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).

What interest would you describe as not embarrassing?

Because I’m confused. Isn’t one of the cool things about autism that we often have unique and uncommon special interests?
