In my experience I have some say in what I hyperfixate on. Does anyone else experience this or do you guys get dragged along by your brains latest fancy?

That's been my survival mechanism. I'd be homeless otherwise but I was able to hyperfixate on work related things and become a workaholic after failing out of school (where I couldn't focus on courses I didn't like).

My life/work balance has never been good, but its awesome to be fixated on the thing people pay you money to do.
