i don’t like when I’m talking to someone and I start revealing how much I know about a random person that doesn’t know me

When I see someone I’m a fan of in real life I have no desire to talk to them, I even avoid them. I don’t want to ever have that dynamic w someone unless I have business or a real human reason to interact.

Even being on this forum is embarrassing sometimes.

Is it probably just pride, or shyness, or what? Does anyone else feel this

let yourself fanboy

be silly for a moment it will be okay

You should feel shameful if you’re a stan

S***s embarrassing

They got niggas 30+ on here worried more about their favorite artist rather than taking care of their own families

I openly stan

Kanye
Elon
Drake
Andrew tate
Lebron
neymar

enjoying someone’s work or art is pretty normal. it’s just weird when people defend them like they getting paid

worst of all you're an anime avi

Being a fan of someone’s output is fine. Knowing their personal details beyond a Wikipedia article is kinda excessive but understandable to a degree
Being a stan is straight up idolatry and pretty abnormal behavior

don’t forget the s***ty username

Type list

Internet made being a fan more weird cuz now i can find out everything about this person

You just trying to start s***

You’re allowed to enjoy things man who cares what other people think???

Be a fan not a stan

Being a LeBron, Drake, Ronaldo, Brady, Kanye etc. stan is just tired to me. Like be a fan of some them sure, but don't be a Los Pollos, find some underdogs to root for.

i think you’re overreacting

Yeah I think any self aware grown man would be embarrassed at being fanned out over another person. Man especially. I mean az long as you don’t sound like some obsessed teenager ur straight

your a fan of there work not the person

only time being a fan worked out irl would be TwistyP

good you should be embarrassed thats healthy

I have no problem enjoying the output, it’s just specific moments that feel really bizarre.

the most recent was at a comedy club. I spend a lot of time listening to comedy podcasts, and this particular guy I’ve probably spent weeks+ worth of hours listening to. Just off the jokes and stories he tells, I know about his family, I know his interests, in some ways it’s like I know him. But before the show when he was sitting at the bar upstairs, I didn’t even want to make eye contact. I wouldn’t have had anything to say, even waving would have felt dumb.

and I know it’s s***tier to treat the guy like he doesn’t exist. It’s just a strange unbalanced relationship, idk what the etiquette is or anything.

fellas is it gay to be a fan?

man? enjoy things?

what podcast? at the end of the day they know they have fans and are used to it. you dont have to recite his words back to him verbatim but small talk probably no harm

its not bizarre you are living a parasocial relationship

embarrassment is the correct emotion
