I think it depends on the friend, how well you know them, and how much you share about yourself with them. I'm open about being a nerd with some friends who I'm close with and we share about ourselves and I'm comfortable doing that with. My dad is probably the only one I actually share about nerdy stuff with because he's the one IRL person I know who shares some interests with me. But only to a certain extent. I don't share all my fandom stuff with him.

You really just have to figure out that person, that relationship, and how open you are to sharing with them and decide what you'll share about yourself and how much you want to talk with them about it.

AYRT

yes, agreed. I don't mean to make it sound like OP is definitely not allowed to talk about fandom, but since it's clearly something they're worried about, I'm guessing they've picked up on some "your conversational partner is bored and/or irritated" signals from those friends, and I don't think those should just be ignored or reassured away.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I'm lucky in that most of my friends are also into fandom interests, we do listen to each other sound off about whatever we're excited about and it's super good. I love listening to them talk about the thing they like.

I struggle with the feeling that I'm a deeply annoying person and I've been reassured by a handful of my very close friends that I'm not, my best friend even said they enjoy my enthusiastic energy.

But that feeling I'm annoying that combined with the fact that I don't pick up on important social queues 75% of the time leads me to overstep. I apologize when I notice and stop but sometimes I don't realise for a few days.

Sometimes I just don't talk at all because whatever fandom I'm into is taking up nearly all of my waking thoughts to the point where there's nothing else going on in my head. And my rabbit holes go so deep I end up learning very specific things about my interest that frankly I know only I care about.
