but worry? is that the word you meant to use?
Yes, that is the word I intended to use. I don't mean worry in the literal sense. It's more just saying, it's not something I need to think about beforehand.
i do also somewhat struggle to grasp that other people dont know ahead of time whether or not they'll like something. that's another thing

And I don't think that's true 100% of the time. Yes, I do generally know what things I already like, but there are always exceptions.
For example, I generally love JRPGs, but despite that fact, I've hated every Dragon Quest game I've tried. So I've decided that franchise just isn't for me. But I wouldn't have known that without playing it, since I generally love the genre.
And conversely, I've tried games that were completely different from what I normally enjoyed and found that, hey I actually like these types of games too. I couldn't know that ahead of time because I had no prior experience with the genre. I've also had genres that I thought I hated, but I didn't hate the genre, I just specifically hated the game that was my first experience with the genre.
So I try not to close myself off from trying something new just because I think I don't like it.
