My personality loves to push boundries and discussing open end topics. But recently I find I’m annoying everyone when I talk. I have passions for the unknown. Odd stuff most people laugh at. Like star signs, witchcraft, religion, ancient text, ancient languages and civilizations, conspiracies, psychoactive substances, near death experiences and astrology. Whenever I talk about these things I give theories and ideas or share unpopular knowledge and get laughed at or teased. Usually I’m not 100 percent saying what I want to say just repeating interesting ideas and realise I’m saying it in a way where it sounds dumb too cos im just saying nonsense to them anyway. I’ve realized I never know how to intelligently teach someone without them straight away denying it and shit. It’s so boring to have all this magical ideas and possibilities and get people shut me down constantly. And it’s my personality too I just tend to enjoy those topics and get stuck in a loop of shutting up and being alone then not taling to anyone about it then when I get super lonely I snap and do and realize why I stopped sharing it to begin with.

Shoot me a dm I can hang with these conversations. Sounds fun.
Sounds like a pretty cool person. A lot of people aren’t as into deeper conversation like they think. It’s hard to find people sometimes but you will!
Those topics you listed are also my absolute favourites to explore and genuinely discuss, BUT i almost never talk anout them anyway especially with newer friends, collegues, etc. I suggest you learn small talk/casual convo instead of diving into deep stuff too soon
There isn’t anything wrong with this irl. I have friends that enjoy this. I don’t personally love it myself. But find it interesting to hear about on occasion. But like any passion and interest there is a time and place. Make sure when you bring it up it’s appropriate and not overshadowing your other friends.
I’d check yourself and see if you are listening and engaging in what’s going on around you. Or if you are simply waiting for a lull in what’s going on so you can interject your comments.
Sometimes silence with those who you love and cherish is golden as well. And if you are always disrupting it, it might be less of the subject and more so the timing and frequency.
Just my two cents.
It could also be the subject depending on the location those can be viewed as taboo to even discuss. If your friends find it uncomfortable, find one’s that don’t or don’t bring something that someone has made clear they don’t appreciate. People are allowed to have boundaries too.
Making fun of you is not OK though. It sounds like they are not doing well at communicating either.
you sound like a very cool person to talk to. The thing is some peopl dont want intensity they just want numbenness and ordinary chatter. Movies media tetx. Brains are lazy and learning is not something everyone actively looks for
I’ve always been interested in all the topics you mentioned! I don’t know why some people can’t even entertain a topic like that without having to immediately criticize or make a judgement. Guess they are just better than us.🤷♀️
I have been big into birding for about 15 years. I now know a lot about them, especially birds that are local to me. But I live in an area that has a great diversity of different species and habitats. You won’t see peoples eyes glaze over any faster then when you start talking about them. LOL. You’d think people would be more interested in the world around them. So I generally only talk about them for short periods. Luckily, there is a good sized birding community online and living around here who are the only ones I can talk to.
I’m right there with you. I always thought everyone wanted to be better than they were and the only way to really get better is to challenge and be challenged. People Don’t want to be challenged they want to be told that they are right. People will argue without considering the context or accountability for their decisions and in turn will call you names like devil’s advocate or simply write you off as the opposition. But what you’re really there is to help them defend their beliefs in a friendly and supportive venue. They’ll never see it that way they’ll only see that you are argumentative or condescending or pedantic when the truth is your just trying to be a good friend. I’ve learned to shut my mouth and let people just be people, even if I see them struggling or making points that don’t make sense, contradictive, or hypocritical.
Unfortunately for me I’m pretty sure I’ve burned those bridges and will always be seen as an asshole to some very good people for trying to help.
Give yourself more credit!
Not everyone is gonna vibe.
Its cheesy but keep being you, you’ll find your tribe!
Are you also interested in what other people have to say?
That sounds like awesome conversation topics. I know it’s not the same as in person, but there are a lot of subs for them.
I’d be interested to hear about some of this. Send me a dm as well if want. It depends on the person and what they are in to and making sure they have a chance to add to the conversation.
just be patient, you will find people who’s into these conversations too..
