What do you say when people find out about your interest in ghosts, UFOs, whatever and make fun of you? I had to deal with a lot of this over the holidays, as my family is full of jerks. All I could do is say something like, "Well it's just a hobby..." It was embarrassing, for them and me. What should I have said?

I've found myself in somewhat a similar boat in the past, and it's not just with the paranormal, people often find themselves in the same with politics, religious beliefs, and so forth. I want to say something like "you should've stood your ground!" but we're talking about family, and sometimes it's better to just surrender to things like "it's just a hobby," rather than risking ruining the holiday.

Stand your ground, nobody will take you seriously unless you can educate them on why they are wrong and give proof. It's all out there it's just people don't listen or don't want to hear it.
