    it feels like WORK to get into something new even if it’s something you know you would like if you just listened/watched. it’s so much more satisfying to just listen to something you already know the words and rhythm to ! one of the only things that can get me to start listening to a new artist is it being recommended by a crush 😭

      @poodychulak Рік тому +48

      My sweet spot in the middle is going through the discography of artists I like. Maybe you only usually listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, but you put on the whole album. Maybe you put on their next album after that and if it vibes, it vibes. For me, it saves brain bandwidth of having to queue up songs I know I like (why don't I make a playlist? we're being lazy, not efficient is why)

      FACT. Like really THINK ABOUT what it means when someone desires to share something they love with you.
      I don't think there's words in the English language that can describe how simple, yet beautiful. Impactful, and loving it is when people think about you while they enjoy something they love.
      That is a gesture I WANT to respect. I want to give that thing they love my attention, be vulnerable to it, because if I do like it than me and that person will have a deeper bond. I'll grow as a result, gain perspective, practice learning to love instead of resisting. If I don't like it? Well i can appreciate that the other person thought of me. I can appreciate that they love it so much.
      This perspective single handedly cured all issues I had with getting into new media. As I practiced being willingly vulnerable to new things, the unknown became just as exciting as the familiar. I realized the only thing that ever stopped me from giving attention to what was new, was the narrative I thought to myself. It was the justifications I gave to those thoughts that I thought where an unchangeable part of my identity.
      I let those justifications, and narratives go.

If my friends want me to get me to watch an anime or something they better link me the coolest scenes from said show. I get to see the cool bits, then I get invested, which gives me enough energy to go watch it on my own.

When people rec me something then refuse to tell me about it because they don't want to "spoil" it then that means I'm probably just NEVER going to watch it because you didn't hook me.

LOOVE it and i thought it was just overrated before i played it. Also loved the soundtrack in NiEr, especially the desert music. Aaand kinda same with children actually. I’m 31 and until a couple of years ago i never wanted to have kids, and now i have a newborn and i LOVE it, i’m obsessed with how fun and cute it is to have a mini me. And for some reason with everything ”new” i like (since most of it is like stuff that people have liked for yeaaars) i want to recommend it to everyone but they are like ”yeah? I know, it’s great” haha.

Even now, LONG after I have been made aware of this, even when I know exactly what they’re doing every single time it happens, it still works Every. Time. Without. Fail. Tailored recommendations and an essay on every reason I would love this thing? Nope. Literally just say “hey wouldn’t it be cool if this character was in it. Here’s how I think that’d go”?

      Learn how to challenge your own thinking. The narratives you tell yourself about yourself are half the resistance you will face. Notice what you thought as you read this, do you have to be static? Did you see what your brain just did? Change is possible, you just gatta catch yourself. People aren't static. At least, as far as being vulnerable to the unknown, I'm sure you can learn to do it even if it takes more work than a nuerotypical.

    I come from a unique situation where my entire family (both parents and both siblings, as well as myself) are all on the spectrum, but we're all entirely undiagnosed. My parents just never knew anything about mental health and didn't even understand what "autism" was, beyond some vague description which was basically "people who aren't all there". All they knew was that they were geeks and related to eachother well. As such, I grew up my entire life thinking that wanting to try new things constantly or leaving the TV on or anything are all very weird and unusual, that it's normal to just find what you like and stick to it. You might think that public school would make it obvious to me, but really, it just made me think, "Damn, it's so sad no one's allowing themselves to be themselves at school. :("
    I only found out that I wasn't entirely normal through my partner about one year ago now, who came over to our house and was absolutely shocked by just kind of... everything. How we live, how we all basically eat the exact same food every single day and make super good use of buying in bulk from CostCo because we're just that consistent in our diets that we can stock up and it pays off. How we all spend most of our time on separate computers with "family time" being entirely voluntary; if you want to be downstairs around others, you can be, but there's no "dinner time" to speak of. Even still, it feels weird to even describe all of this as weird, but after he showed me numerous examples, including visiting his own family, I have to admit it's abnormal.
    It's still wild to me people aren't like my family, and actively enjoy trying new things EVERY SINGLE DAY. Like, it feels fake. Like they're all just pretending to like it, only doing it because they think it's normal to like it. Y'know?

      I’m autistic and I was like for for the first 14-15 or so years of my life, only recently have I actually been actively seeking out new things, because I realize, damn, there’s some really cool shit out there that I want to experience, and what started that snowball effect was a game called night in the woods that I played 2 days before my 16th birthday, up to that point I played games but not actually real or story / narrative focused games, always played roblox and some stuff on my 3DS, but when I first played NITW I played it the entire way through in a single night, and it forever changed me, I’ve been obsessed with it ever since since it was the first time in a long time that I had played an actual game, a truly phenomenal game, shit made me bawl fr, and that was nearly a year and a half ago
      You can still find new stuff to indulge yourself in, without losing the stuff you already like or pretending that you like it, eventually I will hopefully find a game that means even more to me than night in the woods does but that doesn’t mean I’ll have to dump it from my memory or have how i feel about it diminished in any way

      For a while now it's been spaghetti mixed with olive oil and grated cheddar cheese. It's really good and I haven't yet reached the disgust stage.
      It's like gnocchi I can just eat it always constantly and in quantities unimaginable to the average person.
      Now that I think about it, food is maybe one of the few places where I'm *really* averse to trying new things.

    I’m autistic and demisexual and I’m the same way.
    People had recommended Steven Universe to me since 2015. I kept refusing to watch it. In 2021, I finally watched it, and now, it’s my all time favorite show. I’m so pissed with myself because I missed all of the hype of watching new episodes as they aired, making theories, and bonding with other fans in the process, and I’m the only one to blame. It’s unironically one of my biggest regrets.
    I think the reason behind my hesitation to try new things is fear of the unknown. This fear has been confirmed rational multiple times. For example, several weeks ago, my friend and I saw Elemental in theaters. It caused me to have a public meltdown. Tomorrow, we’re going to watch another movie in theaters. Not Barbie. Not Oppenheimer. *The Mario movie.* We already saw the Mario movie in theaters when it was new and we both enjoyed it, so it’s a safe bet.

It was honestly kind of a mess and wasn’t as fun as you might expect. The fact you got to watch episodes in order at whatever pace you go at for your first time makes it so much more enjoyable.

    It comes from a paralysis of choice, we are constantly overwhelmed by the vast quantities of media and other types of content made available to us via the internet. Faced with so many choices, it's easier if not impossible to not stick to things we already know, unless driven by an external motivation (say, like your friend putting on Sex Education, or your crush liking Taylor Swift).

    • @Billiamwoods
      @Billiamwoods Рік тому +1

      I can relate to this. I have a much more "anything-goes" attitude towards music because I like it a lot more than TV or movies and it's less of an investment, but when it comes to those things specifically, I always make sure what I'm getting into is going to be worth my time or something I'd be into.
      With music, there's way too much stuff that sounds somewhat interesting or like I'd eventually listen to it, that I just keep lots of albums on a list of things to maybe eventually check out (that I often never do), and it's even worse with TV and movies, partially because sometimes I'll find something I want to watch *right now* but I can't for whatever reason.
      I also get this feeling a lot that I'm enjoying something the wrong way or that I "don't really get it" because I see how everyone else reacts to it. A part of that is that I listen to so much different music - on my rateyourmusic account I have almost 1000 albums rated from genres as wide as technical death metal to dance pop and ambient - that when I listen to something and it doesn't immediately click it feels like something is wrong with me in particular or if I don't get into a genre I'm not "cool" or whatever.
      Like, it genuinely took me a solid year to get why people like Charli XCX as much as they do. I put on HIFN on a whim recently and for whatever reason it clicked for the first time. Part of that is probably because I've been listening to so much Carly Rae Jepsen and Ariana Grande that I can appreciate what differentiates Forever from Anxious or Into You. But before that I just felt like a bozo who wasn't seeing the unmitigated genius and thought it was just OK.

      ​@@Billiamwoodsi think the best way to understand the appeal of a new genre you're not familiar with is to expose yourself to it gradually, in a way that it doesn't sound completely strange to your brain, going from less to more adventurous (expressions of that new genre that also take elements from a genre or genres you already like as a starting point, for example: new age, modern classical, minimalism - if you want to get into ambient music and you come from classical music), just as you described with your charlie example.

Like, I am not a metal head, I will never be a metal head. Despite being able to enjoy everything from Drum and Bass to Rock to 30s big band music, I will never enjoy metal. It’s not like I’ve never tried, two of my good friends are complete and total metal heads that literally listen to nothing else. And they have showed me their favourite songs

    in my opinion, thats a different level of communication that ive recently found and in some ways it actually transcends normal talks, because you share with the other person in a sort of indirect way what you relate to or what you hold dear onto and you dont need to verbalize it - you just give her/him the same sounds and compositions that evoked emotions in you for her/him to feel them

    I tend to get into songs whenever I associate them with something, to the point where it's sometimes the only thing I like from the artist. Sunflower from Spiderverse is a prime example, the song is typically completely not my genre and has Post Malone who I despise. But because it's in Spiderverse and used well, I like it. It's why my music playlist has a lot of old rock, because all of it is referenced in JoJo's Bizzare Adventure.
    One thing that doesn't help me trying things out (besides potential executive dysfunction and forgetfulness) is that I already had experiences of getting recommended things, having those things be called Divine by communities I relate to, but then trying them out and it just completely not being my thing.

I can't say I've really tried anything 100% new yet. Especially when it comes to music, it has to have a certain feel to it or I will not enjoy it, the only way new stuff gets introduced is someone sits me down and plays their music for me, or they ask for my music then later switch it to theirs (pretty much bait and switch) but that is usually effective
