2 months ago i saw one of my old friends M
we used to go to the same school, and we kept in contact
while she was here i went to sanity and bought an AFI cd
every since she read the lyrics of some of there songs, she absolutly completey HATES them
hates the message she thinks there trying to send out, where she is completely wrong
anyway, that wasnt too big of an issue
a few days ago on msn, i asked her to listen to one of there songs, and she said NO and made it perfectly clear that she doesnt want anything to do with them
i say look, its just a song i dont lke niklebak (her fave band) but i would listen to one of there songs because i respect that you like them
then it has turned into a whole Y cant you accept that thats te kind of music i like
now i dont noe wether to apologise or cut it off, cause we never really talk without nothing to talk about
what should i do. i kinda vaue her as a friend, but it burns me up that she cant respect my choices

The great thing about having a true friend is that they accept you (all of you). If she is bent out of shape about the music you listen to, then you should hang around people that won't give you a hard time about the things you like.
She can still be your friend, don't try to push the music down her throat. Just find friends that have this in common with you.

That is so childish. You don't have to listen to each others music to have a friendship. Just leave the music out of it. Time for you to grow up! Friendship is not based on always agreeing or even participating in what the other person likes. It is finding things that you both do like, and sharing those things with each other.

You don't need to apologize or terminate your friendship, but you do need to realize that you are two different people with different sensibilities. She will not like everything you like, nor will you like everything she likes. That's fine, just enjoy the things you do like together and don't try so hard to ram "sameness" down each others throats. (I like some music that would send my friends screaming in the streets trying to escape...so obviously music is not a foundation upon which our friendship is built.)

You should respect her choices of not wanting to listen to it.You are out of line.Its like asking her to eat something she doesnt like.I wouldnt dwell on that fact you have different taste,its not that big a deal.

she probably respects your choices, and wouldn't say a thing about them if you didn't try to shove them down her throat.... don't try to force your music or IDEAS on another person... live and let live
you are trying to rock the boat... accept your friend at face value, or move on.

She does respect your choices..and she shows it by not asking you to stop listening to them. asking her to listen to them even though you know she doesnt like them is showing a lack of respect for her choices.

This sounds very immature, there are much worse problems out there. Make up with your friend, life is too short. And enjoy your xmas.
