We all have different tastes and personalities. This makes us have varying wants, needs, desires, and favorites. While someone will prefer a certain thing, another will choose a different one altogether.
People have varying favorite colors, foods, cars, books, movies, etc. And that's fine. You don't need to have the same favorites with your best friend or twin.
Everyone is allowed to love what they love and pick what they want. Everyone has freedom of choice and you shouldn't try to push something on someone if they don't want it or like it.
Trying to force something on someone just because you like it denies them their freedom. It makes them feel like their opinions or wants don't matter. And that's something you wouldn't want someone you love to feel.
Whether it's your child or aging parent, allow them to pick what they prefer. Let them feel heard and valued. Unless it's something that's unhealthy or unsafe for them, allow them to make their own choices.
Imagine yourself being forced to have or do something that you don't like when you could have picked what you like. It's frustrating and infuriating. Don't do the same for someone else.
And sometimes you will find other people picking the same favorites as you. There are people who will share your tastes to a fault. They will love your favorite shows, hobbies, sports, and even having a similar fashion sense.
You will walk into a room and find someone having your exact same clothes, shoes, or hairstyle. That doesn't necessarily mean that they are copying you.
Sometimes people will fancy the same things you and that's very much allowed. You can't hate them just because they love the same color, celebrity, or brand as yourself. Here is a collection of relatable favorite quotes. Read on!
