For me: I am one of the foremost experts on Team Fortress 2 video recording/editing and automated clip gathering within tf2 specifically. Even more specifically within the context of competitive play but the knowledge applies to casual play as well.

I know a lot of things but none of them are relevant or impressive to anyone.
I mostly just get pushback when I try to talk about them, like I work in IT security, but apparently since I don’t work for the CIA I ‘must not be very good at it’.
I also work in IT security but rarely reveal it to people. There are so many misconceptions about what the job entails, it usually derails the conversation and I spend the next 20 minutes insisting my job is incredibly boring, tedious, and nothing at all like the movies.
I usually just tell people I do “customer service”. It’s true enough.
This is your stage to brag about your skills no matter how non-relevant they are :D
I have a PhD in philosophy.
People make horrible assumptions about it though, so I don’t ever bring it up.
I’ve only minored in philosophy, but last weekend I watched Waiting for Godot for the first time with my mother and as soon as the intermission came she turned and asked, “Jaycifer you’ve studied philosophy, what insights do you have so far?” I definitely feel that it carries an expectation that I think deeply about everything.
What kind of assumptions do you deal with? Do you mind if I ask what area you focused on?
