Does anyone here find they really enjoy groups of things, collections, arrays, assortments, varieties? I can't really explain it adequately, but I've always somehow enjoyed collections of various things. One of the things i always think about that I've enjoyed since i was a kid, was the way a building in a city might have a set of signs in a vertical column with different logos for all the different stores/businesses within. Somehow i just found it satisfying to see all these different self-contained designs, all representing a variety of products or services. I also have really heavily enjoyed collectibles in my time: action figures, trading cards, video games, etc.

I also remember having a couple posters above my bed years ago that each had a grid of like 100 different smiley faces that said "Have a day" and each smiley had a different expression/look and it said under it "Have a happy day" or "Have a broken day" or "Have a plaid day" and eventually i got a sequel poster that said "Have a night" with 100 different night-theme smileys each with their own "Have a _____ night"

Just wonder if that's a common trait anyone else here can relate to 😅

I have a similar odd thing that I can only descibe as being fascinated with articulation.

Robots, skeletons, suits of armor, dolls, gears, some insects.

Something made of distinct pieces moving in articulated ways, it's a downright core desire.

I also like things separated but still connected like by a string, cable, or wireless. Like kites, security cameras, or drones.

I used to have a toy fishing rod with a rubber fish at the end that I love just throwing in the lake and realing back in. It just tickles my brain.

And more similar to yours, I really love spreadsheets! They can do so many things!

I love mechanical computers and typewriters. I cannot explain properly why but when I see one I'm always amazed.

I don't have the energy right now to try and express myself in English but some of what you have said has resonated with me.

I think I experience something similar to the toy building feeling. Dunno if it's related to ADHD but still.
