“Why do so many people feel weird about admitting they don’t like a popular TV show or movie?”

“Like, I genuinely don’t like [eg.Stranger Things, The Office, Game of Thrones, etc.], but I always feel awkward saying it because people act like not liking it is a personality flaw.

Is this just social‑media‑peer‑pressure brainrot, or is there a real psychological reason we feel guilty for not liking something everyone else loves? And is it okay to just… not like the thing?”
