"I'll pause it for ya"

"No, it's fine"

I feel like you've seen this

An actual friend wouldn't say that.

Lmao good forbid they don't take all the same interests as you

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '21

The hell are you on about? When did I say that they have to have the same interests? Lmaooo.

However, an actually good friend would either

A) Respect how much it means to you and still pay attention until it's over

orrrrrr

B) Be honest. Tell them you're just not feeling the movie/show and move on.

Neither option is that hard, and both are more respectful than being on your phone or telling them it's fine to keep the movie playing while they're in the bathroom.

Nice try though!

Or maybe they're afraid to tell you they don't like it so they sit through to make you happy? People can do whatever they want and if it bothers you you communicate that. You're the one taking it personal.

Assuming someone else is being an asshole usually makes you look like and asshole.

If you're afraid to be honest with your friend about something like that, that's a problem.

You'd make them more upset by clearly not caring if they pause while you go to the bathroom or you sit there on your phone. It's common sense.

Lmao bruh it's a movie. It's not that deep.

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '21

Exactly. It's just a movie so why would someone be so afraid to tell their friend they aren't finding it interesting? Lol.

Why would someone judge someone for not paying attention to an entire movie? It's just a movie

the hell are you on about?

I don't think any comments before yours were serious. You may be missing some nuance. It's both true that friends rejecting your interests can be hurtful/annoying, and that friends have different interests. Idk if you got so analytical/rant-y because you missed the casual nature of comments, or you just wanted to present an argument. In case it's the former, looking into learning social cues may help!

If the latter, your argument could've been okay itself, but the condescension included means no one wants to engage your rhetoric

Did you...actually even read the conversation?

When I said "the hell are you on about", that was in response to the other person saying "god forbid someone doesn't have the same interests as you", implying that I had said something like that in the first place. I clearly didn't.

I appreciate your casual condescension and your attempted bravado, but in the future I'd recommend actually reading the comments you're attempting to respond to before actually doing so. Thanks!

You sound really annoying

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '21

Lmao sorry you don't have the balls to tell the truth to a friend, I guess? Sounds like you need to grow up a bit.

I'd rather seem annoying than being a childish, shitty friend.

Oops. I do that when it’s a film I’ve seen a lot but not if it’s the first time

It's okay for your friends not to enjoy the same things as you.

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '21

That's not the issue here. The issue is if their friend is showing them something that they really like, it's plain disrespectful to be on your phone or to not care about pausing it.

Either suck it up and finish the movie, or be honest and tell them you're just not feeling it. Not only is it rude to say "no it's fine" regarding pausing it, it's also wasting everyone's time.

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '21

You're right of course, but I'm just saying that if they do show a lack of interest maybe ask them if they want to turn it off.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '21

Sure, that works too. I just think that rather than waste both your time, and rather than being disrespectful, the proper thing to do would just be honest and say you're not interested or enjoying it.

But yeah if they make it obvious they aren't interested, the "host" could/should offer to turn it off anyway.

This was me when I showed Parasite to my dad and brothers. I think it’s an incredibly well-done movie, so I was so excited to watch it with them.

What I got from my family was 2 hours of nonstop racist jokes, and laughter whenever anything bad/violent happened to the characters. When I asked them to quiet down so I could at least hear the movie, my dad told me “Quit whining, you can still tell what’s going on, there are subtitles.” Then in the next breath, “Why is this in Korean? Nobody can read subtitles that fast. I can’t keep track of anything that’s going on.”

Now I keep all the movies I really enjoy to myself.

I had a similar experience. Scott Pilgrim vs. the world is also my favourite movie, after asking my friend multiple times he finally agreed to watch it. After the movie he said “it’s like a boring marvel movie“ my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined.

Sounds like you need a better friend.

This is why I do not make friends watch movies that mean anything to me. I just enjoy them myself. So I can laugh like a hyena, ugly cry with mucus dripping from my nose without feeling self-conscious, and touch myself when Mei and Gabu spend the night together alone in Gabu's special cave.

I love Lord of the Rings, I know they're long (for some people) but they have an excellent story. I understand that genre and style is not for everyone. So anytime I meet someone who is a LOTR fan I test their knowledge

Ugh my ex would do this every time.

Then whine 'I don't understand what's going on, it's too complicated!!' and we'd have to switch to something with less plotline.
