I should just keep my opinions to myself

Post Reply New Topic

Well basically, I don't understand opinions. I have an obsession with giving every single TV show episode, movie, game, and CD a score out of 10. After I watch something, I go on Facebook (I know it's evil but I'm addicted to it) and I say something like "So and so was a great movie, I would give it an 8/10."

Then someone will reply saying something like "What?? That film was terrible!" But other people's opinions about something being terrible makes me upset. My brain doesn't seem to understand that something I absolutely love, someone else can absolutely despise of it.

I know it's my fault for mentioning it on FB, thus the abuse from other people, for liking it, but I've just got an obsession with showing the world my ratings on everything. Every other status on FB is a rating of something.
Also, when there is something I love, secretly, someone may mention it and say that it is really bad, and I just want to argue back at them, because I can't believe what they have said.

Once my brother said "Imagine by John Lennon is one of the worst songs ever made", which made me furious, because it is one of my favourite songs of all time. Even on WrongPlanet, I'll probably get abused for saying this.

Should I just keep my opinions to myself, and secret love things? I just can't stand other people's bad opinions on things I love, that make me upset. I really don't know why I can't accept what other people sometimes say. I also don't like to go near the debating threads on here, as I'll get attacked for my opinions.

Is anyone else like this, getting very upset just from other people's different views?

I can relate. If someone says something negative about something I really love, it feels like a personal attack, even though I know logically that it isn't. I did figure that's probably partly why I keep a lot of my interests secret.

Yes. If you can't handle other people's opinions, don't post yours because it invites others to share theirs with yours.

If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

I am NT and I really do not feel attached to any of my personal opinions. In most cases, I could care less if I am right or wrong.

I was about to post an opinion but then I realized that I might offend the OP

Imagine is an amazing song! It's in my top Lennon songs, right below Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy).
