Yes, as other people have told you before, lots of us share those problems. For you to explain it all like that has opened up my eyes a bit more. I did have some confusing feelings about it and you just pretty much threw them out there (Which is a very good thing) and that has me agreeing with everything that's the show is about. Nostalgia, but that everyone is equal and special in their own right.
I'm afraid to tell my friends as well, PLUS my brother doesn't like the show either. (He watched Season 1 and 2, still hates it. Only watched it so he can legitimately bash it.) So, from me to you, continue to watch the show if you really like it. Never let those people get to you and I'm going to try to do the the same, even though I'm quite a softie.. I love it and the show only gets better and helps me realize my feelings torward my friends. (Sheesh, I cried a few times.)
If you ever want to talk, I'm always here to lend an arm to my fellow pony. You don't have to hide anything..
