Am i the only one who hates it when u find out someone annoying likes the same things as you like no stop I'm only allowed to like Tokyo Ghoul not your crusty ass. (I only say TG as an example because that's what I remember off the top of my head.) But I remember this not only being with anime, things like music too. It bothered me in middle school everyone started liking the same bands that they previously made fun of me for listening to just because at that moment it's suddenly "trendy" and 99.99% of those people don't even listen to that music anymore as highschoolers. I'm probably just overreacting, I am a melodramatic and easily irritable. I have no idea how to end this post so I'll just put a question as a conclusion:

Does it bother you when people you don't like turn out to like the same things as you?
Does it bother you when others start liking something just because it's trendy? Something that you were possibly teased over?

There's currently no one I dislike, though I seriously doubt this would bother me.

Not particularity, unless they're very vocal and annoying.

No, though I can't relate to your troubles personally.

Not really IRL, I'm usually very happy to meet people with a lot in common.

Online though, I like being my own breed, you normies stay away from what I like.

You'd probably hate to be me because all three of my siblings like the same animes and music as me lmao. I don't mind it though because I get to talk to them about it.

I usually dont care( Its usually a good thing) unless they like an aspect of it that makes it look bad or goes against my morals.

I have liked 8 bit games since I was a kid and I dont mind the current retro game fad right now I think its good it will keep these games alive.

No, they can like whatever they like, I don't care,

Does it bother you when others start liking something just because it's trendy?
Not really, I just think it's weird how they lie to themselves saying that they "like" something when they only following a trend.

Something that you were possibly teased over?
In that case, I would consider them as a highly hypocritical person, but it hasn't happened to me so....next question.

Am I the only one who gets irritated with this?
Idk, Earth its a pretty huge place and there's a lot of people on it, so I don't think you're the only one who thinks that way. Not me though...

Well, I used to get annoyed by ppl who wear the same outfit as me and with the same name as me. I got over it. The only thing that's now trendy that I got teased for is wearing glasses. I'm glad to see glasses become the norm now.

Anyway, you'll always have something in common with someone else. It's a vast world. I enjoy sharing things in common with other people. The only thing I dislike is when someone is trying to please me and get close to me by forcing themselves to like the same things as me. I prefer someone who's himself/herself. Can't deal with fake people.

Moo! YAS! It's because I feel like their copying me, like pls stahp, I wanna be my own species...
I got so annoyed at my bro after he started watching anime, started watching shoujo, (he said he hates sub) watches in sub & when I give him a suggestion he's like "no!" lol, ruuude. He even got a MAL account. My other bro said he likes the beats from this K-pop group I like & right after that he dissed it. "Kpop is bad" Go.to.hell.mofo. The one that watches anime even brags about it to me, like no bro, I'm more weeb than you, pls stahp, it's embarrassing to a fellow weeb like me.

On MAL, it's okay, I don't mind.

I feel like shooting someone, he keeps watching in sub & watches anime using his PS3. Before this, he was like "But the asian voices..." in a complaining manner. Now hes like "But their voices...." lmao, maybe you should mute it & just watch in subs since you don't like the sound of a human voice?

That sounds like some serious case of "I watched/listened that before it was cool"

idk i dont really care, I mean, if I found a person who liked Love Live! i dont know why would I hate him (unless he/she shipped RinMaki then I could probably see him/her with disgust).

Sometimes. When I do feel that way, it's usually because I'm afraid they might know/care more about said thing than I do. When I'm really enthusiastic about something, my mind goes into I! MUST! BE! BIGGEST! FAN! mode. I have to remind myself that it's petty.

Most of the time though I get really psyched when I find out someone else likes something that I like.

Does it bother you when people you don't like turn out to like the same things as you?
Not really. That would actually make me like them. I'm only bothered by this if the person was purposely liking all the things I liked. Imitation- not the best form of flattery.

Does it bother you when others start liking something just because it's trendy?
Nah, unless they go full retard about it like if they claim they've been long-time fans when they aren't. That would probably irk any loyal fan.

Something that you were possibly teased over?

pretty much this. Ever since the movie came out, all my friends are insta Star Wars fans even though they have relentlessly teased me over it before. It pissed me off for some time, but I got over it. Any new addition to the SW community is welcomed and I'm thankful I get to talk about it with them now though they can't hold a decent conversation or discussion about it which makes me sad.

It's kind of annoying. Like anime is (for some) used as an "aesthetic". People will post older anime pics they know nothing about on soundcloud or any other social media. And it's worse when you try to talk to them about it and they're like oh I never seen this I just liked how it looks.

It looks like jealousy to me, because..

"no stop I'm only allowed to like (insert your favorite title) not your crusty ass."

..haha, really, it looks like one.

Does it bother you when people you don't like turn out to like the same things as you?
Sometimes it can surprise me and I usually end up thinking it's fun coincidence.

Does it bother you when others start liking something just because it's trendy?
Well, not anymore.. This is expected, because trendy stuff exist to invade our heads.

I don't really care, I like a lot of things and if someone people happen to also enjoy those things I don't see how it's any detriment to me. If anything I at least have someone I can talk to about the thing. Like for example I really like Vampire Hunter D and the director Yoshiaki Kawajiri. Most anime fans don't know or care about those so I never really have the chance to talk about it.

No one likes a sheep, it's just better to let it pass.

Just remind them of their days as a hater... And never let them forget it

Am I the only one who gets irritated with this?
Well I get pretty pissed off when one of my friends starts to like something I enjoy just because he never shuts up about what ever it is and continues to fanboy it to the death of it.

I can understand it in a way, I feel like sometimes I get a little possessive over things I like, especially if I think they're cool, because then I somehow don't want anyone else to discover how cool they are because then it's not something that's unique to me anymore. It's like part of me wants to be their friend so we can talk about it but the other half wants to hate them lol.

But I sure as hell get annoyed when people like things just because they want to follow the trend, not out of genuine interest.

exaxtly. i would love to be able to hang out with people that listen to Zyanose and Dropend! when i am with friends i allways have to listen to nu-metal bands..
i would like to say i doubt lots of people would suddenly listen to crust ir something cause it became mainstream. but the same thing happened with Speedcore here when i was a kid, nothing is impossible. but it also has its good sides, even is people just go along with the trent, there would still be more cool gigs cause there is a demand for it. and there will allways be people who will keep on loving it after the trend is over, who otherwise would have never heard of it.

only thing i ever find in common with people around me is liking anime.. still not exactly the same taste, but that only makes the conversations better i think. it would be boring if you both liked the same shows 24/7. leaves nothing to discuss.

You know it does bother me, even though I know it's irrational and stupid. I never let it show cause I understand tbat there is no basis but I do feel bothered even though I definitely shouldn't, like for example I'll go out of my way to drink a different drink then my friend even though I love it.

Then again humans by nature aren't very rational.

Originally my sister hated Marvel but recently she has started to like it. I like geekey things and she likes things like rom-coms and chick flicks. I am OCD and the other day ahe said that she would get us both spiderman homecoming but that would ruin my collection since I have all films except for that one
I don't know if she genuinely likes marvel or if it is just some kind of sick prank on me.
