    So they dropped 2 fun facts that can be interesting stories.

    When I think of someone telling me about their special interests I think of someone telling me about their Roblox loot for 20 minutes straight.

      Yeah good point. People who over share rarely have this many interesting topics. I can only bear so much of someone going into great details every day about a game or some fantasy setting I haven’t and probably will never experience myself. Geeking about stuff is fine but a lot of people aren’t great at summarizing to laymans.

        I am sure I have bored the shit out of a few people like you (yay ADHD /s).

        Far better to say too little than too much and embarrass myself and watch others slowly back away lol

        Fact is most people are interested in things I find boring and vice versa. I guess that’s why most conversations are so superficial.

        The trick is to use layman’s terms and try to get the person you are talking to to follow along and get interested only to reveal In nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hеll in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table
