Having niche interests is hard

Jamesmac

So, I've always found it hard to connect to many people over the course of my life because I find I have no common interests with them. They always talk about what's mainstream and what everyone else is doing, but then I try to talk about stuff I'm interested in - niche, almost obscure stuff as far as the mainstream goes, and nobody really cares.

It's kinda disheartening in a way. It doesn't really help that I often find whatever's mainstream to be kinda dumb and mindless.

  • Yep. I always wondered why I didn't watch any comedy. Although I did like Alan Partridge from years ago, but watched it way too many times. When I tried what everyone was raving about - Little Britain, I didn't get it at all. I don't get what is funny about it, it's the same joke every week. Maybe it's just me. It's not that I don't have a sense of humour - I just have more fun in my own head.
