other How do you explain your niche passion to people who don’t get it?

I have always shown strong enthusiasm for gathering typewriters. The vintage typewriters are indeed genuine objects for collection. I find great satisfaction from historic keyboard typing and I love the mechanical keys .

People inquire about my main interest and when I tell them, they usually respond with doubtful expressions and with signs of disapproval. But I belive that it's a way to preserve it apart from being my favourite collection.I now proudly reveal my love for vintage typewriters to everyone.

When explaining my niche passion, I keep it simple and tie it to something relatable—like how it’s my version of their favorite hobby, just with a twist. I focus on what hooks me, like the thrill or calm it brings, and maybe share a quick story to spark their curiosity. If they still don’t get it, I just shrug and say, “It’s my weird thing—makes me happy, and that’s enough!”

Passions are like hidden treasures—some people just need the right lens to see their value! Your love for vintage typewriters isn’t just a collection; it’s a revival of history, craftsmanship, and nostalgia. Each keystroke carries echoes of the past, turning thoughts into tangible imprints. Keep sharing your enthusiasm proudly. After all, the best passions are the ones that spark curiosity in others! Who knows? You might just inspire the next great typewriter collector!

If it's forums or blogging, it can be difficult to explain to people who don't understand. I usually just say blogging is like an online newspaper and forums is like messenger that everyone can see all the time.

For my biking and hiking, it's pretty self-explanatory, but people can't get past the labor of it sometimes. They think it's too hard to do.

I tried to explain buying and selling domains to some of my family, but they think it's silly because they graduated college in the late 80s.
