Don’t dunk on people for liking things and let everyone enjoy… but I refuse to keep quiet about things I don’t like. The best talks with friends are about movies/games/shows they liked and that I didn’t like. What did they like about it? Why have we both seen the same thing and taken away something completely different? Maybe I’ll go back and watch it again. Maybe we’ll laugh about it.
There is a non-toxic way to talk about what you don’t like…if you can’t be non-toxic then keep your mouth shut. If you’re the sort to get personally offended when someone says they didn’t enjoy a show you liked, then there’s something wrong with you.
Normalise talking about opinions without causing or taking offence. Accept that everyone is entitled to their opinion and the opinions in people’s heads cannot hurt you.
Absolutely right!
