Tell me about something you wish you could like, have WANTED to like, but do not like. No hater opinions. I mean something you have actually tried to enjoy.
Mine are doing puzzles, playing board games more complex than Clue or Scrabble, and watching any kind of sport.

Maybe I haven't heard the right song of his, but I haven't been able to really enjoy any I've heard yet. Lyrically they're great, I just don't connect with them musically.
And all my friends seem to love his stuff.
But my musical tastes are weird, to say the least.

(Although I have made zero effort)
Napping. Honestly, the idea is lovely but if I did it more than once a year it would be shocking. And I would be up until 3am afterwards.
The only close example was in middle school, I believed that drinking coffee would make me seem more grown up and cool, but I actually like coffee now.
(Also valid to not enjoy even fresh boba! It’s not everyone’s thing!)
celebrity news, mags, etc.
just don’t get it
Sushi.
Roleplay video games.
My spouse says he would LIKE to like seafood, but he can't stand most of it.
Peaches and a slew of other fruits. I like way more vegetables than I do fruits.
Mornings. I wish I had the morning person gene. I've tried, I worked 7am -3pm for years. It's awful, it never got easer. No one should have to function before 10am at the earliest.
Hated every second until my first off rotation where I could nap.
Brutal!!!!
Warm or cold...
Just don't like it. Not even enough to be a poser....
Sex.
(Also trying to drink any straight alcohol that's not creamy or sweet)
I love Thai food.
I've seen so many gorgeous sunsets in my life. I've seen 2 sunrises that I thought were worth the effort, and one was on the way to work. I feel these two things may be related.
Podcasts. I have tried to get into many different kinds, but I can't do it. I just find them all very boring.
Also sort-of Iron Maiden. I like some of their songs, but they're no Judas Priest in my very humblest of opinions. 🤘
It seems like a useful social thing, but it just tastes bad to me.
Board games are also really not my thing.
It seems like the social aspect of cardio classes could be great, but I mostly just spend the entire time wanting to die and it reminds me of school PE
I’d especially like to enjoy Studio Ghibli; Miyazaki is very clearly a master of his craft… but alas, still not my thing.
I’ve been admonished for “not trying,” but I’ve actually tried several times with sleepless nights and overthinking tears to make myself FEEL a certain way towards people for whom it would make sense, as if attraction were a choice for anyone.
So…if anything, I know attraction is not a choice.
Also, baking would be on my list. Too many factors can cause it to turn out wrong.
Also I'll join the chess people. I've tried and I'm just not cut out for it.
(With you re: board games. Sorry @theleglady.bsky.social )
So healthy. So horrible.
Alfalfa Sprouts - people used to put them on everything. Not anymore.
Thrillers - don't like the feeling of knowing something bad will happen.
Team Sports - I'll watch them, but playing never worked for me. I love individual sports.
In lockdown, with hours of time to have liked them would have made occupying myself easier.
And I'd find talking to those young people I support who like tgem easier.
“Well you haven’t eaten eggs like (fill in the blank)” or “but this type of fish doesn’t taste fishy” just absolutely not to every fish and every egg
Sorry, too much of that in the real world.
Same thing with running cars off the fucking road.
I don’t necessarily subscribe to “them violent video games is at fault“ but goddamn.
Less sociopathic games, please.
