I know it's petty, I've been such a person...but I can't really stand people who point out how they "were there first" when it comes to anything, but mostly with pop culture stuff.

Can't simply be glad to hear someone you're talking to is also a Bridgerton fan. Have to let them know you read the books before the show came out and you were a fan of Regé-Jean Page and Jonathan Bailey before they were on Bridgerton.
Can't simply be a Dr Who fan. Have to point out you were watching the show since you were an infant and you simply were born with a taste for British media so you just knew as an infant that Dr Who needed to be watched from the beginning and even though the tenth Doctor is your favorite, you've watched them all and there hasn't been a day that had passed that you didn't know about Dr Who.
Can't simply be a fan of Metallica. You got their first record when they were still underground and before they went mainstream.

Like, IDK. I thought people would grow out of this competitive need to be the first fan (therefore you have the authority to gatekeep everything) before they hit...IDK their 20s-30s?

I also hate conversing with people who either don't bother to ask you some inviting question to start a conversation or they ask you a question about yourself, do not bother to do a followup to acknowledge they heard and absorbed your response but instead simply just start going off about themselves.
IE
P1: *hovers*
P2: Hey
P1: Hey, last night I was watching this new show with Benedict Cumberbatch in it and it's my new favorite show. I also have a doctor's appointment later today *goes on about whatever they want to talk about*

Or

P1: Hey how are you?
P2: Good, though I woke up late this morning.
P1: My day has been boring. My new diet makes me eat the same thing every day.

Like...clearly you didn't give a shit how I am. You just want to talk about yourself. Could have simply asked me if I'm free to talk...
And I understand everyone has their own POV and social skills but yesh, am I tired of my humanity not being recognized and appreciated by some people.

Just because I'm not super chatty doesn't mean I'm desperate for just any form of conversation. Wish some people would understand that.
I can tell you are desperate for conversation (hence you hover around me) but I don't know why you think I'm obligated to give you company just because I said hi or am not talking to anyone.
