Approaching Other's Dislikes
Just approach them.
If they truly get hurt from it, at least make sure they understand that they should be more resillent to different opinions.
Also just because someone dislikes certain things/topics doesn't mean you should go out of your way to avoid the topic, communication is and has always been about mutual compromise, there is only a need to avoid said topics when the person states that the topic is uncomfortable to talk with, or if they have this tendency on anything they dislike in general.
Assuming the need to avoid certain topics after knowing the person dislikes the topic itself as a default behaviour is high-key disrespectful to both you and the person you're talking to because you're essentially censoring yourself while assuming the other person is probably as sensitive as you are. You refuse to even attempt to get out of your own comfort zone and you refuse to assume the better of others.
If there really isn't a way you can get yourself to approach someone in such a manner, please take your time to understand that you are the cause of such non-(re)action, it doesn't mean it is a fault of yours, but it does mean that you made it so that you came off as the way you came off to be, and you should understand where others ate coming from.
And if you geniunely still think that this is a good default towards everyone, you should try to understand that just because you think everyone is happy doesn't mean everyone is happy, and even if everyone is happy it doesn't mean this is good for them (and you). If happiness comes with the cost of avoiding all pain, you probably just really like to not be happy.
