This is the craziest rhetoric I’ve ever heard. People love hearing interests from a fanatics perspective. If you have an almost unhealthy interest in something, test the waters. See how much the recipient is interested in hearing you talk about this, and if they are, go all out. I’ve learned so many interesting and niche things I never would have by engaging with people with hyper fixated interests.
Whenever I meet someone who’s hyperfixated on something as much as I am hyperfixated on my things, I’m really excited to listen to what they have to say because if someone can be that obsessed with it then it must be interesting in some way (that I just hadn’t noticed).

You’re right in that it depends on the listener
This is the real response.
