Outside of this space, do you ever get the chance to have a conversation about the things you find interesting?
There are a few things I’m really passionate about (rocks, minerals, wood/tree species and grain patterns, traditional joinery techniques, wood turning, strength sports etc.). But whenever I try to talk about any of them I either get the impression that people are uninterested (which may be the case for my niche interests), that I’ve targeted the wrong audience or, even more interestingly, people come out and directly comment on how boring my interests are (even in jest, but with a perceived layer of truth hidden).
Just be yourself they say… but obviously don’t actually be yourself!
Id love to actually speak out loud about my interest sometimes, but just haven’t found anyone interested enough.
