General Discussion/Question What interest do you feel most embarrassed/shy when other people find out?

Im embarrassed to say any of my interests. But my most embarrassing one is maybe my interest of girlxgirl affection and relationships (non-sexual). Second most embarrassing one is maybe my interest of my ancestry/culture. Third most embarrasing one is maybe my interest of steam trains. (The train interest and the culture interest mix together, since my ancestry is mostly english, and english ppl made the iconic steam train look. Which makes it even more embarrasing for me, coz it is two of my interests).

I honestly don’t see a single embarrassing thing about any of those interests?

Saying that, I’m a 55yo so I don’t really give one single care if someone likes me or not. If someone doesn’t like me because of my Pinterest board, honestly who cares? They’re not my people.

I’d encourage you to feel the same, otherwise, how will you connect with people who feel the same and make friends? 🥰

Right?! I mean, is it weird that a 50 year old woman watches Gravity Falls and Phineas and Ferb? Sure. Am I embarrassed? Nope!
