LOTR is ruining my friendship.... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, I'm not saying that you should put Lord of the Rings before your friendship, but in my opinion, being friends with someone is accepting them for who they are, and that includes dislikes, likes and hobbies. My friends know I like Lord of the Rings, my closest friends respect that, and we occasionally, jokingly, have a dig at each other. They dig at me about LotR, and I dig at them about Harry Potter, even though I've read those books several times and they've seen LotR(but not read the books), but its all in good fun. Then there are my other not-so-close friends, who roll their eyes everytime I bring LotR up, and call me a freak.
If someone is not willing to accept you for who you are, entirely, then maybe they aren't as close to you as you thought they were.
No offence to anyone!
