I'm a semi-secretive LARPer. I pack my stuff at night, don't talk to my coworkers about it, and just go about my life as if I don't.
I've found people are pretty judgy about it, so I just don't mention that I enjoy getting into a neat costume, playing some little mini-games, having a drink or six, camping, and (most importantly) seeing my friends once a month in a structured activity.
It's fun stuff if you find the right group. That last part is hard.
Honestly, I don't know why people rip on other people's hobbies just because it's something they wouldn't do. As if their opinion has any bearing on other people's happiness. I'm glad you've found something that makes you happy and gets you out of the house.
Seriously, you'd think people could just be happy for someone's happiness, instead of being miserable. I'm over those feelings. You don't have to like the same stuff to get along.
Primary motto: Do your best not to hurt anyone, but otherwise do what you want. Enjoy life while you have it.
Secondary motto: Enjoy seeing other people's happiness. Sometimes giving up something (small) you want for someone else to have something they really want (or even need) feels even better.
Have fun, and do good. Thanks for your kind words ๐
