    I think it’s okay to be excited about stuff, but when someone is excited about something, am I expected to also be excited about it or else I’m considered a bad person for just being like “oh cool” and then not being any further interested?

        I’ll never forget the time I bought a book called Never Eat Alone and my ex ridiculed me for buying it (she’s Chinese so the idea of eating alone was ridiculous to her). I ended up just putting the book in my bookcase, to this day I still feel shitty when I look at it.
