I don’t even have weird interests. I don’t want people to talk to me. Reduce the attack surface, you know.

My family and friends are all at least as weird as me, so I don't know how to answer this question.

Thank you for understanding me.

Lol I pretended so hard to have boring, respectable tastes that I actually grew an appreciation for things like classical and opera at a really young age.

Nobody knew that I played World of Warcraft for 6 years, because I didn't want to get labeled as a nerd. For perspective, I was an athlete, who rode dual-sport motorcycles, did martial arts, and spent many evenings out partying, so the type of people I associated with weren't into computer stuff at all. I've always had that duality though.

Worst is when you realise so many others have the same passion, but they are misogynistic assholes about it so I can't really enjoy it anymore...

Normal is defined, in this case, as what the majority of people experience. As opposed to what the majority of people think everyone else is experiencing. Meaning it's normal to be ridculed by your family for trying to be yourself.

I loooove having hobbies. Unfortunately I can't make a lot of them part of my identity or try and perform them publicly cause if my family catches wind of it it'll suddenly become my least favorite thing to do.

Family? Yes, my siblings and my dad are assholes about stuff like that.

It took awhile but Ive learned to share it with most, and cut out the rest.
