I'm upset with my best friend for choosing a genre of movie that I struggle with and worse, it happened at a surprise birthday party that we threw for another friend
Why didn't you like the movie that was chosen?
I've never heard about the movie he chose and I was tired of watching movies for a while
That was nice that you threw a surprise party for your friend! All of the guests, including yourself, should have been considered when choosing the movie. Next time, suggest trying to find a movie that everyone will be happy with.
I am tired of appeasing everyone else but myself. Why can't other people see that my preferences are better than theirs.
You are making a big deal over something so trivial. You can always do something if you don't like the movie. Next time let them know you would prefer to watch something else instead.
