Ignore all the people in the thread who are saying it's you. "You rec her things she won't like." "You rec things in a way that don't make them sound interesting." "You don't have good taste."

It's not you, it's her. She doesn't respect you. A friend will at least give your recs an honest go and then tell you if she doesn't like them so that you can adjust your reccing in the future.

By refusing to read your recs it's a simple lack of respect. It says "Your word carries no weight with me." And naturally that's hurtful. All you can do, OP, is accept that she's like this and stop reccing things to her.

No. No one is obligated to read the shit their friends rec.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. This.

Why should someone try something out if it doesn't sound interesting to them? People can rec me romance novels all they want and I'm not going to read them because I don't like romance novels. I don't care how you describe it to me or how much you loved it, I'm not going to be interested.

In fact, the one who isn't being respectful is the person who keeps reccing things to someone who isn't interested.

Rubbish.

I wouldn't say that OP's friend doesn't respect them, but it is pretty clear that the friend doesn't care about OP's recs, and is only either letting OP continue to rec things because they want to be able to continue to make their own recs without feeling rude/self-centered, or because they don't want to hurt OP's feelings. I would feel pretty hurt and embarrassed if I found out that a friend had been letting me go on and on about something even though they actually didn't care at all, no matter how good their intentions were.
