I think this is an #autism, #actuallyautistic or #actuallyadhd question but does anyone feel alienated because no one is as invested in their interests as you are? For an example, I’m a huge #swiftie and know lots about Taylor Swift and her music. It makes me excited.

Does anyone feel as though the level and intensity that they invest in their interests alienates them.

I’m feeling very alienated have no friends. Hope I get some feedback soon.

Yes. For me it's the depth of the investment and also the longevity. A while back, I had a group of friends that was into board games (Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, etc). They'd play a game once or twice and then move on. I'd identify a favorite and want to play it over and over, to truly learn it. Some of those games, like Go, I was able to pursue without them, and still play many years later. I'm sure those people have forgotten all about them.
