I got told I was smart a lot as a kid - I thought high school was beneath me and I would purposefully try and read really hard books when I was way too young just so I could feel better than others. I became this way with everything. Music, books, movies, TV Shows, food, alcohol, coffee - As I get older and matured I realize I don't like how I feel towards people who don't have the same cultural attitudes I do. Sure I've watched some all time great moves and read some classic novels and there's definitely massive value in those - but I don't like how if someone tells me their favorite movie is Avatar or their favorite book is ACOTAR or they enjoy Folgers coffee or they like Creed I just assume they are idiots. This has especially hit me in the dating world - I will date a girl and she will tell me "oh that's one of my favorite movies" or "oh I love this song" and it's some really trashy badly rated movie or some super garbage music in my opinion and it turns me off from the girl, which is super sad because what the fuck is wrong with me?
I've also surrounded myself with friends who are a bit of culture snobs, to a certain degree - so I'm in sort of an echo chamber socially. All my friends are super hipster people and idk I just feel like... damn maybe this isn't the best?
How do I improve this what do I do?
