Have you ever wanted to talk about your interests, but you’re afraid of annoying everyone? (kbin.social)

Sometimes I feel anxious talking to people and telling them about my interests in life. Thinking deep down inside my head that most people will be annoyed by what I had to say and just shun me. Especially when it's a jump from one topic to another that has nothing to do with the previous. I was always told to give to a conversation before I take, however, that's social anxiety always kicks in. Does anybody else have similar experiences?

I almost became a meteorologist! 2 years of grad school, but decided to quit before I became the bitterest person on Earth.
