    I’m as honest as it gets, unfortunately, and they aren’t. So, when I say I’ll check it out, I do, but when they say they’ll check it out, they never even tried at all.

      Yeah I just don’t take it personally. I get what it’s like, people have their tastes and aren’t necessarily quick to try something on a recommendation. Honestly I don’t think it’s something you can really expect of people, and certainly it shouldn’t be so transactional.

        Oh, no. I hope I didn’t come off like it’s transactional.

        See, to me, when I love and respect you, I want to see what gives you joy, what makes you tick and how you think. It makes me happy to see my friends happy when I take part or observe their hobbies and interests. It’s cute. I guess I’m more bummed that I don’t have that kind of friend myself, if that makes more sense?

          Ah yes, okay I see what you’re saying. I think I’m very fortunate to have a couple of friends who care about media the way that I do, and we know each other’s tastes and take recommendations seriously. I have a lot of other friends that are absolutely not like that, so I guess it’s an individual sorta thing ya know.

            I’m a loner, so the ones I do have are the only ones I could keep. I don’t always have the energy for talking and hanging out long. It’s an issue I am, unfortunately, very aware of. :/

            But, hey. Thank you for the actual conversation.
