Is it normal i still think about this moment?

Admittedly it’s not a big deal but it’s still pretty annoying.

So a few years back my grandpa had a lot of health issues. One day me and my mom were going to stay in the hospital waiting room for hours on end, and since I still owned a portable DVD player I decided to bring it along with me and watch my extended Lord of the Rings movies while there and on the way home.

My sisters were there for a bit but went home earlier and one of them asked me what movie I brought and when I answered “lord of the rings” the both of them said “lame” at the exact same time and seemed impressed by that. One of them told me I needed to get some new obsessions and she thought Star Wars was cooler. My only response was that they were long movies, but thinking back this was frustrating for a few reasons.

Obviously it’s annoying when people make fun of you for liking things, but it’s extra annoying because neither of them have even seen all of the movies, plus I was going to be there for like 4 hours so it was the ideal movie choice and they seemed to just ignore that.

Tbf we were all pretty sour because of our grandpa and sometimes people acts like jerks when bad stuff is happening. But sometimes when I try to experience lord of the rings I think back to that moment and how rude they were being.

Like I said it’s not important but it’s still a frustrating memory I have.

    I think the only thing to do in this situation is remove yourself from the need to have your tastes validated by others and you only do this by strengthening yourself as an individual and becoming glad that you can appreciate things others can’t.

      I also have never met a female who was into lord of the rings. I know they exist but I’ve never met one

    Thats funny I have memories like that that still annoy me to this day. They seem so miniscule when you say it out loud.

    My experience is that life is full of frustrating memories...

    But, a good life has so many great memories that they blot out the frustrating ones (even though I occasionally remember a few of those).

    I suggest that your life would be better if you focused on the good and great memories.

    To quote Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games series (Book 3 Mockingjay): "I make a list in my head of every act of goodness I've seen someone do. It's like a game. Repetitive. Even a little tedious after more than 20 years.

    But there are much worse games to play."

    Just do something similar - and add your good memories... and you will most likely see the value quickly in your life.

    Also, if you have not read the books (or seen the movies, which vary somewhat from the books - and leave a lot out)...

    At least you don't have to live with memories of being forced as a child to kill other children in a kill or be killed situation nor memories of being in a war where you killed other people and watched unimaginable horrors (although some of those are now quite real in Ukraine).

      It important to keep things in perspective. One of the things that helped me get through hard times in life is realizing that probably even the vast majority of the earth have it worse than me. My hardest times would be a dream for alot of people.
