And yet it's just fine to have something like knitting or sports be your only hobby.

some people don't even have one single 'hobby'
my late father was about maths & maths only
never percieved as a problem

i'm sorry, but even after reading several posts agreeing with you, i still don't get it, secret-poster

It's this whole idea that we're supposed to 'outgrow' fandom. Fuck that noise. The first fandoms were made up of adults in their 30s and 40s (early Sci-fi and Lovercraft fen and were talking pre-WWII with a lot of it). Most fanfiction zines back in the day were by women in their late 20s and 30s.

Why is it more acceptable for me to have ton of books about Elinor of Aquitaine, Margery Kempe, and Chaucer, but not to have action figures and sci-fi posters?

strange, isn't it?

maybe i've grown up in a family which is extreme on the no-conventional-hobbies side of things, but the only things beyond their professions they've loved (i'm talking about my grandparents/parents here) are stuff like solving crosswords, playing chess & bridge, smoking & drinking lol
and listening to music, of course

to me the secret-posters friend has legit hobbies coming out of her ears C:

Sports especially.

Yeah wearing weird things and painting yourself for a sports game is seen as normal for adults to do, but cosplay? GASP YOU AREN'T A CHILD STOP PLAYING DRESS UP! I don't get it.

It's still rude to only talk about that with people who aren't interested.
How do you like it when your sport/fashion/whatever obsessed friends just.won't.stop talking about it? Bored to tears, aren't you? Perhaps feeling a bit left out?

Seriously, is your hobby the only thing you ever talk about? There's more to life than just your hobby: your classes, your job, that cute little café you just found, a new song you like, a new dish you want to try, that weird dream you had last night...

Bullshit.
If someone could only talk to me about knitting or sports I'd react to them the same way I'd react to an obsesed fan of _anything_

The reason this is a secret about fandom is because this community is called FANDOM secrets and not KNITTING secrets.
