Someone else liking something doesn't automatically mean it's good.

Someone else disliking something doesn't automatically mean it's bad.

Trusting someone else's opinion over your own is not an ideal way of making decisions on things that are about personal preferences.

Letting someone else make or determine decisions about what you should and shouldn't like is an indication of a lack of sense of self.

Do you ... not what someone else tells you is you.

On a related note ...

Someone else liking something shouldn't automatically trigger you just because you dislike it.

Someone else disliking something shouldn't automatically trigger you just because you like it.

Your likes and dislikes are your business. Your subjective opinions are not objective truths.

Mind your own business.
Don't yuck people's yum.

If other people's opinions on media trigger you into rage and anger, you need peace and therapy and much less media engagement.

I like a lot of stuff ... for my own reasons. Most people don't like the stuff I like for their own reasons.

Just because I like something or think it's epic or think it's worth your time, doesn't mean it is or that you will agree.

My opinion is just that ... AN OPINION ... from a person you don't know well at all or from a stranger.

If you trust my opinions based on my knowledge of media and my background in media that's a fine start but it's no guarantee of anything.

We are different.

Reviews or opinions of media are based solely on the people who are giving them and their focus, life experience, bias, and mental and emotional proclivities.

Those things have absolutely NOTHING to do with who you are or what you like or why ... so listening to them really is pointless unless you just REALLY like that person or something.

Do you.

Make your own decisions.

Who cares what other people think about something? You're not them. You're you.

Aren't you?

@KarenSohne 👍🏾 ❤️ 👍🏾 I like people who are THEMSELVES ❤️ I prefer that ❤️ Be your epic self ❤️

@thewebrecluse Actually l'm not much of an epic, more of a random stack of papers with a random haiku scribbled in there, but yes! Let's each ( and all) be our wonderful random selves!

@KarenSohne epic, in the way I use it, means something or someone that I elevate above mundane ... You are absolutely epic in my opinion for whatever that is worth ❤️

@thewebrecluse Your opinion is worth a lot, because l know it is based on your wide and deep understanding and curiosity. My thanks
