As said above, no one "makes" the OP do anything. They choose to watch/read/play something. If they feel pressured into it, then obviously the arrangement (I hesitate to call it a friendship) is not working for them, so it's their responsibility to speak up or end it. The OP's friend is not obligated to do anything just because OP "gives in".

SA - and none of your response even touched upon my original comment, which was that OP's friend may have a valid reason for rejecting (even "rudely") a rec and that doesn't make them a bad person. Maybe OP needs to consider their recs a little more carefully...

Ayrt -- of course no one "makes" OP do anything, but I know people who will nag and insist and finally you either give in or shut that down immediately. Took me a while to decide on option 2 and my life is more peaceful for it. Basically, you are giving g Friend the benefit of the doubt and I am giving it to OP. Which is fine.

[(Anonymous)]

Ayrt-- you're right. I didn't address that point because I didn't want to address it. So I didn't.

[(Anonymous)]

So, you just replied directly to a comment with a completely unrelated comment. OK.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

It's not like I feel pressured per se, but "gives in" is still a good way to put it. I like watching stuff with my friends, even if I personally don't see an immediate appeal of the show they suggest. And I guess I thought she would be the same, and kinda expected her to agree even if she didn't think the show is cool from the get go, so yeah, it's my bad to project onto her like that. Combined with reaction that negative, no wonder I got upset.
This thread helped a lot though. As much as it was a relief to know people think it was a rude reaction, I also realised I had expectations my friend is not obliged to fill.
