I hate to say it, but I'm actually quite a sensitive person and the feelings of others affect me pretty badly. I suppose that's my problem though because I am not exactly the most mentally secure person in the world, but at least I'm perfectly capable of admitting that. When I was in high school, I used to sit with this group of kids during lunchtime. They seemed like my kind of crowd, they liked anime (even though I'm not a big fan of it personally) and they seemed open minded. Unfortunately, they kept talking about how much they hate Twilight. Personally I don't care for it either, but I really don't think it's as bad as many people make it out to be. Hell they only actually read a few pages of it before declaring they hated it, which isn't totally fair.
They have opinions and I'm okay with that. But it gets annoying when I have to hear it constantly. I'd imagine people would get irritated with me endlessly praising something as well. Usually when I come across things I don't like (because hate is far too strong a feeling towards any from of entertainment), I just don't bother with it. It's a lot easier because I can't change those things, so I might as well leave them be and leave those who love it alone. That's why I quit hanging out with them, and it wasn't just because of that. I just didn't find them to be interesting people. I'm surrounded by negativity constantly by my dysfunctional family, so I'd rather not deal with people who get angry over these trivial things.
I'm just wondering if this is normal. I've always been the odd one out in my life, so maybe I'm the abnormal one.
