Does anyone else feel as though they don’t quite fit into one of the neurodivergent “buckets” when it comes to interests?

I’ve honestly been doing my best to not categorize myself as completely neurodivergent and instead seeing it as a part of me (because I feel like sometimes it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy) but lately I’ve noticed I don’t really have the same interests as other NDs in my life.
Personality wise, I just can’t seem to be able to get into video games, anime, tv shows, movies, card games (magic the gathering for example) or really anything that most NDs find interesting. Of course, ND covers a wide umbrella so I’m mainly referring to some of the most (seemingly) common divergent neurotypes (ADHD and ASD).
I think this is what drives a lot of my loneliness, though I am curious whether others are able to relate 🥲 I genuinely try to get interested in some of the things I mentioned above, but I think what proves that I am not interested is the fact that most of those things feel like a chore (even though they’re supposed to be fun)
