To Jarrett: why isn't it proper English? It makes sense to me.
Andrei did a pretty good job of explaining indirectly why it's wrong ;)
If you say "I think <something about myself>", it sounds very strange,
because it sounds like you don't know what's going on in your own
brain. "I think X" often means "I'm not sure of X", so saying that
you're unsure of what you do or don't like sounds odd indeed.
I think you're right.
