There are some interests of mine where I'm so obsessed to the point of not being able to interact with it
I got a book on the history of monasteries a while ago since I was so interested in the topic, but it's just been sitting on my bookshelf because I want everything to be 'perfect' before I read it.
(Anything Greek-myth-related is like this as well, though that's also because I have a very weird relationship with Ancient Greece). Like, **whaaat? A video on serial killers in Byzantium? I can't possibly watch this now, I'm not wearing a nice enough outfit!!1!11**
Dude, what does that even mean? Goddamnit, I want to smack myself!
Maybe a part of me is scared that the book or whatever will be too dense and I won't enjoy it at all, and another part is afraid that once the knowledge enters my brain, it will just vanish
