Interests that you CAN'T talk much about...

Post Reply New Topic

For me, its more Im into weird psychology and LGBT issues and stuff. Or making sexual references to people who arent my close friends. Otherwise, as long as I dont talk excessively about a subject, normally Im fine. I just have to make sure to track the persons interests cause after a while if I've went on and on about something then the person looses track of what Im saying pretty quickly.

Try embalming and human decomposition. My two interests at the moment. Oh, I'll talk about them anywhere, just bring up a dead celebrity!

One of my main interest are psykologi and drugs in general. (guess i spelled it wrong, english are not my native etc...) but since i am an ex drugabuser, and all of my friends are ex users, they forbid me to talk about it, and i think that are frustrating. i also loves litterature, but addicts that are not on the spectrum have offcourse not read a thing so i cant talk about that either Yup ypu guessed it right, i lose friends faster than nt`s gainn them

The interests I don't usually talk about because I don't want to be called a Tomboy is Im a big sports fan. Watching the Nrl Im a big footy fan my favourite team is The Sydney Roosters. I love watching the Grid Iron and my favourite team is Dallas Cowboys. I love the V8 Supercars go Craig Lowndes, World Wrestling Go DX!! ! Shawn Michaels, I love Holden Commodores. I used to be involved in a Holden Commodore Club and two other clubs. I used to hang out with other car lovers at a local car park every Friday night and go on car cruises all the time. I love going four wheel driving, I love anything to do with cycling, bmx and mountain biking. Im into Astronomy and I used to be in a Astronomy club. I love the show Time Team and anything on Archeology. I love Dinasaurs, I have a collection of 80s memrobilia and Im into the paranormal, spiritual and ghosthunting.

one main interess i have never told anyone before right now in this post, is reading erotica, not visual porn, but in written form. dont lie when i say i used 3-8000 hours on that in my teens.

I have always been interested in historical events such as the Battle of Hastings, but it is a pity that people around me aren't very interested in History. My dad even asked, "Can you obsess over something more meaningful?"

Guys....read the original post a little more carefully...

I don't mean interests you can't talk much about because people don't wanna hear about it

I mean interests you can't talk much about because YOU DON'T KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT THE SUBJECT AS YOU SHOULD.

You have an interest in something, but not to the point where you're able to hold a good conversation

Like me with skateboarding...

Yes, I love it and I skate as much as I can but the minute someone starts talking about local contests, huge commercial skate teams, or the X-games, the most I'll do is nod my head and say "Cool" and I won't have anything to contribute to the conversation because my knowledge is limited. I like the act of skateboarding rather than actually following the sport itself.

Make sense?

I'm very mechanically inclined, but I lack the vocabulary for it. When someone asks me how I fixed something I sound like an idiot. I'm caught just pointing to things and saying well I cleaned this off, got the rust off that over there, and replaced this part here.

I'm more of a do'er than a talker, except when I need to figure something out that I can't find the answer to on my own. People get so frustrated with me when I bug and bug em to help me find the answer. I can be relentless (in hindsight). When I was younger, getting me to focus on something else that I already had a handle on and didn't need help with was the adults way of telling me to leave them alone; like when I was 10 and obsessed with exactly how a baby was conceived and born. The way they acted, you'd have thought I was asking what position my mother was in when she was having sex. They acted like the question was indecent. Come to think on it, they usually act as if all my questions are indecent (which were/are not). We had the "talk" in school, but they didn't go into enough detail for my liking.

yes. very much yes. i'm way into music, always have been from the womb. became very fascinated with playing it, too. not that i'm that good. but kinda the same thing as you. i wouldn't know gear to save my life. i really wish i could carry on with my brothers and his friends, they know about amps and pickups and truss rods and action and everything. i only have a vague notion that some kinds of wood are better for different parts of the guitar. that's really it. also, i went to music school for a year. i still don't know that s**t, and all anyone around me did was talk shop about it. so it's really awkward for me not to know it.
and about letting people have the floor.. the interesting thing there is that i think you have to be savvy enough to ask the right questions to get people going on it.. i mean.. you can't really always just go.. "what's xxxx?" and expect anything out of them. it kinda has to be more specific to get a good learnin' from them. does anybody agree with that?

I have a couple. The main one is amusement park rides. Now, I told this story one other time on here, but I went to Coney Island (the Cincinnati one, not the New York one) and they had a Tilt-A-Whirl. I ended up telling the ride operator about how they totally reconfigured how the ride runs, so that the ride operators can just run it while sitting down. I must have went on for about 10 minutes about it. It was kinda funny in retrospect.

I can't talk much about video games either, because my game choices aren't mainstream. :/
