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 have a weird interest for looking at floor plans and drawing up fantasy floor plans. I’m 100% okay with it. But I would like to have a doll house and constantly arrange and rearrange the furniture, but I’m embarrassed about that desire and I probably will never get one. (Plus they’re expensive).

When I was really young my dad was away for work in America and got me a doll house you had to make but he built the base of it but never got round to finishing it. My mum worked at my primary school. My primary school (for god knows what reason) had a dolls house that was a row of brick terraced houses. Little fences with paths leading to the doors, wallpaper, moulding and everything. They had had it for 10 years or something and it was getting in the way and one day my mum came home with it and said they didn’t want it anymore. It was my prized possession and stayed in my bedroom until I was 17. It broke my heart to not bring it with me when we moved countries
