Confession 2.0 (things that 'everyone' likes but you don't)

[Valgal]

I don't like sushi. When we're out I feel compelled to order something to fit in, telling myself that maybe THIS is the time I will magically like it. I have two pieces and I'm done. Then I stupidly have one more piece and have to choke it down and concentrate on not gagging and then say, "You know, Eden would LOVE it if I took the rest of this home for her." Why do I do this?

[nietis]

For me, it's anything with eel... They disgust me. Yuck.

[catgoddess]

TV - I've never been a fan and become even less of one as I get older.

eeaders - I made the switch to a smart phone a couple years ago and I think I was the last person under the age of 90 to do so. I don't see me switching to an eeader anytime soon...

chocolate - I'll occasionally have a piece or two and I definitely like Stacia's brownies, but I could never eat chocolate again and be perfectly OK with that.

video games - I'm not a gamer, but Matt loves them.

[MamaBee]

Yes to sushi... gross. I've tried... I just don't like seaweed and the raw fish texture.

Buffalo wings... pretty much any meat that I have to pick the meat off the bones like a caveman. Wild Buffalo Wings is my hubby's favorite restaurant... I haven't found anything on that menu that I like.

[nietis]

Snacks. I like buying them and seem to be a good one to choose what's yummy what's not. But I usually be the last person in the house that eats them.

Things that everyone likes that I don't.... hmmmmm....

Wine? Haha. I just don't like the taste of it. Blech.
Pedicures/manicures... I just don't have the desire to spend time doing that. My nails are unpainted 90% of the time and I'm ok with it.

[mariewilcox]

Off the top of my head:

Coffee is disgusting.
Any meat is disgusting.
I've never liked wine either - I've tried but outside of Boones Farm Tickle Pink or Strawberry Hill I've never acquired a taste (I love beer, however).

[renatasluis]

Wine and coffee

[GraceLee]

I can't stand watermelons and avocados. Bleh! I've learned to like guacamole in my soup, but that's about it.

[KristinCB]

hmmmm.. tough one! It's hard to think of things that most people like that I don't. I can be pretty picky but a lot of the foods I don't like are ones that a good % of others don't like too (mushrooms for one haha). I haven't had meat in a few months now and the thought of meat kinda grosses me out now too.

In terms of THINGS.. I HATE going to the movies. HATE. I haven't been to a theatre in almost 10 years.. I hate the crowds and the noise and just to me they are kind of gross because I don't know if they really get cleaned all that well lol.

[YepBrook]

Sigh... I love coffee, movie theaters, sushi, avocados, chocolate, tv, watermelons and meat.

ETA: In fact, they are my FAVES. You guys are weird.

[DawnMarch]

Yes to sushi... gross. I've tried... I just don't like seaweed and the raw fish texture

I hated sushi for a long time but recently discovered that you can ask them to replace the seaweed paper with soy paper so that it doesn't have that extreme fishy taste. With that change, I now LOVE it -- especially shrimp tempura rolls (i.e., no raw fish). Yum. So, if it's the fishy taste you hate, give it a try with soy paper.

I have never really found an Itialian dessert that I thought was good. Tiramisu is the most overated dessert in the world, IMO. And gelato is 99% of the time just substandard ice cream.

[Nettio]

Yogurt. SO gross. I've even tried feeding it Ryan and nope, I just can't.

[KristinCB]

I will also add "the walking dead" While I have never watched an entire episode of the show from the bits and pieces.. I just do not get the hype haha.

I so agree!

[YepBrook]

I also happen to rave over tiramisu, The Walking Dead and YOGURT! OMGee...




ducks and runs...

[LeeAndra]

Ha! So many things: coffee/Starbucks, avocados, Brad Pitt, Benedict Cumberbatch, 'The Walking Dead,' vampires, zombies, 'Doctor Who,' 'Star Wars,' Legos, beer, wine, RPGs...

you probably like jumping off bridges since 'everyone else' does too

Nope, that's something I DO NOT like that everyone else does. hehe

[stormchaser]

SHOPPING! Most of my girl friends love shopping therapy. I hate it! I would rather be outside riding my dirt bike on a single track or hiking in the mountains. My friends think it's weird, so does my husband lol. I think he would rather shop then me dragging him on some wild adventure.......

[anelia]

Kristin, is your zodiac sign Virgo?
As to me -- I hate all kind of alcohol and don't get it why people enjoy it so much.
I hate all things "white chocolate" - to me chocolate and WHITE don't go together
I hate crowds in general and busy streets with LOTS of people who are out just for a walk...this drives me nuts because they walk so sloooow
But I love sushi -- at first thought it was some kind of trendy obsession but when I tried it, I really liked it. I hate wasabi though -- so I always order without wasabi.
I don't really like bolognese sauce.
MILK? That's the one thing I LOATHE (unless it's with added cacao and sugar lol)
I hate ombre hair!!! (love balayage though)
I hate high-heeled sneakers/trainers.
What Brook said about mani/pedi and nail polish. Even though I like my nails with some color I rarely paint them because it drives me nuts
Oh, those are too many, I guess. Let's stop here before I turn into a hater lol

[Suzs]

Vampires and zombies for me. I just plain don't get the fascination...

[carrie1977]

Sushi and edamame....caca.

Brussel Sprouts are yuck, too.

The Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy...not for me.

High heels in general...I have flat feet so those and I just don't mesh.

yes this - I had one manicure that my maid of honor set up - how is sticks jamming into the cuticles suppose to be comforting? and pedicures... OMG - I hate people touching my feet! I had a joint issue in my foot and I prided myself that I didn't kick the doc when he had to touch it to exam.

Another thing that people love are massages... the thought of someone outside of my hubby touching me... makes me shutter... does not feel good - it hurts! That is also in the line of hugs... I have to really like you to give you a hug...

I'll have to look into that... I don't usually eat soy - can be a migraine trigger for me - but I do like shrimp...

[breakingbrie]

Coffee. I loooove the smell of it though! But any kind of coffee or flavored coffee/cappuccinos even are so gross! Not even interested in trying sushi.

I do however, love The Walking Dead.

[ChristineF]

I can't stand coffee, taste or smell. Sushi is a heck no and Asian cuisine is just not my thing.
And another shocker, I don't like red wine. Or dry white wine, a sweet one I'm fine with (my husband calls my favorite "apple juice" due to it's fruity, sweet taste.

[Kiana]

Wine. Sushi. The Walking Dead. I'm with the others that don't like those. LOL

Awards shows. I have no interest in them. I haven't watched one in years and every time there's one on I hate checking social media, because that's all everyone is talking about.

[jumbbumble]

wine beer cocktails etc
E- Readers
coffee

[pewtertm]

Cheese.
Coffee.
Hot dogs. (ever since I saw how they were made...blech!)
Fish.
The use of "ellies" instead of elements.

[cherrygutz]

Fruits. The last time I ate a fruit (banana) my mom said I was 4. Never a fan because I think it was too messy to eat. Unless it was in a form of shake then yes!

[renatasluis]

The song hello from adele.everybody likes it.i think its boring

YES!!! This drives me batty! They're not ellies Cutsie re-naming of words by adults drives me crazy - kindy, kiddo, etc. Maybe it's because I'm older but I just cringe when I "see" or hear an adult talk like a tween

[jak]

Others have named most of the things I don't like, so I'm glad to see I'm not alone. In 'real life' I seem to always be the outcast though!

Seafood (and therfore sushi)
Coffee/tea
All alcohol
Parties/large social gatherings
TV (other than the odd movie on TV)
Make up/perfume, etc
Anything celebrity related...

[anelia]

LOL, this thread seems like we're a bunch of haters.
BTW, I didn't really realize "ellies", "kiddos", etc could sound annoying...
As a non-native English speaker those sound somehow cute to me, didn't really think they're so childish so thanks for pointing that out

[Nettio]

This is how I've felt about every song I've heard from her new album. I don't get all the hype! I also keep thinking she's young, why are all her songs so slow & sad??

[anelia]

I don't get the hype with Taylor Swift either but I guess I'm old.

[annet83]

I love Adele as a person, she's hilarious, but I don't like her music at all.
Don't like coffee either. And I'm also not a big fan of The Walking Dead. Or Sherlock, which is a really big hype in my environment as well.

[nesser1981]

I'm right there with ya!

I'm sure they're fine to a lot of people - they just grate on me And I'm probably in the minority when it comes to that!

[nesser1981]

LOL! I'm a fan of all of these as well.

OMG - thank you!!! I thought I was the only person in the world who is not impressed with Adele's music! The song Hello makes me want to drive my car off the road if it comes on the radio

[nesser1981]

I don't like Beer, can't stand the smell of it. I'm not a big drinker in general, but I have been drinking more wine, I just have to find the right kind.

Super expensive purses, like more than $50, I'm not touching it.

Underarmor clothes for kids that will outgrow it in a few months. Any fancy clothing brand for kids really, I'm not willing to spend more on my kids clothes than I do on mine.

I haven't gotten into the "it" books since stupid Twilight, so I haven't read/watch the Hunger Games or Divergent.

Beyonce. I don't get, I did like Destiny's Child though.

I don't care for the sun/beaches/heat all that much either. Which is weird since I'm from Florida, but now that I'm older and the red hair, it's just too much hassle. LOL!

I know a lot of people love him, Benedict Cumberbatch, not attractive, Kylo Ren in Star Wars, why people liked/found him attractive, I don't get.

I'm sure there are a ton more, but those are some biggies.

[Kjersti]

The words bae, for realsies, and sorrynotsorry.

[Valgal]

Good grief! I got busy and this thread went crazy w/o me.

EW! me too! I will only eat boneless wings. Watching people eat wings is gross too.

Now see, I love wine but can't stand beer. I've tried many times, but it's just too bitter or something. I don't like it. Which is too bad because it's much cheaper than cocktails! lol!

I almost asked for that last week but then changed my mind at the last minute because I started over-thinking things. Maybe I'll give it one more shot. It's a texture thing FOR SURE.

I was a big Walking Dead fan the first couple seasons, then it got really over-hyped and weird, IMO. I stopped watching a couple seasons ago because I decided it wasn't the most peaceful pre-bed viewing material. So now Eden and I crawl in bed and read while John and the boys watch.

LOL!

[Valgal]

I'm surprised at how many of you don't like wine and coffee. I mean, like, I don't know if I can stick around here anymore.

Yes to both of these! I can stand to drink one or 2 super sweet wines, but I rarely bother. I'd rather eat my calories.

I like manicures (even though I never actually make time for them), but pedicures drive me batty. Never again.

And tv, too. I can go 6 months at a time without ever turning it on, and then it's probably because DH and I wanted to watch a show together. Give me a book or computer any day!

Can we add blessed to this list too? No you are not #soblessed because you found a close parking spot at Target.

Here's one for all the sports fans: Russell Wilson. I find his whole act so phony baloney with his magic water, secondary viriginity and God freakin talking to him during the Super Bowl. I will not be the least bit surprised if some kind of Tiger Woods-level scandal comes out about him at some point.

[LeeAndra]

Vanessa, you have to like Kylo Ren AKA Adam Driver because he is from my hometown (and where I'm living 10 minutes from now)! Mishawaka, IN has produced exactly one famous person, and he's it.
