Is it normal that I don’t get excited?

That’s not exactly true. I get excited, I just don’t show it. I have dreams and goals like most people. I enjoy different activities and fantasize about the what ifs in life. However I don’t get all retarded and geek out over the things I love to do. Some people have interpreted this to mean I must not want to do it. Like, for example, yes, I like animals. Do I want to raise them from babies, sure. Do I raise my voice an octave and shake my hands while discussing the potentials of said animals, no. I stay calm and discuss options rationally. Some friends think this means I would be bad at raising animals and because they are bigger dorks about it, they should have the job.

I do not let my fantasy run wild while figuring out how to get things done. And I don’t talk about those things I obsess over. Yes, I can spend hours reading on a topic I find interesting. And there are dozens of books in my library on the subjects I find fascinating. I just don’t talk about it at length to everyone within earshot. Ugh, I have friends who think they are better equipped to do certain tasks because they are bigger dorks about a subject. No! This is not true. I know plenty about this idea, I just don’t get overly excited about it.

I don’t see myself exposing my inner dork just to fit in with the fanatical friends of mine. Maybe I don’t want to share it with people. I can be selfish. It’s my fun.

Is it normal?

    I checked off not normal because in the society we live in its not considered normal.

    I personally don't see anything wrong with it, You don't have to rise to everyone else level of excitement! You see and view things The way that they are and nothing more and that's fine.

    It's something people aren't used to and you have to give them some time to adapt to it. Unless they're the kind of person who only see's things their way and doesn't even want to view it from another angle.

    ....I feel like I can relate on every post today.
    Ofcourse it's normal. I do think it is, at least...

    You will never know if you like sucking cocks until you suck one and swallow the cum.

    I've always been known never to show enthusiasm. Always had this meh attitude. Like I've seen it all and nothing is grand.

    It's the old "heard mentality" that gets us every time.
    If I like something, and everybody else likes it too, then that justifies my liking it, so that's OK.
    But if I like something that others do not appear to like, then perhaps I shouldn't like it either.
    You make people feel uneasy with their choices because you do not show an overwhelming affirmation of them.
    Too fucking bad for them; be yourself.

    Nothing sounds more normal to me. Passion and commitment can't always be measured by the way we act.
