I Am A Delight

Old queer trans woman from Norway. Mainly post in English. I write stuff sometimes. Expect bad jokes. Girls and cats are nice.


I always find it a little fascinating when listening to someone talk enthusiastically about a game they like, and why they like it, and my reaction is just "huh, that doesn't sound appealing at all".

Not just in the sense of "different people like different things", but specifically that the points they're talking so lovingly about just sound like negatives to me. I guess it's nice that you like it, but I really don't get it.

idk, when I absolutely can't share in someone's joy of a thing, it makes me wonder if that's because there's something wrong with me.

Is it naive of me to expect that someone explaining what they love should make me more interested, instead of less?

yeah, i get that too. i try to take it as a sign that they're smart enough to frame things with such specificity that they can really love it but i can't stand it. but i still get that feeling that i'm failing them as a colleague or a friend, since i can't relate to their passions.
