does anyone else have interests that you feel ashamed for or embarrassed about because other people treat them as childish or silly? im really interested in sharks, fortnite, and overwatch, but im often laughed at for these interests because people either think im joking when i say I like them or they think its silly :[

honestly, the ability to enjoy media you like without the social stigma of of maturity or immaturity is a sign of emotional maturity, if that makes any sense haha. don't restrict yourself from what you like, it never ends well. /gen

yep, my interests are very childish and i get really embarrassed to actually tell people about myself. i like sharks just like u and cats a little too much for people's comfort. i also collect squishmallows and fill my bed with them which really embarrasses me but i love them and i find comfort in them so i keep them there. also my favorite things to watch are typically cartoons/animes or animated films and people often find that childish so i keep it to myself ( :
