Unless it's an actual niche/obscure band or musical genre. Like if someone I knew turned out to be really into polka music and played the tuba in a band that did toured regionally, I'd be really into it. If you just like Sufjan Stephens, no. |

It's narcissism. I have a family member whose cancer resolved 20 years ago, and it's still all about her cancer. |

There are a lot of people who make an old trauma their whole personality. I know a woman who had a premie her a decade ago, and went on to have two more kids, and it's still her "thing." As her kid gets older I feel like it gets more and more awkward -- this child is healthy and fine and has no memory of any of this, but her mom brings it up all the time. |

A true passion for some obscure music or thing? Cool, interesting, fun. It’s pretentiousness and a superiority complex that makes this personality take a turn for the worst |

I don’t actually mind these people — if you have a debilitating chronic illness it kind of is your entire life. Although tbf most people I know with illnesses like that are encyclopedias of tv shows/movies they enjoy because they don’t get out much and I like hanging out with them to talk about that. |

I think PP is more referring to people who claim to have a disease or affliction but then show zero symptoms and it does not actually appear to curb their life in any way, but they still talk about it/post about it all the time. I know a woman who has made having ADHD her whole personality and posts about it online all the time and brings it up in about 80% of conversations, but she's extremely high functioning. She's my boss's boss, she and her DH invest in real estate on the side, she's a parent and seems to be very on top of her. I'm not questioning her ADHD diagnosis, but she's one of the highest functioning people I know, period, not just with an executive functioning disorder. Maybe her ADHD is mild or she's just very well supported, but it comes off as very sympathy-seeking because it's very clear that her ADHD does not hold her back at all. I really think she just wants people to feel bad for her, or is trying to build herself up even more. It comes off as really whiny and disingenuous. |
