As someone w silly and weird and boring interests... If the things that interest you are interesting to NO ONE... you might have (subconsciously or otherwise) picked something intentionally to avoid human contact.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoHell, tech is boring to other people. How many of us are just in the position where our sole tech hobby happened to be lucrative on the job market, so now we've just doubled down on our boring antisocial single-dimensionality? Took me quite a while to cultivate interests outside of tech, and pretty much all of them move me closer to other people where tech did not.

But these kinds of social circles are inherently more difficult to identify and break into. It’s a hell of a lot easier to find the group headed to a nightclub.
