Stop using hyperfixation incorrectly please people I'm begging you

Hyperfixation ≠ a synonym for obsession, just because you're obsessed with something doesn't mean you are hyperfixated

Hyperfixation is a medical term, it's a phenomenon in which you will become so engrossed in a hobby, show, person, etc. that you will struggle to even remember to do basic tasks like eat or might not even be able to hear other people when you're being talked to

It doesn't just mean you have difficulty stopping the task because it's so fun and engaging, it means that you are basically living in your head for a while. This term is commonly used on neurodivergent people because specifically those with ADHD's brains are different and have difficulty making the person feel satisfied with the amount of content they are consuming or hobby they are doing (this is unlike hyperfocus where there is an end goal and you feel satisfied once you get it) it is basically chasing a high that you can never get, it effects your daily life for as long as you have it and by the way they don't last that long,

I'm not trying to be rude, but please stop using medical terms like this to describe the fact that you like/love a show or a new hobby it's changing the meaning of the word

And this mostly just goes for people who are not diagnosed with ADHD

Edit: I have been informed thankfully but gonna leave this up because I really do know some older folk from ff.net days still use the og terms

Hey so as a 28yr old I’m curious and really confused as to how the original definition of proshipping became so warped and misinterpreted, I’m figuring it’s probably got something to do with anti-shippers moving over to mainstream social media and influencing the whole 2020s mass influx of kids and teens moving into spaces they really weren’t mentally prepared and matured enough for

edit: I hadn’t really noticed the sudden influx of people on here thinking being a pro-shipper meant being ok with pedo or incest? Until a few people I follow had been reblogging stuff about it and it’s new to me context (and for the new fandom joiners)

I really want to say this because I know there are people older than 20 still are under the assumption that pro-ship still means ‘don’t like don’t read’ and ‘ship and let ship’ and newer generation fandom goers really should do even just a quick google of what anti-shipping and pro-shipping actually is, heck there’s even a research paper on the topic Please do some research the way the fandom environment is going is troubling and I don’t understand why the older fandom population haven’t been clarifying or explaining the words that are being misinterpreted and misused (I guess it’s a bit too late for that and we need to be informed ourselves)

Here’s a couple of links for anyone who wants to do a bit of reading about the pre Covid fandom life and culture

Has anyone else noticed the word “infantilizing” is get thrown around a lot? Like, in situations where it does not apply.

Infantilizing is to treat a person as a child or in a way which denies their maturity in age or experience according to the dictionary definition. It is something done to someone. I don’t understand why people are using it in terms of a piece of media, particularly one that is about the validity of its character’s choice no matter what age they are, or a pop star who is expressing herself as an adult who makes decisions on her own.

It’s stupid. I’m seeing it used not as an acknowledgment of someone’s maturity and independence but as a way to cast doubt on it where it otherwise wouldn’t be. By saying that someone or something is being infantilized when they aren’t… whoever’s doing that is the one infantilizing them, no matter how they phrase it.

Being infantilized is having your agency taken away or having your maturity questioned and all your decisions made for you. It has nothing to do with what you wear or what choices you make. It is something done to you, by yourself or those around you, usually those around you.

It’s often done to the elderly once they reach the point where they can’t take care of themselves on their own. It’s done in abusive relationships as a way to keep someone dependent. It’s done to the mentally ill. It’s done to people with disabilities.

Infantilizing someone literally means treating them like an infant, incapable making decisions or caring for themselves. It is not… whatever the hell else people think it is, not that the people misusing it seem to have clear idea of what they mean by it either…
