I think the dangerous thing is the addiction. We need to get our doses of that stuff we are connected with.
That I can understand, this is why people get worried.
And perhaps this is the difference between neurodiverse and neurotypical people, we tend to be more addictive people because we tend to go deep into things.
For instance, a harmless thing such as liking a specific kind of music or a specific singer. I am a musician and I hardly hear any music. I loathe most of the music that there is out there. But when I find something I like, something extraordinary, I need to hear it over and over again, till I understand how the guy did what he did.
At present I am in love with this singer Dimash Kudaibergen. I am listening to him so exhaustively that I think people may find it obsessive. But it has a purpose. I am studying everything he does, I am watching videos on people discussing how he does what he does. I am learning.
I think our obsessions are related to some kind of wonder. We are happy to see how things are wonderful. And sometimes a specific thing amuses us.
But if we think of those things as drugs, like any drug we need to have a break to get its effects, otherwise we get immune to its effects and get only headaches. If we stay away for some time, when we are back, they are even more delicious.
