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.

  • My daughter likes to spot security cameras. 

    It used to give me great anxiety when she was little as I'd imagine it would look dodgy like I was the one telling her to look out for them, but I've learned to be more relaxed about her interest. If we are sitting somewhere she'll point them all out and wave at them. 

    She got really excited about an add-on to Minecraft that let you have security cameras in the game.
