This made me lol and I relate to it so much. I also reeeeeally struggle when friends don’t like something I like — I think it’s (at least partially) bc I think that them not liking it = them thinking it’s bad = them thinking I’m dumb for liking a bad thing? It also contributes to my primary “can’t get over it no matter how hard I try” self-belief that isn’t even true, which is “no one understands me.” Like if I can see the greatness or entertainment value in this thing and they can’t, then they don’t really get me or something. Idk typing it out now it’s all so dramatic lol. But I agree that I want to change this and let people like or not like whatever they want without taking it so weirdly personally!!!! Like their opinions are not some secret coded judgment of me lol they’re just their opinions, IM NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER!! anyway thanks for this and I’m so so with you on the journey 🫡
I get you <3 I meant to fucking comment on this but I was probably still crying (??? who knows it's all been a blur ???) but you know I'm gonna stare at that wall w you and run the same subject over and over again w you
