Summary

We've all heard of "pick me" girls or girls who refer to themselves as not like "the other girls." After watching a video of a girl talk about her disinterest in Taylor Swift, I started thinking about why some women try so hard to separate themselves from others. In today's episode I talk about why some girls refuse to share similar interests and opinions as other girls and why I personally love being like "other girls."

0:00.0	Hi Besties, welcome to or welcome back to Try Not To Care.
0:19.6	So recently I came across this video on TikTok of this girl saying, I'm going to be the
0:27.5	first to say it, I don't understand the hype around Taylor Swift, I don't get it. And seeing
0:34.4	this rub me the wrong way, obviously it's okay to have a difference in opinion, we all have
0:42.4	a different taste in music, but to say I don't get the hype or I don't understand why people
0:49.6	like this artist puts a bad taste in my mouth. Clearly there's a reason why this artist and other
0:56.5	artists are successful, there's a reason why people like them. It's okay if they're not your genre
1:03.9	or you don't resonate with their music, but the idea of having to declare that you don't like
1:11.4	something that the majority of women like gives off, I'm not like other girls' energy.
1:18.8	I don't like a lot of artists, but I'm not running around denouncing them because I know that it

1:32.0	opinion and that difference doesn't make me or them any better or worse than each other.
1:39.1	In my opinion, when you have to publicly announce your disinterest in anything that a lot of women
1:45.8	like, you are making a conscious effort to separate yourself from those women. After I saw that
1:54.5	video, I made a video response to it and honestly it did pretty good, but after reading through the
2:03.2	comments, it made me really think about this as a whole. It made me think about how women try
2:11.4	to separate themselves from one another, especially with the statement, I'm not like other girls.
2:18.4	So today we're going to talk about the idea of not being like other girls and why I personally
2:26.0	love being like every other girl. I think it's safe to say that I'm not like other girls or
2:32.6	you're not like other girls is a common thing that we either hear currently or we heard growing up.
2:40.0	I remember being told that by boys when I was younger and at the time it was such a compliment,
2:45.7	it was something that I strived for. When Guy said this to me, it made me feel as if I was special
