I’ll always be grateful that there are people in this world that I can share my silly interests with.
I am usually quiet in conversations, except when there are topics that I know so much that I finally feel confidant enough to contribute new information to the group. After all, if they already know what I know, what use is my input? But this premise is wrong from the start. It took me a long while to figure out that people aren’t really scouring for new knowledge when talking- that’s not the primary goal, at least. And that’s a comforting thing to know.
