Protective of Special Interests

Post Reply New Topic

I'm very used to others not listening, not caring, &/or not understanding me when I do talk. I was bullied a lot when I was little. I also never had a close relationship with anyone in my family or anyone else offline except for my current girlfriend. I've been a loner my whole life & always had few friends. I've had some interests that were common & OK to talk about, some that were common but considered inappropriate to talk about outside of select company like porn I watch, some interests that were uncommon, & some interests that were uncommon that others would find distrusting. As a general rule I only talk about my interests offline with others who are into it & like talking about em. I talk about my interests a lot more online like on this forum than offline.

I'm particularly secretive of my special interest by default.

I don't have the same impulse to info dump unless prompted, or is at least necessary in attempt to inform someone by that sort of depth and detail and I had enjoyed doing so.

And my own experiences of (any attempts of) sharing special interest so far had been mostly positive.

I'm either just selfish about it or deem it as a guilty pleasure and deny a sign of interest out of pride.


My main negative experiences about special interests, other than a potential distraction at work, is either inaccessibility or expensiveness.

Almost never about over sharing, potential legal or social troubles, nor had made other people overwhelmed, bored or uncomfortable with it.
