Anyone else feel like they are one dimensional? Like, I only like about 5 things and I think most people like, about 20+ things. I’m just really into the interests I do have rather than spreading it across 20+ interests. When people ask what I’m into, I draw a blank most of the time (after talking about two specific things lol) or I have nothing in common with the other person.

There's nothing wrong with having a small amount of things in life that you love as oppose to a lot. I'd say that makes you more unique as an individual, not one dimensional. My interests are limited too and I love it, I couldn't handle being into so much all at once and that includes how I live my life in comparison to others.
Well alongside my tumbling mental health and anxiety, it seems like I've upset my stomach and have been feeling sick for the last 12 hours including taking a sick day from work because of it. Things just seem to sliding each and every day at the moment. Oh well at least the weather forecasters are predicting rain and thunderstorms at the weekend, that should perk me up a bit.
I don’t think someone is one dimensional for liking a small amount of things. I don’t have that many interests either. I focus on one or two things at a time . Having too many can be overwhelming at times for me. I also draw a blank when asked about interests. Time is also a factor for me so I would rather spend my free time on one or two things then many.
I can somewhat relate? I have a good amount of things I like, but as for things I'm good at I'm only good at martial arts and writing. I don't think that makes me one dimensional though. I've honed my skills in those two areas over time and have become really good at them. It's like the character Zenitsu from Demon Slayer. He can only perform one lightning breathing attack, but he has around a dozen variations of it, each stronger than the last. My job isn't even related to anything I like, but I'm good at it anyway.
I personally agree with the others that have replied that it's better to have fewer interests rather than many, for various reasons. I also can't stand the types of people who take on everything in life and are good at everything, that's more annoying to be honest.
forgot to eat breakfast today, had to present a project and then play field hockey.. i nearly ended up fainting in class and had to call my mom and dad to pick me up from school. i'm alright now but god i will never skip out on breakfast ever again after that. im at least eating some toast before i head out.

I have a cold and the fever is really annoying. Unfortunately I also have to drag myself outside to buy food and other things the flesh suit needs to survive.
I feel like I’m like this too. I’ve heard people with Asperger’s (I don’t know if I have specifically that, but I am somewhere on the autism spectrum) have unlimited, but intense interests, I’m a lot like this.
It bothers me when an author goes from having two options for their books to one. My mom really loves this book series so I have been buying her a paperback version each time a new one gets released. The first 15 you can buy either paperback or kindle. Unfortunately the newest book and the next one to be released looks like they are kindle only . I really hope they eventually release them to paperback so I can continue getting her the books.

speaking of interests, I need to know if there is someone on this forum who could somehow rival my immeasurable obsession with Super Mario stuff haha
Not an obsession, but Mario is easily my favorite game series. I prefer the side games like Mario Kart and Mario Party!

I don't really want to complain too much, because the people in Canada obviously have it much worse right now...but the smoke from the Canadian wildfires has been pretty substantial on the east coast, and it's bothering my eyes/throat/lungs here in NJ. - Sun didn't really "set" here, so much as just turn blood red and disappear about an hour early behind a thick cloud of smoke. Been feeling kinda light headed all day...and can only imagine how things are for people who are truly sensitive.
my coworker cornered me today and asked about my religion, which church i attend, if i've ever been "saved." i don't like talking about religion and i hate when people try to convince me to be one thing or another, but i also don't want my work shifts to be weird or awkward so i lied about it all to get her off my back. i wish i hadn't.

I was at work yesterday and the light coming in through the window was really yellow compared to normal, and I was confused until I remembered those wildfires are going on. it was so strange to see the sky be that hazy. I hope those who are affected hang in there

I’m getting really exhausted from the personal issues happening in my life. I just want it to stop. Doesn’t really help how I woke up still feeling sleepy and groggy to start the day. 
BIG TRIGGER WARNING FOR MENTIONS OF UNALIVE!! i grew very close to someone very quickly and she's a lovely human, she just told me this morning that she found out someone she was closed to had passed away last night really tragically and suddenly. my friend is being very brave about it but i can tell she's hurting a lot and it's ripping me to pieces seeing her like this 
i've never been great at coping with death on my own accord so trying to help someone ELSE with it is terrifying, but i want to help my friend so badly. i don't want her to feel alone. i'm just scared of hurting her feelings or making it worse. god it's so ****ing tragic i'm mourning someone i don't even know on my friends behalf.

The best thing you can do is listen and be there for her.BIG TRIGGER WARNING FOR MENTIONS OF UNALIVE!! i grew very close to someone very quickly and she's a lovely human, she just told me this morning that she found out someone she was closed to had passed away last night really tragically and suddenly. my friend is being very brave about it but i can tell she's hurting a lot and it's ripping me to pieces seeing her like this
Also, I don't think it is unusual to mourn someone you don't personally know. i can relate to that feeling this week.
I witnessed a stranger plunge to his death at 1:57AM on Monday. The memory has been replaying in my head on a loop since. I've no clue who he even was, but he's all I can think about.

No, one mourns the wicked
A little late but I also relate to this. It’s also hard to distinguish between things I’m good at and my actual interests. Like everyone else said, I don’t think it means you’re one-dimensional, that’s just a part of who you are, and when you find someone who has something in common with you, it’s the best feeling in the world.
Why do I have to be such a klutz? I feel like I could just be walking on flat ground and trip over air somehow.
