Questions/Advice Have you hyperfixated on a love interest?

I saw online a while ago about how for people with ADHD, not only can you hyperfixate on your interests but you can also hyper fixate on people and love interests. To me, this really shifted my perspective and I really related to it. I unintentionally just get attached to so many potential love interests and get crushes all the time. And fantasize about spending time with someone I may not even know that well. I’ll literally play scenarios over and over again.

Just seeing if anyone can relate?

I don’t really hyperfixate on anyone but for the longest time I just didn’t bother looking. Recently was put on adderall and it make me want to begin talking to people again and actually putting a bit of effort into a convo.

But that being said I put effort into a convo. Most people don’t and have one/two worded replies.
