You don’t need your friends to like your music, your team or your food. You need them to like you.

Shared taste is a convenient starting point and a weak foundation. People change what they listen to, who they follow and what they eat, so a friendship built on the overlap thins out every time one of you moves. What actually holds is far less interesting to describe: they are glad when you walk in, and they do not need you to be a particular way in order to stay.

Stop screening people by whether they are into your thing. Notice who asks you a second question instead. Let your friends have completely different taste without reading it as distance between you.
