Lets be totally blunt, hyperfixation isn’t for neurotypical people. Alright? There are other words you can use, Fixate, Focus on, pay special attention to, etc. Hyperfixate is for NEURODIVERGENT people! And it isn’t always a good thing! But it is for neurodivergent people.
Im sure there are bajillions of other threads that better explain this (If I find them I’ll add them), but I’ve seen neurotypicals try to like-use this word in a derogatory way and say “it’s just a word” and “it isn’t exclusively for neurodivergent people” and uh...yeah. It is :p
