Weirdo Interests?

Post Reply New Topic

Would you find these interests weird?

Mind Control- I see it on TV all the time, and I thought it was cool. It actually exists according to some recent research. I thought hey, I thought it'd be cool to be one of their lab rats for their MC expiriments.

Sociopathic/Psychopathic behavior.-They fascinate me. I'm not psychopath. this is for character development for one of my books.

Sadistic/Ritual Abuse.- I didn't think it would exist.

Telekinesis(back in seventh grade. I was printing out all sorts of information and then showing it off to classmates.)

I think that's all I could think of.

would you guys think of it as Bizarre? That's what one of my teachers think. I don't see what's so bizarre about them.

I think that's one of the symptoms of AS I'm not sure. I don't know what's so bad about them.

I used to be obsessed with reproductive organs and human brains. Those are pretty strange obsessions.

In general, no. But I would admit that telekinesis and mind control are odd interests, as I don't think that either is real.

I, however, am also interested in psychopathic behavior. This is what I've thought about it. People who do horrible things are labeled as psychopaths, but I like to consider how they are humans just like everyone, with their own thoughts and feelings, even if they commit reprehensible acts. The important factor is a lack of empathy, which we have to admit is a way of thinking that many people who aren't called psychopaths also have. I also don't label psychopaths as "evil" because I don't believe in evil, they just made terrible decisions and should have gotten help. In some cases schizophrenia explains their behavior, such as that serial murderer who thought the devil or something was telling him to kill people. In other cases they made an unfortunate choice that can nonetheless be explained emotionally and rationally in its own way, such as with the Virginia Tech murderer. I can kind of understand the experience of someone who "goes crazy" like that. Someone I know who is a Buddhist mentioned at one time something that the Dalai Lama said, in response to a question about what he thought about people like the Virginia Tech murderer. The quote was something approximately like "I smile and wonder at how there exist such beautiful creatures".

They're actually quite interesting, IMO.

I dont see anything weird in those interests!

Im fascinated by mind control, I've read so many books about MK Ultra and all the other weird government initiatives to mess with peoples minds.

Telekenisis is something that interests me, Im also fascinated by remote viewing,astral projection and telepathy - I think theres a lot more to the human condition than we are led to believe!

Im also interested in the ritual use of psychedelic drugs , computer viruses, cryptography and a variety of other subjects that are regularly deemed strange by people I encounter.

I'm fascinated by ideas like telekinesis and telepathy--the idea that the human mind can do more than "normal" stuff. I've never done any actual research into it, but I think about them a lot.

They're not really interests, but I thought of some weird things in the sixth grade. One idea was that a shady, mysterious government entity could create a robot that would easily pass as just another classmate. I had explanations for everything...for example, to mimic the appearance of sweating, the robot would release a special liquid coolant in high temperatures.

Sixth grade was a weird year to me, but it seemed to be the year that I did some of my best thinking.

I think they are all good enough to like.

Whatever you're interested in, research. If your interest is in small children, however...

mind control - you actually want to be on the reciving end of it? that is a little weird, yeah, but I can see the appeal.

Sociopathic/Psychopathic behavior - sociopaths are interesting. nuff said.

Sadistic/Ritual Abuse - You didn't think it would exist? that's the strange part, not the interest therein.

Telekinesis - It's cool.

All in all, I think people find interest in anything that is not football a 'weirdo interest'.

1)comics (vic's name is based on drdoom)
2)dungeon and dragons (not mastering it only reading)
3)world of warcraft
4)books : lord of rings
5)fantasy films (they finally make some good ones)
6) gaming outside wow :1) rts- dawn of war and starcraft warcraft basebuilding rts not the army rts (medieval war etc) 2) hellgate

7)mythology : also play titan quest (for mythology geeks go there , a have to play game)
reading books research

ufo's, esp, telekinese etc you can find those also in some rpgs like the HERO system

Mind control is an interesting topic. I also read lots of stuff about it. Also on hypnosis... My bf thinks that is really weird.

If it's a symptom of Asperger's, and you guys say it's not a bad thing. Why do people find narrow interests strange?

I've seen my NT peers have a freakish narrow interest in MySpace,which in my opinion is sad, but I don't see anybody complaining about it.
