At that point that becomes my info dump to relate to people! I still 3d print just not obsessively! I ride a motorcycle or bike to work if I work late. I make friends keyboards and computers. I bleed people's breaks and change their breakpads. My past special interests are my friends tools and my means to community and sense of belonging.
thats good for you. do you have to force yourself to do those things or do they still interest you, just not as much as before? For me it feels like once the hyperfixation fades you couldnt pay me a million bucks to touch that hobby again in any capacity until the special interest comes back.
Oddly if I do it for myself I have to force it. If I'm doing it for someone else it's fun. Interesting one of my partners pick up one of my old hobbies and it's rekindled my spark for luthier and wood working.
