Can relate, when I start infodumping or talking in depth about stuff I enjoy I can see their eyes glaze over and they want to leave.

Being kicked out of my family > Barely avoiding homelessness for 3 years now > helping a friend out when their family passed > managing to stay employed > getting my gf away from her abusive parents through a skilled mission of infiltration and gaslighting towards the abusers (used their own tricks against them). Now I’m just trying to scrape out of homelessness again as the housing market where I live is just godawful terrible. I’m 21 goddammit, I didn’t expect to be thrown into new game + right off the bat. I still wanna go to college so I’m at least proud I kept my ambitions.
