Do you ever feel like you force yourself to like things?
Let me elaborate.
You could compare it to cliques or trends. It's kinda like the "hot thing on the rack" and because everyone else likes it, you go w/ it and try to like it too. Its not that you dont like it, you just dont think its as cool as everyone else makes it out to be. However, despite this realization, you keep trying to appreciate it as much as everyone else does, and are kinda failing.
The "what" in this equation is irrelevant.
I guess my question would be, why the attempt to like this "thing" so much? I dont think its really an attempt at "conforming" or "assimilation" - and if it is, well thats stupid, cause why not be "unique" and fuck everyone else if they cant like you for the way you are, or the opinions you have. the second issue becomes, what is it you are trying to get out of liking it? do you get something in return..?
ideas?
if i make no sense and you care to know what this is about, ask me personally, i guess nvm otherwise. but i would like to hear what u have to say, if u have something.
