I don't mean to but I lost one of my best friends partially this way :(

It's hard to control sometimes

If I ever find someone who cares about communism/Unix/Plan 9/computer architecture (I see all these as deeply interconnected) as much as I do our power will be unstoppable

Edit: Thanks everyone for your replies and for sharing your experiences, it means a lot to me. I want to reply to everyone I just don't know what to say lol

    I learned to not show my emotions to anyone because they were all too intense, and I internalized the notion that me, specifically, having emotions was always wrong

    Still trying to unlearn this shit

      I'm sorry that happened <3

      I know this stuff is often overwhelming to people but I guess we just have to find a balance between dumping it on everyone we know and completely suppressing our passions

      It's fucking hard

      I've learned this same lesson and having been trying to get over it for over a decade. I feel you comrade meow-hug

      I think I still sometimes come across as a very bland and dispassionate person to people, but it is getting better.
