Your Whackiest Special Interest in Adulthood??

Post Reply New Topic

I don't mean obsessions over things that NTs are interested in like Harry Potter, a band, a type of literature, makeup, a type of animal, a TV show, shoes, a particular war, a type of natural disaster, etc.

I'm talking about WHACKY, REALLY WEIRD, ESOTERIC special interests. In adulthood.

Some of mine: wood chipper deaths, elevator crush deaths, fatal pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions caught on tape, mental hospitals and mental patients, huge ponytails, thick long braids, birds crashing into windows, and boxers being knocked out and seizing.

Can anyone here beat this "weirdness"?

This is more of an extension of another special interest (anatomy and biology/anthropology) instead of being an SI itself, but I'd like to eventually acquire a couple human skulls (there are skulls sold online that were previously used for research, anatomy classes, etc.) and collect prepared specimens of other animals. It's not actually that weird since I've seen NT people do that, but I don't mention it often because most people still do find it weird and concerning. I'm already odd enough without coming across as a straight up potential serial killer. lol

I was obsessed about violent kids for a while except the only thing is it was always upsetting me because I was always seeing the parents being blamed for their child being abusive and blaming them when they stand up for themselves by sending them away and then the kid blames them for it. Dr. Phil has done a trend of showing these stuff on his show.

Jigger popping, pimple popping and toenail fungus videos.

daughter loves watching people vomit. Loves pimple popping videos,
I love anything to do with skeletons, bones, mummified/frozen mammoths and other animals, including humans from melting snow such as in the alps and siberia. (otzi et al)

I'm also obsessed with wrinkles now and any fine lines in the skin from years of facial movement. I even look close at my kids faces now for any lines and notice some near my son's mouth and that vertical line on my daughter's cheek where she slept and the skin had been pressed together for so long it left a little mark. I also like to zoom in on photos online and look for any pore and fine line in the skin.

My Little Pony. My Little Pony forever, I have loved them since I was 2. And WWII era airplanes, my favorite is the Gruman F4F Hellcat. I love folklore and paranormal stuff. Shih-Tzus, I've loved the breed every since we adopted Peppy. I am also a pop-a-holic. I find it weirdly relaxing, and I also kinda wonder if Youtube had existed when I was in middle school (showing my age here) when I cystic-nodular acne if I would have picked at my own acne less.
And here lately I've had a weird obsession with WWI (I blame Sabaton) and I've been looking into a lot of information about it, especially gas warfare (the most feared weapon but, ironically, the least lethal of all others).

I sometimes listen to burping/hiccuping videos on YouTube. NOT a special interest but more of a fetish.

Feedee cam girls/BBWs - the subculture is interesting
