I hate how I immediately stop being able to like something once I find out that someone whose opinion I respect doesn’t like it. I keep deferring to other people’s judgement and it’s not even a conscious thing. I can still say I like it, and back it up, but the careless enjoyment is suddenly gone. They just need to go “meh” and then I’m just like “MEH? why do they think this is meh?? I thought it was awesome oh god I’m an uncultured swine maybe there’s something wrong with me this thing is actually awful and I am awful for liking it I’m so sorry everyone”
I have this problem, too. I’ve been working hard on allowing myself to have likes and opinions of my own. :x
