I like how you accept that you have hyperfixations and then aim them at things that keep you healthy! That's pretty insightful. Thanks for sharing.

I see that you have a thing for flags. Ever hear do the Kingdom of Benin's flag? It's a bit intense lol

I have a question: what does black on flags generally represent? I think it usually means something anarchist or lack of central command, but I know I could be entirely wrong do to my personal political beliefs.

I love my ability to hyperfixate because it helps me become proficient in areas. For example, I went from knowing how a guitar practically works to running a guitar training and counseling program for people with severe PTSD that helped them communicate their emotions via music within 9 months. For that, I had to learn how to play guitar, teach playing guitar, come up with a protocol, then learn how to use that information to help the people I was helping express themselves musically. I did all of the learning on my own time, not work hours. The impact it had on those people was immeasurable and I still have the songs they wrote. They will forever be my treasures.

My hyperfixations generally tend to revolve around becoming autonomous and prepared for difficult situations. They also revolve around science, especially physics, and history. I can get lost down rabbit holes for days if I'm not careful. Right now, I'm getting a bit hyper-fixated with the whole FOSS and Fediverse idea, so it's looking like I might get into computer programming. I'm kind of excited to learn about that and how I can implement the options to accommodate my life more fittingly and help others.
