Is it normal to feel hurt when people dislike a thing you love?

I'm just curious, because this has happened to me pretty often. I enjoy things very passionately and get very personally, emotionally hurt when people I respect dislike something I love. I understand everyone is different and will not always like the same things, but that hurt is still there when I learn someone respectfully dislikes something I love. I can deal with strangers actively hating something I love, but people whose opinions I respect? For some reason that hurts me very deeply.

    This is what happens when the people of a society have nothing worthwhile to care about.

    Sounds as if you have a poorly formed identity.
