October 13, 2019 MY FRIEND ISN’T INTO DORK DIARIES!!! :( Hey Brandon! I don’t know how to say this but…I have a friend who DOES NOT LIKE DORK DIARIES!!! I just can’t understand it! Suddenly I don’t know if we can be friends any more! What kind of person doesn’t like Dork Diaries?!?! What should I do?!! Dork Diaries Dilemma Hey Dork Diaries Dilemma, Okay, please don’t panic! Just take a deep breath and breeeeathe. Feeling a little better now? Great. Now, let’s talk about your friend who doesn’t like Dork Diaries. I understand why you’re upset. We all have those things we’re crazy about. It could be a certain book series (like Dork Diaries), sports team, or TV show. Sometimes we’re SO into our interests, it’s like they’re the most important things in the world! And when other people don’t think those interests are cool, we wonder what’s wrong with them. Like your friend who’s not into Dork Diaries. But here’s the thing: people are into different stuff. Your friend may not be into Dork Diaries, but they probably have other things they’re really into. Or maybe your friend is a more chill person who doesn’t get quite as excited about stuff, which is okay too. I mean, everybody has their own opinion, no matter how out in left field it may seem. If you visit a review website, like Goodreads for books or RottenTomatoes for movies, you can look up books or movies you LOVE and you’ll inevitably find people who hate them. Likewise, you can look up books you HATE and you’ll find people who LOVE them. It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with these people who have different views. In fact, I think it’s important to have friends with views that are different from yours. Because if you’re only friends with people who are just like you, how boring would that be?! If you think about it from the other direction, you probably wouldn’t want anyone dropping you as a friend BECAUSE you like Dork Diaries, right? Or because you don’t like something they’re into. Also make sure that your friend is nice and respectful to you even though they may not like what you like, because if they constantly trash talk you or your opinion, then they’re not being a very good friend. And, like you said, it may be time to end the friendship and find friends who are more mature. So I say, if your friend hasn’t really given Dork Diaries a try, it’s totally okay to share why you love it. It makes sense to want to share things we love with people we love. BUT if they’ve given it a try and just aren’t into it, don’t give them a hard time for it. That would be annoying, and even more importantly, it would be disrespecting their opinion. Try to find common ground, or things you do agree on and celebrate those things together. Hey, I’m pretty sure you’ve got other friends who DO love Dork Diaries, and you can squee with them about all things DD! But if they’re just not into Dork Diaries, maybe they’ll like the book series about my best bud, Max. It’s called The Misadventures Of Max Crumbly. ☺ Do you have friends who aren’t into your favorite things? Are you not into what your friends love? How do you strike some common ground with them? Tell us about it in the comments!
LONEWOLFGIRL36337 says October 27, 2019 at 7:39 pm dude, i’m a girl. I can help. I learned this from my ex-boyfriend. First, give her flowers. Then, tell someone else to tell her that you like her. I know, wimpy, but it always works. Then ask her on a date. Then kiss her. It works every time. Btw, I loooooove your name! It’s so cute!
My repones never get pick says October 25, 2019 at 5:19 pm I mean it’s not you fault she does not like it. It’s not like you can force her to like it. It would be rude if she was teasing you about it like ” ha ha Ha ha ha you read dork diaries Your a baby”now that would be rude.

Dorkfan992 says October 23, 2019 at 1:48 pm No offence, but like it doesn’t really matter. They are your FRIENDS and if they don’t like the books that you read then thats OK. Be cool with it! 🙂
Dorky Girl says October 22, 2019 at 7:16 pm I can’t believe that she doesn’t like Dork Diaries!! I love it so much!!
Hermione maxwell says October 22, 2019 at 12:08 pm I love dork diaries, and my friends love it too! Problem is, I am OBSESSED with Harry Potter . It could be because I talk about it so much, or they see Harry Potter is too big for a 10 year old, but they think I’m a lunatic for liking Harry Potter more than dork diaries, and they sometimes tease me. I’m not mad at them, and still want to be friends with them,, but what should I do to make the teasing less bearable ?
StephanieRocks says October 22, 2019 at 7:19 am Girl. Don’t overreact! Everybody is made different! Do not break up ur friendship just because she doesn’t like something I like.
Superpandasparkle says October 22, 2019 at 4:20 am I like both Nikki or Max there both super cool and they both have a enemy like thug, Ralph ,Mackenzie and Tiffany they all make each series and they make it sooooo funny
Otacon says October 22, 2019 at 2:22 am Either that, or your friend is a Diary Of A Wimpy Kid fan who strongly rivals Dork Diaries since it’s debut in 2009, even though I both like Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries equally
Otacon says October 23, 2019 at 9:53 pm And for Max Crumbly, it’s rival status is unknown, but soon, I fear Wimpy Kid fans will rival Max Crumbly, even though I already mentioned that I like both Wimpy Kid, Dork Diaries, Max Crumbly, and more books that I personally like equally
not so american girl doll girl says October 21, 2019 at 8:48 pm my sister feels the same way she just asked my mom if she could get dork diaries number 14 my mom said if her progress report grades are good so my sister also has the whole series of dork diaries.
