Do the people you find interesting, find you interesting?

The things that consume most of my thought process deeply, either due to career activities (technology), or personal passions (musician) are things that most don't find interesting at the granular level (unless that person also has a passion for those things) But being a passionate person, I've learned to channel this into more universal interests (dance, food, art, causes, activities, society), or the passions of others. My issue has been common interests in the past, so I've learned to force myself to find interests in others, as long as I personally can find a way to connect to it in some sort of meaningful spiritual way. I find passion in understanding people's differences from my viewpoint or perspective. That being said, I'll never be a true conformist. For instance, you'll never find me golfing with colleagues.
