| I myself experience special interests, but I will say not having them can be a good thing. I've changed my college major several times already because I picked them based off of what was interesting at the time -- something I cannot distinguish from what I want to be doing for the rest of my life. I... |

| Hello, hopefully I put this in the right spot. I figured this phenomenon is considered psychological. Anyone else out there have a really strong sense of pareidolia? If that's what you call it?

| Roblox used to be one of my special interests! I started playing in 2010 and recently stopped due to them getting rid of the good parts of the games. I also used to collect Bakugan, even though I wasn't able to get many of them I do have a Drago that I will forever treasure. Enjoy your vacation! |

According to my mom I seized a little bit and I was unresponsive. Had a nice long ride to the ER in an ambulance, and had a ni... |

He would make up his own lyrics to songs...and he made millions doing it!
Perhaps, who knows, you could impress people with what you "make up" as you sing the songs.
