This is also a paper that talks about how hyper-focus can be negative. Which is not understood enough by most people.

Rumination is your brain utilising negative thinking against you in a way that meets both the need for being 'interesting' to you, and becoming all encompassing like hyper-focus.

Which is why a lot of people emphasise the need for people who do hyper-focus to have their self-esteem kept in tact as much as possible, because otherwise it can become one of the most self-limiting things about you.

It's hard to break out of heavy rumination.

I appreciate that this study points out the downsides of hyperfocus bc a lot of emotional regulation issues are related to the stickiness of attention and inability to disengage imo!

Will definitely come back to this paper

Maybe the reason I do so much screen time is so I don't have to suffer the hangover after hyperfocus then? Yeah... we're gonna with that 😂
