Have you ever been forced to like something?

Post Reply New Topic

Here's some stuff most people in my class are trying to force me to like:

Politics, music, dating, etc.

Never successfully.

It's nearly impossible for someone to force me to like or do something. I can be considering doing something but if people try to pressure me into doing it, I won't. I suppose that's why peer pressure has always had the opposite effect on me.

All the time if my interests weren't so narrow. I feel like I should know what most ppl know in this competitive world. I can't even see how one gets excited about a challenge like that.

I'll try to get into an "important" subject and the same thing always happens, I lose interest and then forget about it.

All the time. My parents constantly stress on if I want to make friends I need to be intrested in what the other person is. But then how come they in return are never intrested in what I am?

Forced to pretend I like it, yeah. I still automatically pretend to like whatever is the topic. Then people invite me to things because they think we have something in common <groan>.

Yes i have.

Yeah, colored people, homosexuals, feminists and atheists. If my independent observations and studies lead me to conclude that those are people I don't want in my life, why should I be forced to?? Some say they support free will. Come on, this is where the rubber meets the road, do you or don't you support free will?

my dad has tried numerous times to get me interested in hunting, fishing, camping, it just wont ever happen, just like i try to get him interested in videogames.

I was taught to eat what was put on my plate,burnt or not. To this day I refuse to eat "Great Northern Bean Soup." My mother was not a "great cook".

Rap music. Once when I was 12, I told a girl that I didn't like rap music, and she said when I was 13, I would love it. I'm 16 and still hate it's guts

Oh yeah. I have a whole entire list of things I feel I'm forced to like:

My $8.50/hour job
Low-paying jobs
Teasing
Slow Computers
Losing at games

Yes, but i'm always too stubborn to do what anyone else says.

My father tried to get me interested in slaughtering sheep when I was aged 7-10....I think thats one of the things that actually turned me to veganism.

So far it's never happened with me.
