I really get this, and I’m almost the mirror image or opposite in some ways! I totally respect people’s intensity of interest (I get very into things myself). But sometimes when someone excitedly tries to introduce me to something that I’m not into yet, I get intimidated and anxious because I feel like I can’t match their energy or like it the “right” way.

I totally understand, I tried to share some of the shows and books I enjoy with some of my friends recently and they did not take it seriously and were kind of mean about it. Experiences like that have made me really nervous to share my interests with people, so I feel like I come across as more closed off than I’d like to.
