does anyone else get super defensive over their interests? like when someone ik expresses that theyre getting into something that i already like i get jealous? i shouldn’t and i know its bad but still ☹️ it makes me feel like a bad person

This is so real i fear... i feel like for me its mostly due to autism ngl.... i want to know more abt my spinterests than anyone else

sometimes i do sometimes i dont. it rlly depends who it is. if its someone i hate then yea definitely

⠀ *⠀ Yeah I think …⠀ ? I think It depends for Me in the end, I don't know actually.

i'm the exact opposite. i practically throw a party whenever one of my friends gets into one of my interests and then i never shut up about it ever.

depends tbh.... i love when my friends get into my interests because then i have someone to talk to about them!!! i more-so get jealous if someone expresses liking said interests more than me, then that i get jealous and upset.. its understandable and you shouldnt feel like a bad person for it! its normal to feel defensive over something you like

Not really, I adore people getting into my interests [or already being into them]. The problem for me is when it’s someone I don’t like or had a falling out with.

kind of but if i'm friends with the person i'm excited bc i can talk about the thing with them!
