What things do you love that your family and friends don't understand?

[BabyJellyShark]

I've recently rediscovered the Pro Wrestling of my childhood. It was huge when I was growing up and I get nostalgic when watching old matches.

Also museums, any museum regardless of subject and delis. I'm always looking for something new to try. I can't walk past a deli or Chinese/Japanese/Turkish etc store.

There are others too but I'll have to think about them.

No judgement because there are plenty of things they love that don't appeal to me but is there anything you love that puzzles your family or friends?

Egypt/Egyptology. Anything with Bettany Hughes or Colleen Darnell. So passionate about their ‘stuff’ that I’m infected by their enthusiasm.

Very early mornings. If I wake at 4.30 I’ll get up. I love sunrise and the quiet when everyone’s asleep. The teenagers are mystified.

Charity shops, DH hates them.

Eurovision! I bloody love it

I get ridiculously excited about spot and blackhead squeezing. Positively salivate when the teen gets one. DO asked if I wanted to squeeze a spot the other day. Couldn't hide my disappointment at how pathetic it was. I get my fix on YouTube videos 🤣

All tv related.
Love Island
Married at First Sight
Strictly

Kpop

Heartbeat

You're all such an interesting bunch and I can relate to several of these. Others I want to explore.

Another of mine. Watching Vegan What I eat in a day/week and food shopping hauls. I'll watch non Vegan grocery hauls too but for some unknown reason I find the vegan ones particularly interesting/soothing. Likewise book hauls especially charity shop book hauls.

Also I love looking around churches and cathedrals. I'm an ardent atheist and I know very little about architecture but I can't resist looking around them and admiring the architecture anyway.

Oh and Health and safety videos and accident reports.

Rummikub - recent acquisition- love it

Beautiful wrapped bars of soap

Lovely handwash

Horses. My family just doesn’t get it.

Museums

My mum thinks they're boring but I love visiting museums

Jesus

I love speaking French and Spanish. Am a teacher but have done some foreign language tour guiding around a UK city in my holidays. Three hours each time speaking a foreign language, paid but not a lot. My friends and family don't understand in the literal sense as they can't understand the languages.

Lego.

True crime. Podcasts and YouTube videos. I find them fascinating

TOWIE
getting up early

Fresh new notebook and brand new pen. New knitting pattern and yarn arriving in post. All about the rock and roll here🤘

Listening to classical music. My husband thinks I'm just trying to be cultured but i find it soothing!

@heidihigh I'm the same, fall asleep listening to crime podcasts!

Lucifer the tv show. They think I've gone mad.

I like to peel them like cheese strings whilst eating them

Science fiction in any form / documentaries about the planet, space, history - nerdy stuff (family all watch sport mainly) \ having dry porridge for breakfast

Family and friends take the mickey because my Facebook is basically all about animals

Formula 1
My Tropical Fish Tank
Mumsnet
Wordscapes

Easy video games. Mario, Animal Crossing, Professor Layton. Not interested in anything harder / violent / designed for adults.

History Podcasts. Dan Snow's History Hit is a bit of me.

The Mail on Saturday big crossword.

Parkrun (I do have friends that understand how much I love it, but I met them at Parkrun so it doesn't count).

Mumsnet. Internet forums in general.

Eating dry pasta; a habit as a kid, don't do it very often anymore but still love crunching a sneaky few pieces of dry fusilli when nobody is around.
