I do agree with the point I think you are making (not quite clear so I'll just go for it): The OP doesn't necessarily need a support group. I am not saying anything about that level of problem but I think the OP needs to identify that there is something driving the behavior that doesn't lie on the rationale side of the spectrum.

Everything we do is touched by emotion -- you feel something when you eat, drink something, sleep, talk to someone, etc. That could be satisfaction, happiness, contentment, whatever.

But people think emotions have to be the extreme highs or lows... and they don't realize you are feeling everything in between as well.

"Humans are feeling animals that think some of the time."

It's subjective AND you can have shit taste. Both can be mutually exclusive.

Eg, if 100 people tell you that you have shit taste, then perhaps that opinion is closer to fact. Perhaps your judgment of what is "good" is actually quite narrow and limited.

Also, how open/closed mind to differing opinions and tastes is another factor.
