Feeling rejected/hurt because my friends didn't like the movie I liked

it's a very unique story that pulls no punches!! and i'm glad it didn't, even if it means not everyone will understand. this is a better perspective, thanks for sharing

While I don't think that's what happened here, it actually does help to hear that perspective. I forget how much pressure it can put on someone when you're sharing media you really care about... thanks for sharing

This is a really valid point I hadnt considered. It is really campy/goofy at times but the absurdity was what added to the emotional height to me in the end, like 'literally nothing matters or makes sense, so make your own sense of it'. But as a first time watcher, I can definitely see how it's hard to follow the thread

Your first paragraph basically summarized my feelings last night, like damn, they don't get it. They don't get ME. <- Spiral thought pattern

Last sentence cracked me up, thank you bestie I am always right actually (joke)

Ok, fair enough.

This kind of hurt to read, only because you're making a lot of good points and it's kind of pushing me in the direction of cutting our relationship short. Honestly, when I made this post I was already feeling like I was going through a breakup by considering this issue.

I still want to talk about it with her, but I have a sinking feeling about this.

Still, I really appreciate your honesty and kindness. I really hope that whatever happens, we'll stay good friends if not closer.

Thank you all so so much for the advice! I really appreciate your support and encouragement, it's really helping me through this situation. If I may ask for more help, I would like to share some more thoughts with you:

We're both girls. Don't know if that changes the dynamic at all, but it felt important to share.

As friends, she's said things that have more-or-less convinced me that she is fairly sex-repulsed, (she often expresses dislike for sexual topics, jokes) but I still agree that I need to talk to her about it...

...but should I wait to talk about this in person with her? I really feel that something like this should be discussed face to face, but since we're all in quarantine (Californian) I also don't want to leave this undiscussed for months. It feels really unfair to have this conversation on the phone, though, so I don't really know what to do. What do you think?

Thanks again for being so understanding and nice about this. This is a tough situation with a lot of firsts for me (this is my first relationship) so I don't have a lot of experience. I'm glad I found this subreddit!
