I've never had someone say that my hyperfixations and special interests are overrated, but that's usually because I don't share them to the world that much. I do tend to feel like crying when someone says that they don't like the things I like and think that those things are just bad or cringy though. I have bad rejection sensitive dysphoria and I hate any kind of judgement towards me and the groups of people that I belong to because of it. Sometimes I will go into a spiral of looking at what people are saying about people like me and I just can't stop making myself feel bad by looking at that kind of stuff, but eventually I feel better and like I'm above other people's opinions again. It's a process to learn how to just unappologetically be yourself and to not care about what other people think, but hopefully you will get to that point. People will always be mean to others that they see as different. There will also always be people who like you for who you are. Sending you love and smiles
