Do you feel safe liking things many people dislike? (read OP please)

[Sana Muñequita Linda]

For example books, bands, films...

 

I mean, hating not because they include stuff like transphobia, male chauvinism, racism.... (Which are to be condemned for) But because fans have become disappointed in it, other people dislike it, etc. For some reason I take those visions too personally and I end up believing that I'm wrong or need to be fixed because I like the things I like.

 

Funnily enough I happen to like plenty of problematic films, music... and recognize their problems at the same time.

 

Does it happen to you? What do you do to overcome this false threat to your safety? Discuss!

[!~Aishak~!]

When I like a thing .., I don't give a damn about other ppl ...They won't bring happiness anyway like the thing I like~

[SNSTD]

Most of the times I don't care about what others think

[Mischo]

Maybe it's low self confidence?

 

I don't really care if many peoole dislike what I like or who I am as a person, my opinion is still the most important for me

I don't feel safe liking what is disliked so I keep it as secret. I don't like when people judge by things I like and you know...this feeling that you should be ashamed because you like something...well it feels awful.

I don't care if people like or dislike something. I form my own opinions.

[tevnn]

hmm well most of the things that i like are often hated upon by many but it's MY opinion/preference and what they do isn't gonna change my opinion/beliefs 

[Miyeon]

On the Internet nope IDC I flaunt it in people's face

But irl I don't tell people unless you're rlly close to me

[Cheesus]

If I liked something others strongly disliked in the internet, I would just keep it to myself

[DOOLY]

Yes tbh, idgaf about what other people think. I am free to like whatever i want.

[Starlight]

Yes, if I like somehing then I like it and if I dislike somehing then I dislike it. I probably wouldn't bring it up in conversation with people who I know dislike it, but if they brought it up then I'd give my opinions honestly.

[imideal( ͡°ᴥ ͡° ʋ)]

i havent told many real life friends about my kpop interest because they think its weird and judge people who do

[Rapmon's Ahjussi Husband]

Unless it's nothing like stealing or something illegal I think you shouldn't care what other people say about it, Taoism ( wich I like) says you should follow your path and not disturb others

[xiaodery]

I get influenced by their opinions, like if they give logical reasons why that whatever it is sucks, i slowly start to dislike it too

 

I don't think that there's anything wrong with my opinion though

 

But if I really really like something I don't get influenced

I feel SO related to that. I end up disliking things because negative opinions, etc and take them as gospel

[MySeaYeon]

people disliked BOF ...i actually liked it a lot except for KHJ acting.

People loved " Who you came from the stars" so i obliged myself to watched but i gave up at ep 7 i think ....

[PoshLuxe]

I don't care that people don't like what I like. I'm different anyway.

It makes me feel like I don't have much self-confidence tbh (which is kinda true)
