This might be a short page but I wanted to include it anyway since it was a red flag. Jay really put a damper on everything I enjoy and love. I get that people don't have to like the same things as you, but openly making fun of something in front of my face hurts. For instance, I like to play Roblox. I don't play much as most time is consumed by Minecraft, but I still enjoy getting on Bloxburg or something when I'm bored. Jay openly criticizes it and it may seem petty to some, but to me I was upset. I wanted to talk about this interest to him and he completely shut it down, saying he'd judge me for it. Saying you'll judge someone for an interest is a huge issue. Jay likes cars and stuff, and me not knowing anything about it, I don't scrutinize him for it.
Another instance is with my current fixation on Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, majorly on Rise Donnie being my favorite character. That is my favorite show and I wanted to talk about it to him. Jay said to my face that he didn't care and he would ignore my texts regarding ROTTMNT. I let him info dump about stuff, hell, I was open to hearing him talk about his favorite games (He never talked to me about them because he thought I wouldn't understand. Like I wouldn't understand but I'd still care enough to listen to him ramble).
Jay just disregarding my likes and making fun of them to an uncomfortable extent hurt and further pushed that what we had was toxic. Ever since the night before we broke up, I couldn't watch ROTTMNT. I physically couldn't because of everything going on lately, but now I'm getting better and I'm going to continue binge-watching the one show that gives me pride and joy from the dialogue and behavior of the characters, especially Donnie (I call him my favorite because he's my comfort character in the show).
