I only feel comfortable talking about my interests with my sister, she responds in a way that lets me know she is invested and I respond the same way when she talks about her interests. I don't feel attacked when she makes jokes about what I like even though I do with my friends.
I shouldn't expect my friends to care about my interests when I don't care about theirs in the slightest. Don't see why they would want to care about Ao Oni or Hunter X Hunter or some niche manga about prostitutes on the run.
My sister and I take turns showing each other our Twitter/TikTok reposts and we both actively engage in it instead of one of us showing the other and them just nodding. I really do care about what she likes, I have a whole section of my notes dedicated to our headcanons of characters from her favourite things- I give them nicknames and I draw them in my spare time.
This morning on the bus I showed her a really stupid Ao Oni video and she's started to quote it all the time and she references him a lot now, even though she knows nothing about the game. She likes Fuwatty. Sometimes she steals my phone and makes me repost stuff that I want to repost, but was otherwise scared to.
I really crave sugar right now, I tried using the schools vending machine- I find it really weird that we even have one, its such an American thing for an Aussie school to have- but it just rejected my card.
