I hate when people try to put me down for being passionate...

Believe it or not you can be extremely passionate about something and still be extremely sociable.

That's your standard politician BTW type of politics doesn't matter.

Just don't expect everyone to share your passions however. That's what they are criticizing.

Believe or not I am passionate about many things. Just most things people don't agree with what I am passionate about.

You and myself criticize Donald Trump all the time. That doesn't make him less passionate. And therefore less likeable. He does have his MAGA followers. And they are fanatically passionate about Trump.

I suspect it's when you approach fanaticism that people are complaining about. When there's nothing else but one passion.

They want others to be more diverse in their passions.

Look at the number of collections I have on my profile. No one is complaining about me being fanatical. There just too many topics to even fit on the profile bar. You must expand the collection list just to see all the collections.

So you like politics. Well politics covers hundreds of topics. Expand into those topics. Even Becky does it occasionally.
