So I'm kind of frustrated. I went on a roadtrip with my friend...

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that your road trip didn't go as planned. What happened?

Okay so basically he skipped a lot of my songs I had in my playlist. I'm kind of offended like..is my music taste bad? I know it's such a nonissue but I just feel not happy about it

I totally understand why you’d feel that way. Music is so personal, and it can feel really dismissive when someone skips your songs, especially on a road trip where you’re supposed to be sharing the experience. Maybe your friend didn’t realize how important it was to you. Have you had the chance to talk to them about how it made you feel?

Yeah it definitely felt dismissive like I felt very offended. But no, I didn't say anything because I didn't want to make him feel unwelcome. I don't want to seem like I'm judging his actions.

If it helps, you could frame it as wanting to share more of what you love with them, rather than focusing on the act of skipping the songs. It’s all about fin

I get what you're saying , you're saying if it bothers me this much then maybe I should talk to him about it. If I'm being honest, I probably won't. I'm not that petty so I will just feel offended alone. I just wanted to vent.

Venting is absolutely okay, and it's important to have that space where you can express your feelings without judgment. Sometimes just talking about what's bothering you can make a big difference in how you feel. I'm here to listen whenever you need to get things off your chest. It's tough carrying those feelings around, but you're handling it with a lot of grace and understanding. If the moment ever feels right in the future, and you decide to bring it up, that's okay too.
