I feel just awful for people who have to hide their interests! D:
I have very few friends who share my interests, but I don't keep what I like secret or anything and if my friends ask I'm happy to tell.

Oh, and my girlfriend and I are interested in pretty much all the same stuff, but I generally really got lucky in the 'significant other' department.

Sooo what is the point of this? You want us to pat you on the back for being flawless spectacular confident amazing? Backpats to you!

(and snickers behind your back)

Why is this a secret if you "don't regret a thing"?

Maybe OP just wants to avoid discussions with people like the one, who commented right before you.
Or they just wanted to share their "time of their life" with other fandom folks.
Or they wanted to encourage other people, to be more open about their hobbies, too.
Or they want to know, why other people can't be that open.
Or...

Okay, I'm running out of ideas, I don't get the reason for this being a secret, either... But I like my theories.

Maybe they feel awkward when other people on the internet talk about things like "hiding their powerlevels"?

One of the most awesome things that's happened to me recently was getting a job interview for a pretty darned good job, and finding out at the interview that my brother (works in the same department) had been showing the people who interviewed me my cosplay pictures for years - meaning I wouldn't have to worry about being coy when I needed time off for conventions. Not only did they interview me despite the goofy costumes, they hired me.

So yeah. Being a geek (even the type who dresses up as video game characters on weekends and builds cardboard armor in your kitchen on days off) is not as big a deal once you're old enough to be defined by the other things you do and qualities you have. ;)

I think it's pretty important that people close to you at least understand that you have certain interests and hobbies, and accept that. I don't get hiding that like it's a deep dark secret.

I do the exact same thing. If you can't handle my frequent fangirling of pokemon, anime in general, and adoration for Rahm Emanuel, you can kiss my ass. :>

Though seriously, I don't get why people who friend others who hated what they were into. I wouldn't be able to handle being around people who hated something I loved with a passion, ya know?

I don't get why people befriend people who vocally hate what they like D: I mean, I get that finding other people with nerdy interests isn't easy, but surely there are people who don't tear people apart for their nerd interests?

I do get why some people would be shy about discussing their hobbies, though. I was always open about it for better or for worse, but I don't blame people for keeping it secret.

I feel bad for people who hide it from friends, family & SOs but you can bet I hide my fangirling from my coworkers, never check my fangirl email from work, etc. We're not all students and some of us have to pass as no more than mildly eccentric irl.
