So, what ARE the most common special interests?

Post Reply New Topic

Mine is music and TV shows from the 60s.

I picked other.

When I was a kid, my special interests were:
-Doctor Who (still there but nowhere near as dominant as 20 years ago)
-shopping malls
-phone books
-Star Wars
-80s pop music.

Nowadays, my special interests are :

-music (especially metal bands, live music and collecting vinyl)
-movies
-literature (fiction and non-fiction)
-politics (left-wing perspectives, green issues and especially election results)
-history (particularly modern history)
-tennis
-art (especially surrealism and pop art).
-animals (especially tigers and other felines)

I think I have a better mix of interests these days or at least I like to think so. I'm thinking of exploring some other ones that I'm curious about such as economics and sociology to see where that takes me.

I do like cats and other animals certainly not just limited to mammals, I like reptiles would actually like to get a reptile pet someday but gotta wait till I can get a proper set up and take care of one also birds of prey are just awesome but of course I find fish, arachnids, insects and other kinds of bugs interesting to...I don't really like a lot of bugs on me but they can be fun to watch.

I also am way into music, mostly metal particularly black metal, folk metal and doom metal but I bands of all the subgenres. I listen to other kinds to...I like some electronic music, psychedelic rock/neo-psychdelia/trippy kind of music, some punk but mostly post punk, psychobilly(and related styles), and goth punk.

I also find plants, herbs and their uses and what not to be a topic of interest as well.

I also like fiction specifically sci-fi and fantasy, some horror can be ok but I find that gets too repetitive and its the same stupid story lines over and over a lot of times especially movies.

I am interested in nature and the environment and how people can minimize their negative impacts on it, so recycling, renewable energy and that sort of thing are interesting to me. I wouldn't say I'm like a full blown environmentalist but it is something important to me.

Cornwall is very pretty, and has probably the nicest climate in the UK outside some place like Jersey or Guernsey.

One of my special interests happens to be the weather.

I put fiction/fictional works. I like RWBY a bit, but I'm not obsessed with it. In the end, here's what I'd say:
-Conworlding (making your own worlds)
-Imagination

But, I have others:
-Languages (particularly Romance ones)
-Dabbling (in a story sense)
-Reading fanfiction ( )
-Analysing movements

Renaissance Europe has been long going.

Lately, I have been often investigating Adolf Hitler's drug habit and the possibility of his having Parkinson's Disease. I don't know if I should get a new interest. I do not support Nazism in any way.

I also like to write tragic scenes. Such as death. I have never written about someone murdering another though. Is this morbid obsession something to worry about?

I've had an interest in the weather since I was very young.

I ran up a $600 phone bill in 1971 because of this interest LOL

There were no 900 numbers in the early 70's.

I used to make "long-distance calls" all over the US and Canada to the "weather number" for many cities. Long-distance calls were expensive in the 1970s.

Art and several things linked to it. Designing,looking for hi res images from films I like(usually superheroes),looking for props to take photos of to turn into a painting.(for the last few weeks the props have been reflective or shiny things,Researching art I like,usually looking at artists work. Looking for book covers,Painting in general.
