Things you wish you liked

I thought this would be an interesting topic for discussion...
Is there anything that you don’t like that you wish you did like? This can be a food or an activity or a personal quality - anything.
I don’t like porridge because of the texture but I love the taste. I wish I could stomach the texture.
Same for rice pudding.
I also don’t like conflict but part of me wishes I did as you can learn a lot from a good debate.
Finally I don’t like crowds or speaking in front of people but I wish I did.

I dont like chatting to shop assistants or them following me around the shop trying to get a sale
I dont like people that swear every other word
I wish I liked reading more than I do.
@leeCal what you say all makes a lot of sense, I appreciate the advice, thanks. However the one thing I don’t understand is speaking in front of a large crowd being easier... I have heard people say that before but I would have thought the more people, the harder it is!
I agree on this one, it is difficult. I wish it was easier.

This is something I have struggled with very much. Particularly, forming relationships with people. To this day, I am still looking for ways to overcome it.
On a different note, I wish I liked real ale and gin. I hear people rant and rave about them but

I had selective mutism with peers when I was young and it took me many years to overcome my shyness. It can be done believe me. One night I’ll always remember was singing stairway to heaven in front of two hundred people, I was about twenty four and it went well. It’s a question of persistence. What one person can do another can do.
@leeCal Blimey, 200 people? You have some guts. It's true what you say too, sometimes the only barrier to us doing something is our mindset about it. It's about pushing past the fear and being vulnerable/uncomfortable in the moment, but then realising, actually I can do this!

As to things I wished I like now I suppose Keir Starmer would be top of my list.

Speaking of people getting in the way, have you ever noticed that when you know what you want in a supermarket and just want to get to a certain aisle/product, other people always seem to be in the way
It happens on roundabouts all the time too...I wait for a decent gap so as not to get in anyones way, yet as soon as I pull out so does another car on my left, forcing me to slow down or stop! I don't know why 'give way to the right' is such a difficult concept to understand...
Not just supermarket aisles either...people taking up the entire pavement and walking slowly winds me up no end! I stick to one side so that any faster moving pedestrians can pass easily.
I guess I can add another to this thread...I wish I liked causing a nuisance as much as other people seem to!
I take it you are not a fan of cocktails then? With regards to whiskey, I enjoy Jack Daniels and most recently, Woodford Reserve. I enjoy Cocktails too. Selective that is.leeCal said: Hi @[email protected]
Thank you for the pointers.

Hi @[email protected]
I totally get what you are saying when it comes to supermarkets. I am definatly not a fan of them at the moment, hence the current situation we are all in. That having said, who is?
I've thought of something else I wish I liked that is especially so in the next month....
Michael Buble.

Needless to say, a meal out would not be something I'd look forward too...
Used to think it was just a me thing, but over the years I have heard of other people with similar problems with food.
My diet is very restricted due to other issues as well (OCD being the main one) but even the food I do eat, I don't really like. I don't like the feeling of food in my mouth at all, even things that start with a reasonable texture, become less so with chewing, and there aren't any tastes or smells that I particularly like...
I heard of Zgentlemen/man Jack whiskey. I have also tried an Old fashioned. Its a nice Night Cap. You definately dont need anything else afterwards haha. Ross_Scope said: Ross: They go well with a Brew!leeCal said: Liqurich Allsprts, eww no!
I'm not comfortable speaking in front of people so how I managed to do a speech at my wedding I don't know!
Ah, Bubble Man! I don't like him either. He's gotten to be like the Coca-Cola advert... you know its nearly Christmas when...!

That wouldn't have been ideal, so it's good to hear your back is better. It must be nice to have your home comforts too.
