As A Woman, I Am Fascinated, Not Only That. I'm Delighted. Please Make Sure It's Healthy Tho!!

It's also harder to relate to others, esp if you were like this since childhood and didn't really find what was more popular to be boring. Like I never found Diary of a Wimpy Kid interesting, never liked Warrior Cats (But I read Seekers, by the same author and I loved it). A lot of the songs I listen to aren't that popular (I played a finish the lyrics game the other day and someone accused me of making up a song bc no one had heard of the song I used). And like yea, I understand a lot of people literally LIE about having niche interests to seem special. BUT IT'S NOT FUN. Sometimes it even feels isolating because even when I wanna try to get into certain things that are considered 'mainstream' they don't catch my interest. For example: A few years back I made friends with this girl who really liked Demon Slayer, to try to relate to her since I really wanted to be her friend I tried to watch it to. I got through the first season but a majority of the time I was zoning out because I just didn't like what I was watching, not that it was bad (I don't even remember what happened😭) but because it just wasn't my taste. Then she started ignoring me and we moved on, I don't even miss her anymore. But the fact that I took hours out of my time still makes me uncomfortable.

And I think that did nothing to help my issue with not having what are considered 'normal' hobbies... Or that I'm neurodivergent😭😭 And yes, I do have friends that I can yap about certain interests to and occasionally get to like what I like, (I got two of my friends into this IF game I've been playing and one of them even finished all the available chapters before me). Sometimes I also try to get into their stuff but there is that caution of "Am I gonna waste my time like I did back then?"

With the friends I have now there is less pressure of that though, we can all just talk about our interests without really being involved. Thanks to this point I actually have some basic knowledge of Stranger Things despite having never encountered anything associated to it before.

I honestly have been thinking about this since I played that lyrics game; It's not something I necessarily want to change about myself, but I'd appreciate if people didn't accuse me of literally making up a song to win a game. I'm not even musically inclined.

I think the point I'm really trying to make is that people shouldn't lie about their interests in an attempt to feel unique. But at the same time people who actually have interests that aren't the most popular should also feel like they're allowed to have those. I've been judged for the things I like to do by even my own parents since I was a kid, I don't think any of this has been healthy for my self expression.

On Having Niche Interests

Something cool about having niche interests: Ppl think you're cool and unique if they believe you

Something horrible about having niche interests: Ppl think you're a liar and are just saying that you have niche interests to make yourself seem interesting.

Love the animals, they're so adorable!! At the bottom it says if it doesn't sound like you but you like it, it probably describes your type and/or future partner I guess that makes sense, this is not me... Or maybe it is? I've never been in a relationship. @ Anyone But I'm genuinely curious at what @bayharborkutcher would get. You don't have to do it tho!!! Happy (late) valentines day!

I have a little belated valentines tag chain for anyone who wants to play!

THE WAY THAT'S IN MY DRAFTS RN

That story made me who I am today and I can't help but hate it whenever I think about it. So instead I make a sequel fanfic.

sex is fine but have you ever thought about all the ways you’d rewrite a flawed piece of media that shaped your life and holds a special place in your heart despite its unfulfilled potential

Am I the only person who goes into the blogs of anyone who interacts with their posts? Like, not excessively but just a quick look. I would like to get to know you :)

I was just trying to be SILLY--

Gardening is for the traumatized characters who watched the mentor die

stop killing the mentor just because it’s "what you’re supposed to do." let them retire and take up gardening instead.

Yes, allow me to be pondered by wizards far and wide
