Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

i don't think they're liars, but it does annoy me to no end when i ask what they listen to and they say that

how am i supposed to have a conversation with someone that doesn't even know what they like? are they literally incapable of even the most basic of introspection that they don't even know what their personal preferences are? wtf

fyi, not having a favorite doesn't mean they don't like something. you can have the same conversation with them as you would with anyone else. they can still like what you like. it's just not their number one favorite.

what is with you absolutes weirdos.

but the anon was talking about not even having an answer when they ask what they like. it's one thing to not have a favorite, but if you can't list a few things that you like non-categorically, it's hard to hold a conversation about it. and this goes for anything.

even if you don't have a favorite, giving me a list of 2-3 or even 3-5 is better than no answer. it's difficult to find common ground in an "i don't know" answer.

that's not what they said. they said they 'listen to everything' and 'don't have a favorite genre/band'. if you ask someone 'what's your favorite band' and their answer is 'i hate music', then yeah, you can't have a conversation, but if you were to ask me that (the i like a lot of things anon), i might answer 'well, i don't really have a favorite, but there's a lot of things i do like. what's your favorite?', because lbr here, most people ask things like that because they have something specific they want to talk about.

if asked for examples, i can and often do list off a bunch, but i've always hated any 'what's your favorite' questions, because i just don't have favorite out of things with huge pools to pick from. what's my favorite movie? i don't have one. i have a handful or more of ones i really like and can watch over and over again, but i don't have one or even two favorites.

that's not weird, btw. it's just different ways of processing things. i have friends that are like me, but i have ones who have very specific things they like. this is their favorite coffee, this is their favorite song, this is their favorite movie. and that's cool. but op started it in an inflammatory way to make not having one ring to rule them all sound like someone was too dumb to like something.

the ayrt was talking about people not having an answer about what they like. i'm not talking about op.

it's not weird to not have a one specific favorite but "i like everything" and "i don't know" are non-answers, really

tbh a better question for op to ask is "do you have a genre of music you like?" instead of "who is your favorite," so they can either list a genre or say "yeah i'm really into late 80's synth pop like a-ha"

"i don't think they're liars, but it does annoy me to no end when i ask what they listen to and they say that ['i don't know'/'i like everything']

how am i supposed to have a conversation with someone that doesn't even know what they like? are they literally incapable of even the most basic of introspection that they don't even know what their personal preferences are? wtf"

the two things are incorrect. if they say i like everything, then they do know what they like. they just don't have a favorite. their personal preferences are that they are open to and like everything. i honestly don't get why this is such a hard concept to grasp. and again, if you were to ask me, 'do you have a genre of music you like', i'd answer like what i did above, which is, 'i don't have one i like, but i do enjoy (list of many genres)'. which, let me tell you, can piss people off when they want a 'favorite'. sorry i don't have a favorite. i like songs. specific songs. i might like four songs from rolling stones, but not more. that doesn't mean i love rolling stones, but i sure as shit like four of their songs.

that's generally what people like me think of when you ask us that. "do I have a favorite? no, not really." because a favorite means something to me. if i say something is my favorite, i mean that shit. it's not my favorite of the day or year or w/e. i can't even answer what my favorite food is because it depends on how i'm feeling, weather, what i'm in the mood for. i can say my favorite season is autumn. that's one of my few legitimate favorites, but that's out of a pool of four. the bigger the selection, the less i'm going to be able to settle on one. because i just like a lot of things.

this got tldr and i know, i'm caring too much, but it's a pita to be told you're weird or incapable of talking because 'eh, i don't know, i like everything' is now a non answer. it's an answer. it's just not one you wanted.

liking and enjoying something are the same thing you incredible tryhard hipster special snowflake

... no one said they weren't, you knobtastic plebeian. you can like and enjoy something and not have it be a favorite. putting one or a few above everything else isn't something everyone does.

you're one of those people that have problems with more than one or two sentences in a row, aren't you?

you raging bull of a moron, this was you:

'i don't have one i like, but i do enjoy (list of many genres)'.

"~I don't have one I like, but I enjoy (list)~"

So you have to correct someone who asks what you like to talk about your ~enjoyment~ because you're too cool to just answer the fucking question like a non-snowflake tryhard

you're too stupid to remember exactly what you said, aren't you?

oh, i'm sorry. i thought basic reading comprehension was a thing you'd be capable of. let me amend that.

'i don't have Just one i like' there. does that make more sense? you boobtard?

now i get why you had issues reading the above anon's comment

you have to SAY the words if you want them to be there, spaghetti for brains

and if someone didn't say the words, don't just paste it there for your own convenience

you must be a goddamn nightmare to converse with

you are so embarrassing

ayrt has otherworldly patience to put up with your illiterate ass

dwrp is rife with autism

borrowing from the normal anon above but if you get and yeah, i like a lot of everything. classical, rock, hip hop, trance, blues. i think the only genres i don't like are polka, christian rock, and speed metal in reply to your question and you can't string two sentences together in reply, then you're honestly the dumbass weirdo here

you're still in high school, right?

but that's an answer, though. "i like everything" or "i don't know, i don't have a favorite," and not being able to give like a few examples of things you like, even if you don't love them, makes it harder.

the anon you quoted gave a wide berth of interests but you can pick a topic better out of that ('oh, cool, do you like [musician]?') than 'everything' or 'I don't know.' One leaves a lot of room for assumption (if you tell me you listen to everything i'm going to start grilling you about danger music) and the other is the biggest non-answer i'm just going to assume we aren't going to hold a conversation and bugger off

Or maybe music just isn't important enough to them to care about more than what plays on the radio or whatever they listen to.
