Does anyone else not have "favorites"?

Post Reply New Topic

you are all so variegated compared to me.
i have a very narrow slot of conscious appreciation and only singular examples of one strand of all the variants can touch my satisfaction node at any given time.
i like single things and i have no time to reassess anything that i did not instantly feel that i liked..

i am boringly resolute, and i will not try alternatives if i am satisfied with what i like.

My favorite colour is neon grey.

I cannot choose favourites, at all . . . any attempt to get me to choose results in a long and tedious discussion of the merits of every potential answer . . . and no final decision . . .

For me, it's generally "no preference", especially when nothing stands out. If ordering food, for example, I will base my choice on what I'm in the mood for.

I have favourites, within reason. If I think about it too hard then I can see how anything I cite as my favourite is something of a distortion of reality, because there are always caveats and provisos, but as long as my answers don't have to be the perfect truth (and they very rarely have to be in this world), I'm comfortable with citing favourites.

Favourite colour makes little sense to me because there really isn't any one colour that reaches me that way.....similar for names, football teams etc........but there will always be stuff that I like more than most other stuff in the same category. And I prefer to say that a thing is "a favourite of mine" rather than "my favourite" because the latter implies that no other can possibly attract me anything like so much, which is usually untrue. "All-time favourite" is even worse, because it implies that time cannot alter my preferences.

I have a few favourites, namely the colour blue, you could say it's a special interest for me. As for characters in tv shows or movies, songs and most other things I don't have favourites. I just like different things for different reasons.

i used to have this girl friend that would ask me those questions all the time, and when i would always tell her that i didn't have a favorite she would get so frustrated. any ways I'm glad we're not dating cause that was real annoying.
