Have you paid a price to be a loyal fan, especially celebs?

😉 This might be an interesting question. But, we all love our favorites so much that a certain price comes with it. Do you feel you have paid a price by supporting someone that your family, friends don't like? Even people here on IF? 😲 How do you find that balance? Please share your thoughts.

No. They are just actors. Who cares if a friend or a family member doesn't like your favorite or vice a versa? You watch the movies, you look up gossip on the internet, you chit chat with friends and agree or disagree and then you move onto the exit subject. A couple of my best friends think Angelina Jolie is a saint. I think she's cookoo for coco puffs. I make fun of her, they pout, then they make fun of Robert Pattinson, I pout and we move on. We never take it seriously.

IF is all anonymous. You have no clue who the other person is other than specific topic of celebs. I have found some on IF to be anywhere from annoying to obnoxious. But I have also found some who are really very nonjudgmental and fun to debate or discuss with. Worst case scenario I walk away from a discussion if I feel the other person is being too much. But I wouldn't call it paying a price, not in any way shape or form.


At the end of the day these are filthy rich actors who don't even know I exist. I'm not gonna any lose any sleep over them. Not even Aamir Khan or Sid 😉.

What kinda price wld I pay for being a fan of celebs??
No I didn't 😆
No one around me knows about BW, so I don't talk about BW with my family and friends...even the friends I made on this very forum, we never talk about actors and actresses
I like to troll BWS and do some times pass...but I leave things here, yes we argue about celebs, we disagree on things but that's abt it, no price to pay..

As far as HW is concerned
I love Paul, and no one in my family or friends dislike him :)
And even if they did, it wldnt have bothered me at all

People here would put a celeb before you despite claiming to be your 'friend'.

PAY? 😆

If I like an actor..i have my reasons. If someone else dislikes..he has his reasons. As simple as that. My eyes see something, his eyes see something else. Let the other criticise as much as they want... It never affects me. Just like I like the taste of orange and some don't.. Can we argue/debate on it's taste?

Yes there are people that take criticism of their favourite personally.. If it's my friends I only mildly state my opinion and avoid saying much especially when I feel it'd "hurt" them...say things like "oh really"/blah blah blah. My family on the other hand really likes gossiping and we enjoy sharing these conflicting views.. Point of difference with so-called friends warrants unnecessary discussions/conflicts/coldness that I hate..

Oh, I forgot once happened some people I genuinely thought were friends, shared some personal information I shared with them, so Sonam fans can get back at for bashing her..as much as this effected me
I don't call it paying a price..
Cuz I'm happy that I got to know their real faces and how cheap people can get for stupid fan wars n celebs 😆
So I call it a blessing that they out of my life
And it also taught to never trust anyone that easily
So I'm rather grateful Lol
