I mean I personally would be pretty annoyed ngl, you’re talking about something you care about. From his perspective however he probably doesn’t realize and didn’t mean it in that way so I’d just have an open conversation with him, your feelings are totally valid

Depending on my mood I could find that either funny or offensive. He probably (hopefully?) meant to be funny, but it’s valid to feel upset because it could definitely be interpreted very negatively. I agree with #1 that you should have an open conversation about the fact that it upset you. If he’s nice, he’ll apologize and won’t do it again.

I’d ask him how he meant it, that’s something I’d say to my friends after I just finished infodumping as a joke (its reciprocal) because that’s the kind of relationship we have, but I don’t know him

This is mean af and means that he doesn’t care to hear about what you’re interested in, and also doesn’t care to put in the effort to actually communicate in a respectful way if he needs a break from conversation

If it was meant as a joke then maybe no?? My bf and I joke back and forth abt our interests, but we try to take into account that “Hey, this person that I really care about is telling me about something they’re really interested in”

We have a lot of similar interests and a lot of dif interests and some we’ve even found together. If he said talking to me abt something I’m passionate abt was like a hostage situation (bad ending) I’d cry. However, if it was meant as a joke (good ending) I’d laugh bc I’m hella intense as a person lmfao
