Is your enjoyment of a particular interest (ie. movies, anime, hobbies, or food)
motivated because a majority of people
like the same thing?
I think when there are people that agree with my likes and what not, it sort of
helps me appreciate that something is well received among others. For some
reason though, it makes me uncomfortable when it seems like I am the only one
who likes it: Such as me enjoying a movie everybody seems to dislike, eating a
food considered "disgusting" by others or listening to Kenny G. These
things aren't liked by most people, and it seems to kind of question my own
tastes in a few things, such as if I am watching this movie wrong, or am I
listening to the right notes?
To answer your first question. For me, it realy depends on what that thing is.
If its a movie type, then yes. If its a drug type, then hell no. If its anime?
Well, theres a yes / no answer.
I mean. Just becuase you like one thing and the rest disagrees with you doesnt
mean anything bad. Its just who you are and thats what matters. (if this
confused you im sorry. cause i think this confused me myself)
I feel your pain about anime. I realy like anime and not that many people around
me likes anime. So, I'm a loner in anime. Until I met a really great friend who
told me to join this site cuase this is were she goes to. I'm glad I met her and
that I met this site. Cause now im not a loner of anime, or, at least for the
net kind.
I do understand you. I had the same feeling a couple of times before and it just
kills me when I had that feeling.
No, my interest are not motivated by the majority.

There is no such thing as the "right" movie or "right"
notes. It matters not what other people think, as long as you yourself like
it.

I'm not sure if any of you experienced this.
