Serina's been looking into spirituality of various kinds, which I think is awesome. But she's so quick to dismiss it and get defensive because some people would laugh at her for doing this, and liking it, and expanding her mind.
Come to think of it, a lot of people do this. People are so scared that if they do anything out of the norm they'll be shunned, so they lampshade it to make them seem more "normal" to others. It extends into the meta and petty often, too. If someone listens to, and enjoys, a band that isn't what is expected of them, they're likely to feel guilty, or even pretend to hate it and not listen to it again out of fear of getting hurt because you exposed some small part of yourself to others.
I wish people didn't do this. People judge too harshly sometimes.
