I don't want the same things other people do. Is there something wrong with me? Am I broken?

No you are not. You are an individual, gifted with your own personality. Let no one else influence you to change yourself.

NO! Of course not!! It means you're different from other people! It means that you are unique and not a cookie cutter follower!! Break away from expectations and pave your own path :)

I don't think that wanting different things than other people makes you broken. The things that you want make you unique, and being unique is something to be celebrated. There's definitely nothing wrong with you!

There is nothing wrong with you! Everybody is different and that is what makes the world such a wonderful unique place! If somebody tells you that what you are feeling is "wrong" just remember that that is not a fact, that is their opinion.

I DON’T think there's something wrong with you because you don't want what you have been told you should want. You are not broken for wanting things that others don't want. If we all wanted the same things what would be the point of having so many ice cream flavors right? And if it applies to flavors and smells, why can't it be applied to other things too? The point is, that it’s okay to want something others don't want just keep in mind that if it involves others you should always seek for consent.

You're not broken, each of us is a unique individual with different wants and needs. The key is finding out what works for you, not everyone else.

Of course you are not broken! Everyone wants and likes different things, that is completely normal.

I used to think like that. No, you're not broken. You're just different.
When I was growing up, I realised that I like women instead of men in a mainly heterosexual society; I felt like I was a disappointment and that something was wrong with me. It caused years of depression, even thoughts of suicide; when I finally accepted it, it was like magic. I could be myself, and I could be happy doing what I wanted to do, when I finally stopped caring so much what others would think and realised that I'm not broken.
So there's nothing wrong with you. You're perfect, just the way you are. :)

There's nothing wrong with you. We are all humans and we are all different. We do different things, we like different things and so on. You don't have to be like others. You have to be original.
