Saying "If you don't enjoy what I enjoy there is something wrong with you" is a value judgement. Not seeing eating, or sex, or other commonly enjoyed activities

Saying "If you don't enjoy what I enjoy there is something wrong with you" is a value judgement. Not seeing eating, or sex, or other commonly enjoyed activities as enjoyable (or simply not as priorities) does not mean you need to be fixed. Personally I love eating, but I would gladly have a substitute to take care of the nutrition aspect so I didn't have to bother about it and could eat a few times a week purely for pleasure.
- helgeman 13y agoI agree. There is nothing wrong with them in the sense that it needs to be fixed. And if they fixed a time problem for people who dont enjoy food. Fine. I still disagree with their approach and i think i have the right to state that without be labled as judgemental. I do actually have a friend who is the same way. He says he eats just to be not hungry. He couldnt care less about food. I dont like this attitude. But he is still my friend. There is a difference between pointing out a different opinion and being judgemental. Its just a small part of his persona anyway.
- precisioncoder 13y agoI understand where you're coming from. It's hard to have friends with opinions that you think are wrong. One of the reasons that I'm taking the time to provide a counterview is because if the feedback is primarily negative people often feel ashamed of their attributes. I'm vegetarian and I receive primarily negative feedback for it. Same with being a geek, and a programmer. Due to how this affected with me when I was younger I tend to think that negative feedback for attributes without a clear negative should be kept to a minimum.
