I’m just saying, in life there are contexts where your disagreement is meant to be part of the discussion, like a best song thread, and then there’s other contexts where criticizing what someone likes, even in a non mean spirited way, subtly depresses the fun of the situation.

When I was younger I didn’t get that, my friends would talk about things they liked and I’d instinctively disagree. And at a certain age I realized I’d be better company if I didn’t interrupt their enthusiasm. Because the world sucks and enthusiasm is hard to cultivate.
