So you know how when you like a song or a movie or anything you can think of you sometimes share it with your friends so they can enjoy it as well...I don't do that the reason is that when I find something that I love I keep it to myself like I'm scared that if I share it people will judge it too much and I won't be able to enjoy it like before there is no need for them to like what I do it's just gets me down in a way even when someone shares something with me I say only the good things I like about it..Am I too selfish or my taste is so bad that I protect them from it :D IIN?

    I don't reveal my favorite things to people. I hate it when I show someone something I really like and it suddenly becomes their favorite thing. I just hate people loving my favorite things. Then I turn into a dick and tell them everything I know about it to prove that I am the bigger fan. It's like a hipster mentality for me I guess.

      My friends do that all the time. After a few months they forget that it was in fact me that introduced them to it and start talking about it as if I've never heard of it. Fucking hate it.

    I know EXACTLY what you mean! I have the same thing, I don't think I have bad taste, I just have obscure taste. There's this 1967 arthouse movie from the underground era that I absolutely love, it's called David Holzman's Diary. (my username and profile is based on it) I first saw the film when I was 14 and it begun my love affair with film, it creatively inspired me and filled me with so much thought, wonder and awe.

    I brought it round to a friends place the other night after telling him about it. I had no idea that his new girlfriend and his house-mate would be there. They have modern, mainstream taste. Well they made an absolute mockery of the film and it felt like an assault on me. I got really sensitive about it. This is a film I've treasured for 15 years. It's not that I felt they HAD to like it, everybody is different/with different tastes, but I just wish I hadn't shown them, because it would've kept the movie pure to my own senses. Now I fear the next time I watch it I'll be hearing their criticisms of it in my own head and it will alter my perspective. I wish it wasn't so.

    Sorry about the long comment.

      I wondered where your username came from. Now I know. :)

      I hate sharing things that I love with people only to have them disrespect it. I feel so judged.

        Oh I've totally blown my cover now, haha there goes all my mystery and intrigue...!

        Yeah judged is the right word. I just got really flustered, it was weird. My ears heated up, like I was blushing with my ears. Haha how strange. I should do a IIN post about that.

      Yeah you've said everything that was on my mind! I was thinkig of watching that movie btw people say good things about it ^^ I think I answer my own question when I say that we need to find people who love that thing as much as we do that way no bad things will be said about it,couse you know it's still hard that you can't share your excitement with someone.

    Haha, I'm the opposite of that. I keep sending my friends songs I like, but they don't like my style. I think they don't even listen to the songs anymore.

    i advocate being selfish and for self improvement

    indulgence is key but needs to be met with intelligence

    A healthy ego is a good thing, dont listen to the perpetuating defeat of abstinence and the media, do what you truly want and think outside the box.

    In time, you probably won't care as much about what other people think.

      P.S. Just because people make fun of your taste doesn't necessarily mean they are judging you. Sometimes they are just being playful. Sometimes they just need to acquire a taste for it.

    I do something similar. When I like something, I'm often loath to share movies, photos or media of celebrities, people or fictional characters I am infatuated / in love with simply because I become very possessive of them even though we're not together in the first place.

    I feel that I want to be the only one to admire them / their beauty and I become very jealous of prying eyes.

    It's like "mine!". :D

    Haha, I think it's cool you're aware of your own bad taste. :)

    You're not selfish, a lot of people are just like you.
