OBSESSIVENESS and Neuro-Diversity

Let's just get really HONEST --- I don't have a website with over 1,000 pages because I'm NOT obsessive.

• "OCD" is part of Neuro-Diversity and that can look a lot of different ways.
• Further, Neuro-Diversity is very blurred and many to most people have more than one diagnosis.

Further, we have HYPER-CONNECTED BRAINS, Intense Emotions that are often "normal" in every way except INTENSITY and the much talked about REJECTION SENSITIVE DYSPHORIA.

You could see how this could go awry in many, many, many ways.

• One of the experiences I have recently had is someone seemingly trying to CATFISH me for a few days.
  

 Two of my favorite artistic examples of romantic obsessiveness gone awry are Miranda Lambert's "Mama's Broken Heart" and John Green's young adult novel "Paper Towns."

MTV's Catfish

"Nev and Kamie are back on the road, uncovering secrets behind elusive small-town crushes, mysterious international pop stars and more as they investigate how far catfishing goes in 2022."

The Scope:  Why Do People Catfish?

Miranda Lambert
Mama's Broken Heart

John Green

Quentin "Q" Jacobsen

The protagonist and narrator of the story. Quentin is the stereotypical rule-follower. He likes things to be neat and simple, making him the complete opposite of Margo Roth Spiegelman. Quentin has had a crush on Margo since they were kids, but the distance he kept from her created a perfect image of her in his head that turned out not to be real. His desire to find her after she goes missing drives the events of the story.

What is so cool about John Green is that he is very open about his OCD and I think it takes a lot of guts to write about romantic obsession as in "Paper Towns."

We are at the point of OPENLY talking about CATFISHING --- there is a 2010 film and a MTV Documentary-reality series.

Even as we are in the midst of FAKE IDENTITIES and SOCIAL MEDIA POSTURING ----

• that is IRONICALLY ACCELERATING the NEED for MORE AUTHENTICITY.
