Is it normal i absolutely detest when other people "like" the same things i like?

Tinybird here. I absolutely detest when other people claim to like, or be attracted to, the strange things I am attracted to. Like tornadoes, or liminal spaces, or the spongebob outro song, etc.
The most recent thing is Salad fingers, because I have a crush on Salad fingers. I hate when other people say they also have a crush on him, or when they drew hentai of him. Which I had the misfortune of seeing yesterday. And no, it's not because I feel jealous or possessive of the character (because he's not my character, and I don't own him, his creator does.) Or feeling jealous that they will like, "steal" him from me, because that's just silly, he's a fictional character and I know he doesn't belong to me. That is not the reason why I hate when other people act like they also crush on him. It's more to do with feeling like I'm unoriginal, or that someone else feels the same way as me (or claims to). I don't WANT to be like anyone else. I want to be noticed as MYSELF and for my feelings to be known and understood as authentic and 100% my own. Therefore, it's not actually Salad fingers himself I am possessive over, but my own FEELINGS about him that I am possessive over, if that makes sense. I hate knowing or thinking that there are others out there, who feel the same way about this character as I do (despite the fact they are probably vastly different people and have vastly different views on other things). I don't want to be the same as anyone else, and I want my feelings to be recognised as being MY OWN feelings, and not being unoriginal. I feel like I'm a copy of a person when they say that and like they've taken my feelings and are "getting credit for them", so to speak. And I can't let other people take credit for my own feelings that I felt before them. I liked him the same way back when I was like, 11 as well and these people make jokes saying they like him and draw hentai of him, when I was doing that way before them.
It's not just Salad fingers either, but all the other weird things I have been attracted to. Like when people would say (often as a joke) that they are also attracted to tornadoes, or that they "had sex" to the Spongebob outro song or twerked to it. Or when somebody made a satire post where they "labelled their pussy as a liminal space", when I had come up with that idea before.
Anyway, I hate when other people sexualise the weird things I am attracted to. Because it makes me feel like my feelings are unoriginal, and like they're someone else's, and it makes me feel sort of violated in a way. That a person who probably disagrees with all the things I agree with and agrees with the things I disagree with, a person other than myself, has "stolen" my own feelings from me. It's a big identity crisis I guess. Is this normal? And what can I do to stop feeling like this?

    Your problem is you are totally obsessed with what others think and what others do. You have control problems I think.

      Actually, I think it's more the opposite, I'm only interested in myself and what I like. Other people bore me.

        Every other time you comment you are saying "ppl dont like when I do this" or "I hate everyone who has relationships". Maybe since I planted thr seed you'll notice. But it seems unhealthy. You seem to focus on others too much.

              It's nothing of the sort. I am further emphasizing that I am not interested in other people. I may be interested and overthink what other people think about ME, but I am not really interested in THEM. I find other's lives boring and I lose interest in it. I only have interest in what I am obsessed with at the time.

    Well first off, it's good that you recognize that your behavior is illogical and that you want to correct it. That's a wonderful thing.

    Second what you gotta do is keep repeating to yourself that no one stole things from you. And that your feelings are your feelings and their feelings are theirs. It might take a few years, but it will eventually stick.

    I won't name all the illogical things I've done since the list is long, but I used to do illogical shit all the time and kept reminding myself it was wrong. Took me till my 30's for it to kick in. I'm playing catchup on some things on life right now, but meh, better late than never.

      Yeah, I drew it myself, I drew me and Salad fingers making love, BEFORE I saw it from anyone else. It exists in my sketchbook and I also got some people to draw hentai of me and Salad fingers, they even animated it.

    Being totally original is practically impossible. Artists, writers and musicians are constantly accused of plagiarism because so much has already been produced. Even Shakespeare lifted characters from Ancient Greek mythology.

    I read a quote recently that was something like, “People have seen and heard everything before, but they weren’t paying attention so you can show them again.” Just because art and ideas aren’t entirely original doesn’t mean they hold no value.

      Yeah I get it but for me it's like a form of "imposter syndrome" but it's like romantic imposter syndrome, like I get an object of affection, but then if someone else says they also like them that way, it makes me feel like... Like I'm a fake or a fraud. Like, I'm not meant to be. Like it's not meant for ME. And I'm not supposed to feel these feelings. It's THEIR feelings. As if that other person is the "real" one with those feelings, does that make sense?

    That's not normal, woman with a big bottom and a tiny pussy, you probably fart around being lazy going to sleep with your mother, without your own house and with no job, I don't wanna come down to a woman's house to find she's a smelly girl drawing pictures of politically incorrect things, you have no sense of responsibility, you probably want all the elven things you can get and go to an all you can eat restaurant only to eat pudding and drink Pepsi.
