I am so scared of ever having to share or recommend songs or movies that I like for fear of the other person just completely brushing it off. I have had it happen to me in the past and then my chest tightens, my face stings, and feelings of shame and rejection occur. Even for something so little such as this.

Because of this I'll avoid it whenever I can. If we are in my car, I'll disconnect my bluetooth on my phone so my songs don't play and I'll encourage the other person to connect and play their music. Otherwise I'll play the radio. Or if we're trying to find a movie to watch, I'll stay quiet and just watch whatever the other person decides.
