Fanpop Soalan

Are anda ever embarrassed to be a peminat of something?

I know it's a funny soalan to ask, but I was wondering if anyone gets what I mean. Like something anda love, think about it a lot, are undeniably a peminat of it in all but name- because for whatever reason, you're too embarrassed to call yourself a peminat of it. For me there's two things:

Taylor Swift- While I don't like all of her music, there's a lot of it that I love. I Cinta her early country sound and I also Cinta her baru-baru ini album "Lover." Her songs get stuck in my head all the time and it's not even annoying. The reason I'm embarrassed to be a peminat of her is basically because she's a pop star. In my black and white mind, pop stars aren't meant to be good. I'm scared people are going to judge me for liking such a mainstream but also somehow controversial artist. That people are going to think I'm some child who knows nothing about music. People who I agree with on a lot of points- I have to disagree on this. Also my entire family dislikes her- which makes me feel like I'm naughty to like her atau something.

Disney Pixar Cars- What makes it even worse is that I didn't even see it as a kid. I first saw it at almost 18 when my then almost 7 tahun old brother made me watch it because he was obsessed. And I ended up thinking about it a lot at night. Sometimes still do. I wish I could say I forgot about it in time but- not even that long ago, I saw a boy with a Lightning McQueen baju and topi, cap and I Lost focus and bumped into someone. It even once got to the point where my brother once had to tell me to "stop saying ka-chow." Please don't judge me. I know it's a kids' movie and I don't want to be a peminat of something my brother's crazy about. That's why I'm embarrassed to like it.

Don't share if you're too embarrassed. I only started this because I couldn't find a soalan like this and for some reason I wanted to share what I was embarrassed about- even though I knew people might judge me. So I really hope the fact that this exists doesn't upset any of you.

thanks for sharing

I don't know if "embarrassed" is the right word per se, but I have a lot of interests that I often find difficult to talk about to the people I am around the most. They aren't embarrassing interests atau "guilty pleasures" though, I am just a very introverted person and worry about getting a lot of attention for my odd obsessions that don't seem to go together.

Odd selection of obsessions including but not limited to: wacky OTT cartoons, indie computer games, heavy metal, vintage jazz, Fantasi novels, chick lit, classic literature and anything to do with nature and druidry.

So yeah. Odd mix. If I happen to bring up an interest of mine that people were unaware of, I tend to get a lot of soalan and that's the part that I dislike; not so much feeling any self consciousness about the interests themselves, but feeling self conscious about people wanting to know lebih about anda once they find out!

I guess that's one of the things I Cinta so much about Fanpop and why I have continued to come here for nearly a decade now. I don't get that fear atau dread online, and I Cinta having a selamat, peti deposit keselamatan angkasa where I can just be myself and obsess over all of my weird selection of obsessions all at once!
