What's your special interest?

Meeples

I've noticed there a lot of posts on this forum about making friends and finding others who share an interest, so I thought I'd start a thread where people could talk about the stuff that really interests them and maybe connect with others who feel the same about that topic. I hope that's okay, and I'm sorry if a thread like this already exists and I missed it.

I know I have several interests which I get VERY excited about and would love to find others to geek out with on - as it can feel really lonely to not have people who share the same passion or get excited about the same things. But I also love listening to people talk about things that they're really passionate about too, so I would genuinely love to hear about everyone special interests too.

I find it really hard to make friends and am always cautious about talking about the things that really interest me, after years of being told that I'm weird/creepy/boring for getting obsessed with stuff that I like. But that's just me, and if I get passionate about something then I can't help but  focus on it. And that makes sense to me. Why wouldn't someone focus on something that makes them happy?

  • K-pop is my special interest

    I'll actually say music more broadly, however k-pop tends to be my main interest. With groups and fandoms and all that goes with it, it is easy to spiral into it. There's a lot to explore and the many groups and constant promotions make it even more easy and addicting. 

    I like j-pop too but I'm very particular about what type of Japanese music I like. Of course there are k-pop songs and Korean songs I dislike but the range of Korean music I listen to is a lot more broad than j-pop.
