I disliked strongly enough to want to comment on, I wasn't able to. Because in the same video, she announced that she was engaged, and all the other thousands of comments she got were congratulations messages and nothing else. Not even a mention of anything about the game after giving their congratulations. So for me to break that chain and do it in order to disagree with the gaming choice she made would have made me look like a major asshole. She's happily married now, and I'm happy for her. But sometimes I still get to thinking bitterly... "Why did she have to announce it in that video?”

I just came off of three hard-core days of being sick as the sickest dog to ever sick, which fell RIGHT on my days off. *sigh*
Which was good, I guess, since if I'd have called out (like i desperately wanted to last night), I'd have lost THREE holiday pay periods (three days).
So everybody - wash your hands, wear your masks, and stay well!
