>>116842583Hat traders on TF2 show clear signs Compulsive and Restricted behaviours, and to an extent, also depicting sameness.
They may view it as normal, but it's quite contrary. Hat traders don't realize they're addicted to standing around servers the whole day, commenting on what they have on offer and what they'd like to purchase.
This also reflects their unwillingness to change. Some have been into trading since it's conception a few years ago, and when told by anyone to actually 'play the game', they take a defensive stance and acknowledge that it's a 'part of the game', and that they can stop at any time.
These signs of compulsive and restricted behaviours are common signs of austism.
