Your comment resonates with me, I find I also have no desire to share my special interests with anyone. For me I think it is because they are my special interests, and I feel that nobody else could possibly be interested in that, so why even bring it up?

That is, until somebody else brings it up. Like "hey man do you know anything about mechanical keyboards?" Then prepare your body, I will not stop talking to you about that for the next two weeks.
