Girlfriend likes everything else?

Sound like she does it to get on your nerves, almost like mind games really and it seems to be working, just dont play up to the mind games. Also it may be a good idea to keep politics and beliefs aside for the relationship to continue.

But why would she? I doubt she does it because I'm not on facebook. My friend showed my her likes and I saw nothing related to me.

I dont want to force support or likes. It should come from the heart. Not by force dont you think?

I know that you feel bad because your girlfriend doesn’t support you and she doesn’t like the same things as you. But you shouldn’t break up with her for this. Or start an argument about it.

Honestly whether you should break up with her or no or whether you should start an argument about it or no depends on how much you love your girlfriend (i know that you haven't mentioned anything about a break up but you seem unhappy that it’s why I mentioned it. I know many people who don’t have the same poltiical views (for example) and there are still together. I think that the best thing for you is to stop thinking about what she likes or not and stop talking to her about the things that you like (but she dislikes) because you will never like her answer and you will feel that she doesn’t like you. She likes you but she just doesn’t like the things that you like. No one deserves to be judged based on what he likes.

I used to like one boy that liked rock/metal music (metallica etc). I hated it and I still hate it but I continued to like him. He was doing maths, chemistry etc. Subjects that I hated and I still hate but I continued to like him. He used to love playing music with his guitar. I did not own a guitar, I did not know how to play with a guitar and definitely I did not like the music. But I continued to like him. He was good looking, he was my type. Same situation with your girlfriend. She doesn’t like the things that you like but she likes YOU. That is what it should matter to you, if she likes you and not any other guy not if she supports or not your views.

It's not about liking or sharing views. It's about my ethnicity, the abuse I ve faced and the places I worked at.

what do you mean exactly? That she doesn't like your ethnicity?

I might say that I hat* americans but that doesn't mean that I hat* YOU. I just I don't like their culture. Nothing wrong with it.

I mentioned it. Like for example I worked at an rescue and save organization at sea which is pretty big. We were literally risking our lives at sea to save people. Though I only worked there for a few months, my mom was the only one who always showed supported either by phone calls or through liking my pics on the page/the page itself.
My gf knew I wanted to work there for a long time and eventually I was able to. They are quite famous and have IG and facebook pages. But as usual, she never liked it. When our friends start bands or exhibitions, she will be the first to go and like their pages. But in this case, she didnt.

Again, my ethnicity is on half white, half middle eastern, hailing from a country which is trashed everyday. I ve faced abusive slurs and people from my community face this a lot.
My gf has never shown any interest or desire in campaigning against hate for my community. Again, her facebook likes include all types of anti racism things but nothing in my communitys defences.

Her friend started a band and made a facebook page. She liked instantly. Another friend made a page for an exhibition shes doing and again liked it. Couple of other friends work in some places, those pages are also liked.
If she visits a museum or concert , she likes their page as well.

So it's very telling I suppose?

Maybe she doesn't like the same activities as you? But she likes the same activities/have the same hobbies as her friends? have a lot in common with her friends? but nothing in common with you?

We are together because all are friends are the same. That's the main reason. Our common interests are political activity and same set of friends. The people whose pages she has liked are not even her close friends and she doesnt even hang out with them

as you said your common interests are political activity and same set of friends. Not same hobbies, not same activities, not same taste in music. So, that it's why she doesn't like your posts.

My job and ethnicity are not activities.

yes but maybe she dislikes your job. Nothing wrong with it. Personally I think that the only job in the entire world that is good is the one that I will do in the future. I think that the rest of them are useless.
