The need to be consistent can make an outdated preference feel like an obligation.

Consistency is a virtue that can quietly become a debt. You liked something, said so publicly, built a small part of your identity on it, and now continuing feels required even though the appetite has gone. Nobody is holding you to it except the wish not to seem changeable.

Try dropping one thing you no longer enjoy and notice how little anyone reacts. People track your preferences far less closely than you assume. Changing your mind in public a few times also makes it much cheaper to do the next time.
