@Clownstrosity_ By now though I've learned that the more excited you are about things, the more polarizing your presence will be. I have some people in my life who love how passionate I am about the things I like, and people who DON'T like it stay away, so it's a good filtering system I feel.
@Clownstrosity_ yeah, when i was younger I tried discussing my special interest at the time with my partner at the time and he just stared at me, then said "so anyway" or smth. Yikes.
