Person A: hey, I like this thing!

Person B: ugh, here are 5 reasons why that thing kinda sucks…

When I was younger, I appreciated Person B a lot more. Nowadays I’m much more like “my dude, why would you see someone expressing joy for something and try to bring it down?”

@matt Yes! Omg! Boost Joy! The planet is turning into radioactive plastic mush, so WHY do you want to rain on parades for a friggin hobby?! (Rhetorical you!) ;). I love people's enthusiasm for their interests passions hobbies pasttimes occupations etc. I love to celebrate enthusiasm over subjective outcomes, for example. I also have a tendency to annoy Scrabble players by trying to make phrases instead of competing. For some reason, this makes them Insane! ;)
