A lot of times, I am shown things (videos, articles, songs, etc.) that are meant to be good, or funny, or interesting, and my only response is dislike or apathy. There are occasionally instances where I am shown something that I really do enjoy, but this is rare.
The problem, however, is in my reaction. I do not speak honestly often enough; I instead often waffle and give a neutral response. In situations where I am not very familiar with the other person, I sometimes give a false positive. This disgusts me. I'm not sure why I am compelled to respond in such a manner. Perhaps this behavior is a deeply ingrained reaction.
Do you do this? I suppose this might even be a normal activity. I think I will attempt to not do this at all from now on. If I do not like something, I will say simply that I do not like it. I am interested in seeing what kind of response I get.

Some people call it common courtesy. Other people say it's social tact. Underneath it all, it's just conformity.
