If this happened to you you should probably stay away from those people and find your self a better match. Ofcourse I might be overshooting because I don't have enough context.
If you get told to shut up enough times you get the "Are you shy? Why do you never talk about yourself or what you like?" achievement.
I think it's that someone unknown is interesting to people because you could be anything, but as soon as you start talking about arch linux you've shown your hand and it's not intriguing anymore.
Fuck this was my childhood right there
Same, though being exited or enthusiastic about anything was permanently killed off back then.
Same. I hope you made it past those toxic fucks and found happiness. Consider yourself hugged.
Thanks dude x
Same. Also my first long term relationship (which was awful in many other ways)
Gotta work on not letting other people's negativity infect you. Someone who says mean things like that to you is only airing their own demons
When people tell you who they are, listen. And as needed, toss them aside.
Being the youngest in a big family, this happened to me constantly. I have now become a recluse and feel bad about myself when I have almost any social interaction where I get excited about something.
Yeah, feels better not to bother friends, in-case they will get annoyed and bored too.
Don't forget being called "obsessed"
"Fuck you, let people enjoy things"
Unless they derive their joy from belittling others.
Had this happen so much I just started doing it to myself unconsciously lol
Replace that with rage. Telling someone to go fuck themselves is always an option, and sometimes appropriate
I don't need anyone to tell me that to feel that way. I just do that on my own.
I mean, possibly because someone did it to you enough growing up?
Not everyone is always going to always be interested in everything you have to say, but when someone responds to that feeling by calling you annoying or telling you to shut up?
That is no longer your problem - that is THEIRS. That's an inappropriate, childish response to someone's enthusiasm, and frankly, you deserve better friends than that.
Learned early on to keep go at it alone for this reason.
It also made sure that I look down at those people now with contempt.
Finding good friends is hard, but well worth it. Big hugs, and don't give up on your excitement or dreams just because of some jerk!
