My family never did that. Pretty much everyone who isn’t my family has done that shit. Which is why I don’t talk to anyone or give out details about myself.

My mum (who tbh is honestly otherwise really kind and understanding) once made fun of me being into “video game music” to some of her friends.

I’m only just now getting back into listening to music and trying to figure out what I like, rather than avoiding listening to new music at all.

I couldn’t hide it, gaming was a very hard special interest and hyperfixation, I literally grew up in a console gaming golden age too (early-to-mid 90’s kid so 4th and 5th generation consoles, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Sony Playstation, Nintendo 64, arcade transitioning to 3D as a standard, etc.) so there was no escaping it from anyone

And yes I got made fun of, mostly by classmates but I got some family teasing too
