It isn't all about you.
Are there any topics that are uninteresting when it's something that's of interest to a person you care about? The answer may be yes and that's fine. In that case if you care about that person you are still going to want to encourage and support their pursuit of that interest. Diversity of interest is a healthy thing.
I've found that just about anything is pretty interesting once you peel back the surface and try to understand how it works.
