People just want to enjoy their thing, not be infodumped at by an encyclopedia. It's fine to read everything about the hobby but try using that to understand what interests them about the subject and relate that way.
I've gotten a lot better about it over the years, but this is good advice for anyone still in the situation.
Yeah I think it's something a lot of us do.
Masking is definitely a skill that can be developed. I don't even think of it as a negative thing really, it's just knowing your audience and trying to relate on a similar level.
Until your entire personality is just masking.
Took me a while to unlearn that one.
I guess I find it interesting that if people truly enjoy their thing, wouldn't they want to know/hear more and not be turned off by a person who might know more?
