As someone who is extremely lacking in social skill and time to make friends, I’m kind of curious how everyone does it. More specifically, for when you make friends, how do you go about introducing them to your hobbies? What kind of cautions or timelines do you set up to connect on these hobbyist levels without straining yourself or your new friends? What’s your story?

I can’t really say much about how I made my friends. We just met one day, got along well, and it’s been like that since. Some friends are closer, some less, some friendships go apart while others last… There’s really no standardized way of how this works.
I don’t think I’ve specifically introduced any of my friends to my hobbies, they just kinda found out by themselves over time. While none of them have an interest in Bionicle (or Lego in general, except one), they’re not judgemental about it, since most of them also have similarily niche interests.
Generally speaking, don’t force your interests on the other person. Depending on the person, some of them will enjoy hearing about it, while others may not. Let them share things about their hobbies too. Wanting to talk about your interests is perfectly normal and fine, just don’t be too weird about it. And even if it may not be your hobby, there’ll often still be a topic that interests both of you!

I just exist wherever I’d be normally. Either interesting people draw my attention or people gravitate to me incidently. Either way, I’d rather be alone than have bad friends.
