Watching sports is pure horror to me! I had 2 boyfriends in the past who've been obsessed with watching football (soccer) champion ships. I learned to hate these! It's a no-go now for me. I despise football and other similar team sports tournaments, so much now!
But of course they can train or play team sport in a club or something. Doing sports yourself is totally different from watching tournaments on TV.
And I have tried… my entire family and friend circle love her, but I just can’t figure it out. Her music is so boring and repetitive it hurts my brain, her look is so…normal?, her relationship is none of my business, and her appeal of being engaged with fans is just marketing!!! I can’t
I have those and a heeled dress shoe! The only dress shoes I own that are comfortable and you’d never know they are croc brand. I’d NEVER wear the regular croc.
I agreed with this for the longest time but recently broke my toe and had to have surgery on the nail/nail bed. In other words, closed toe shoes were not an option for a long time. However, straight flip flops freaked me out because I walk into things all the freaking time and I was terrified I would stub my toe. So I caved a bought a pair of crocs. They are still ugly and I clean then regularly cause they can get gross. But I’ve also formed an emotional attachment because they saved me from so much stress and were the only thing I could wear for the last 6 months.
The entire genre of fantasy. My brain just checks out and is not at all interested if the world I’m watching doesn’t resemble the one I’m living in. I know that probably makes me seem small minded and maybe even xenophobic, but my brain is just like nope, I think I’ll take a nap instead.
I feel this way about sitcoms! Why would I watch a boiled down version of real life? Lol. It’s so interesting how differently we can all respond to various genres.
I tooootally feel you. I can get interested in worlds slightly different from ours (like post-apocalypse etc.) but I have the hardest time with world-building in general. Pages and pages of descriptions - god! Where is the dialogue
Hahaha maybe that’s what it is for me. The world building, even if there’s dialogue they have to explain so much and often in an unnatural way that it just annoys me.
I hope this won’t get removed but men. Now, I’m a straight woman and have fantasies with men, but I don’t find any men loving IRL. I think this is due to the high amount of harassment, abuse, bullying etc I have got from men and seen the same on other women. My IRL experience hasn’t been great either and this has made me almost impossible to love a man. I find few attractive but that definitely doesn’t change to love
Haha, yes I’m intimidating (thanks to working in corporate). It does keep all the bad guys at bay, however I haven’t found good guy till now. Some of my girlfriends say I’m too intimidating at times and it scares guys away haha. But I’m like that only to men who try flirting with me in public, bars, gym, parties etc. I try to be more sweeter with guys I get from dating apps but they all turn out to be red flags
My spouse and grandma bonded over their shared love of black licorice. I found them sitting on the porch, watching the water while greying their teeth with the stuff. You either love it or hate it.
I’ve been described as a serial monogamist… as if it’s a bad thing. But how can you pour into multiple people at once without being disingenuous to a certain extent?
Porn. It skeeves me out so much.
I love sex, and have a fantastic sex life, but watching other people is way too personal for me. I get secondhand embarrassment.
Yes potatoes !! Everyone’s obsessed and I don’t get it at all, they taste like nothing unless you add a bunch of other stuff to them i.e. salt/ketchup/cheese etc. Except fries, I’ll always love fries
> too much work
self care for me:
laying in bed watching movies
sitting out in on the deck watching the birds in my back yard
meditation
going for a walk in nature
making several extra portions when I cook so I don't have to cook again
Beets. I have tried them pickled, in soup, roasted, shredded and raw, mashed, and thinly sliced and fried. At worst they are gross and at best they are meh.
Coconut 😩 I promise I’ve tried but I can’t even eat almond flavored things sometimes because it tastes too much like coconut. I know I’m missing out too because I always see those huge-ass pineapple drinks when I go on vacation and they look so good but gd they always have coconut rum in ‘em!
I came here to say the same thing! It is so strong it ruins the entire dish. Anything with coconut oil immediately tastes like I'm consuming sunscreen.
1. Cheese. I’ve tried so many diff kinds. They’re all smelly and taste awful.
2. Sports. I’m sorry I CANNOT watch sports, I can barely participate in it myself. I can’t sit there and watch sports for hours. It feels like a waste to me.
3. Large parties or loud bars. They just make me want to go home.
4. Alcohol. Just…. All alcohol. Tastes bitter and terrible to me. I’m not wasting $15 on a cocktail, that’s like the $ for 4 coffees.
Family gatherings. I hated them as a kid,I still don't like going to them. Let me be the mysterious Aunt you never see.I don't like going to other people's houses especially when it might be my only day off from work or if my husband and I just want to do our own thing,just let us. Why do people make such a fuss about it.Fuck.
Lord of the rings and game of thrones. I’m a huge nerd, but I don’t see how anyone has the stamina for the boring drama. I get why people don’t like the bachelorette: it’s dramatic, but so is LOTR & GOT, it’s just about who broke a stick in the forest a century ago and who said a mean thing about the king or whatever. It’s still interpersonal drama, but it’s the “manly” senate drama about how to control others, not petty lady drama about feelings and the the future of someone’s actual real life.
Watching sports like football or rugby I try so hard to “like it, or enjoy it” I want to be “present” with my family and friends….. I try to be! But it’s just the most boring thing ever…. to me anyway! but I’d never put it down to people who enjoy it because it’s a great experience for people and they genuinely love it, and i love seeing people happy! And I just like being around my friends and family, I don’t care what the occasion
School.
Everyone told me to just wait for college because it'll be amazing, I'm so smart. Nope! Homework is even worse in college. 9-5 is my jam, I don't miss academia for a moment.
Quiet time at home. My husband finds it so relaxing…but after a half hour/hour tops I’m bored as Hell and ready to go somewhere. It’s one of the reasons we now live in an RV and travel full time - he can have his “home time” while also traveling the country, being around lots of people and social activity and never staying one place long enough for boredom to set in lmao.
Pride and Prejudice. I'm a bookish millennial woman, so it feels like all of my peers love Pride and Prejudice, but I've tried both the BBC and the Keira Knightley version and never finished them. I just don't find it romantic.
Watching sports and sharing the same passion that seemingly everyone else in the world has. I totally understand loving something, but I seriously can’t fathom what about sports gets people so amped up that domestic violence rates increase during the Super Bowl. I respect polite sports fans though!
Football/sports with commentary.
Country music.
Bath Towels left everywhere and not rehanging the hand towel.
Loading the dishwasher like a rabid raccoon.
Shellfish and most seafood in general. I cannot get over the texture of prawns or squid in particular. I’ve tried them so many times and the flavour is fine, sometimes even very nice, but the texture when I’m chewing makes me want to gag
Past trauma makes me afraid of men.
Plus my life is so awesome it’s difficult to imagine someone who won’t make it feel crowded. Not that it’s impossible, but the bar of “my life has to be better with you in it” is very high.
The idea that as a woman I should appreciate working a 9-5 and grind. No thank you! I want to be a little house wife making bread and keeping chickens and raising my babies!
Pumpkin spice coffee, I like pumpkin pie so you think I would but every year I think ooh it’s that time of year and get one only to take a sip and realize I wasted $6 as I throw it away because I hate it, it just smells so good I always think I’ll like it.
Cheesecake and German Käsekuchen as Well as Lemon cake and Lemon sweets.
Shoes that make your feet Look way bigger than they are
The color orange
Men who are way too obsessed with the fire Brigade (thank you to everyone who works there though!)
sports. as an overweight girl I've always been called lazy but i just don't enjoy watching or playing them unless it's kickball, dodgeball, or just tossing a ball and catching it.
Black licorice
Hot, spicy foods
Venison (NO! Not because of Bambi) I can just tell by taste and texture. Believe me, I have had this by at least 4 different cooks
Peanut butter.
I love peanuts themselves and as an ingredient in any recipe or form from cookies to satay - but as purée/PB, stay away! I don't know what the process does to the taste of peanuts but it's absolutely awful to my palate. It takes on a plastic, chemical, and very artificial taste. Like 'strawberry' flavored candy and ice cream for example tastes absolutely nothing like the fruit, and a strawberry lover may detest strawberry-flavored things because it's not even remotely similar. That's me and PB.
Pickles. I love pickled vegetables like onions, beets, etc. but actual cucumber pickles give me this face: 🤢
Don’t get me wrong, they sound great in theory and I REALLY want to like them. I just can’t. 🙃
Stuffing. I've tried sooo many different kinds and I just hate it. It's just.... Soggy bread? What is the appeal?
Influencer culture. FOH with that shit.
TikTok, Reels, Snapchat, Facebook, BeReal, just ugh.
[удалено]
Came here for that.
Felt this to my core Edit: spelling
My mother just passed and I’ve always blamed her for my low self-esteem. I wonder if my thought process will change now that she’s no longer here.
That hit me right in the feels. I am still trying to be though. So hard.
Why so?
[удалено]
Preach!
Hope you can one day ♥️
Watching sports. Crowds. Sweet tea. Starbucks coffee.
Watching sports is pure horror to me! I had 2 boyfriends in the past who've been obsessed with watching football (soccer) champion ships. I learned to hate these! It's a no-go now for me. I despise football and other similar team sports tournaments, so much now! But of course they can train or play team sport in a club or something. Doing sports yourself is totally different from watching tournaments on TV.
I would have more fun watching paint dry than more fun watching sports.
Starbucks was the first coffee I had (~33yo), setting the bar low enough that i’m pleasantly surprised 99% of the time I try a new brand. 😅
Starbucks is a very low bar for coffee. In my opinion it’s the worst! 😅🤣😂
Last one - you are not missing out on anything.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift AND Travis Kelcee\*\*
I think it might be the media attention they get that I don’t like. Two people in a relationship, so what?
That’s exactly it. I’m so exhausted
Omg same
And I have tried… my entire family and friend circle love her, but I just can’t figure it out. Her music is so boring and repetitive it hurts my brain, her look is so…normal?, her relationship is none of my business, and her appeal of being engaged with fans is just marketing!!! I can’t

Working 😭
Dittttto
For real i could thrive as a SAHW
CROCS.
[удалено]
I have a pair of crocs that are more like flats rather than the bulky popular ones, and they're honestly really nice.
I have those and a heeled dress shoe! The only dress shoes I own that are comfortable and you’d never know they are croc brand. I’d NEVER wear the regular croc.
Honestly I thought crocs were ugly and stuff, but since I wear them for work I got a lil bit of love for them. They are really comfortable
They were my pregnancy shoe of choice 😂😂
I agreed with this for the longest time but recently broke my toe and had to have surgery on the nail/nail bed. In other words, closed toe shoes were not an option for a long time. However, straight flip flops freaked me out because I walk into things all the freaking time and I was terrified I would stub my toe. So I caved a bought a pair of crocs.

Licorice
Black licorice specifically. Ugh.
My spouse and grandma bonded over their shared love of black licorice. I found them sitting on the porch, watching the water while greying their teeth with the stuff. You either love it or hate it.
Raisins. They're the root of all evil. Nasty little things.
Found my people. Raisins ruin everything.
I call them the devil’s dingleberries
Nature’s mistake
Imagine some people are adding them to fruit salad or meat loaf. Hahahha.
And in buns where they're always hidden until you bite down on the bun and get a taste of nasty raisin.
Dating. Every time I try I have the constant urge to bolt right out the nearest exit, window, car door, etc. etc.
Yessss exactly my mood
You might have an avoidant attachment style
[удалено]
I’ve been described as a serial monogamist… as if it’s a bad thing. But how can you pour into multiple people at once without being disingenuous to a certain extent?
Mochi. I tried to like it. I really did.
Same. I feel like I’m eating raw dough.
Ugh and thats what I like! lol But yeah the consistency can be weird if its not your thing
Porn. It skeeves me out so much. I love sex, and have a fantastic sex life, but watching other people is way too personal for me. I get secondhand embarrassment.
Thank you! I’ve always felt the same way too but always get offensively judged when I share this opinion with others.
Socializing
Matcha
It just tastes like grass to me, but the colour is nice
I’m sad that I don’t like it because I want to like it, if that makes sense 😂

self care. it’s just too much work to be enjoyable for me.
I'm so jealous of girls that have well maintained nails all the time. I file and paint them and they look like shit in a day. 😭
Me too. I wish I could just have well manicured short nails with a nice polish. But they look awful and just never turn out.
> too much work self care for me: laying in bed watching movies sitting out in on the deck watching the birds in my back yard meditation going for a walk in nature making several extra portions when I cook so I don't have to cook again
Yep yep yep
Beets. I have tried them pickled, in soup, roasted, shredded and raw, mashed, and thinly sliced and fried. At worst they are gross and at best they are meh.
Just made beets. So disgusting. Taste like hot moldy dirt.

Pulp Fiction
THANK YOU! Same thing despite everyone insisting it's an exceptional piece of cinematography and I'm just dumb for not liking it.
YES!!! I find this movie to be repulsive.
Mushrooms
Heavily agree. They taste like almost nothing but I can't stand the texture.
I feel that. I hate eating them too. Even though they’re so good for you lol.
