I am a very passionate person, especially when it comes to emotions. You can't see it on the outside but on the inside, sometimes I feel like I'm going to explode. When someone has something in common with me, I always get really angry with them and end up not talking to them for a week or two. I'm not sure why. For example, if my friend starts singing my favorite song, or if someone starts talking about my favorite book, they automatically go on my hate list until I forget about it. BTW I do have anxiety, mostly social. I've never been tested for any mental disorders but I'm almost positive that I do have it. I'm not saying I want to blame this on my head, but is there a mental disorder this fits into as a symptom or something? It's been this way for 2-3 years and it's extreme. People aren't allowed to agree with my opinions, like the same music, draw the same things, have the same personality, or anything that makes me who I am.My best friend loves the same music. If she starts talking about how cute the band members are, I ignore her for 2 weeks straight. I can't help it. I'm not usually one to show my emotions, but this is the biggest thing in my life right now.

Sounds like you're just really fixated on being original, special...
Maybe even obsessed with it.
Thanks for this!

Have you ever been evaluated by a psychiatrist? You might consider that...not because I think there is anything wrong with you but because you do. I don't know what's causing your extreme reaction to things you have in common with other people. Maybe Trippin nailed it. It seems unhealthy. You might check this out with a therapist. Sending big hugs.

I agree that it might help you to see a therapist about this issue. Your life is going to be difficult if you can't stand anyone who likes the same things that you do. It's a set up to become very lonely.

I would guess the angry feeling toward others having something in common comes from the justification of some long-standing, deep-seated anger being threatened by the fact of someone having something in common...and I say that as someone who used to love maintaining justification for my long-standing, deep-seated anger.

I will further add that on a deeper level, it could stem from difficulty forming relationships. Relationships are mostly about sharing, so why not give it a try?
