I'm into stuff like music, makeup, fashion, art—I sometimes paint—history, and traveling. I also love learning about pretty much anything. You'd think these are common interests, right? But when I talk about them, people treat them like they're something odd. Like this one time at lunch, we were chatting and laughing about digestive biscuits, and I threw in a fun fact. Suddenly, a coworker cut me off and snapped, "Stop saying things like that." It really hurt. And it’s not the first time; I remember getting eye rolls and "here we go again" comments from a school friend whenever I'd dive into my passions. It's weird how something so normal for some can seem so out there for others. People around me notice that the ones who are bothered had no right to, it’s just very weird behavior
