  • The people you’re a fan of likely have people that they themselves geek out over, even if they don’t do it in interviews, etc. It just comes with being a big fan of music, but it also doesn’t help that you’re alive in a time where all of the information that there is to know about a given famous person is in your pocket waiting for you any time you’re remotely bored.

    It’s biggest evil it’s a huge waste of time with 0 benefits

    You can decive yourself and say you use it as motivation or learning life experience but it’s all caustionary tales

    Read a book or sum

    I mean ur right but also just shows lack of self control and discipline because you can’t control yourself and what you view. Being a normal “fan” isn’t unhealthy unless you go overdrive.

    And by overdrive yeah posting on a forum defending your favorite rapper, gossiping about xyz etc is overdrive tbh

    feel like that solves a lot of problems, you cant ever meet up with em, you will never see em, its generally perceived as more refined to be a fan of 'the classics' and such, etc.

    i feel you to an extent. i don't mind admiring the works of people and learning more about them, their experiences and thought process behind their projects but that's as far as i'll go as a "fan"

    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.

    just tell him u think hes funny and treat him like a normal person

    It’s simply you becoming aware at how unimportant celebrity really is. It’s ok to appreciate people who have done something that resonates with you deeply. That’s a good idea thing. Just don’t mistake that for idol worship…you know….like the Kanye section

    its not bizarre you are living a parasocial relationship

    embarrassment is the correct emotion

    I genuinely think this is what it is. to some extent I am in a parasocial relationship and in real life it creates cognitive dissonance

    I don’t think ive done anything wrong tho, it just feels off
