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

I remember I had to fain interest in various sports which supposedly I'm supposed to care about. What do I have for the local team won or lost?

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...
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.
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.
