I’m afraid that I speak condescendingly to people when I ramble about topics that interest me. How do you talk about your passions but avoid sounding like a professor?

Be genuinely joyful and if they add new information celebrate it. If they mention something you already know then you have a bridge of connection to discuss it

Don’t act like every bit of information is new, especially if you are speaking to someone in the field. A fun fact or two is fine, and ask if they are interested in learning/ hearing more. Not everyone will be.
