My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Rainbow Dash

How did you find MLP Forums?: Google

How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: A few years ago I heard about this little known subculture called bronies. I scoffed when I inquired about it. Grown men and women who are fans of a children's show? How absurd I thought.

 

Let me take you on a jurney into my past. This is a topic I guard very dearly and few are privy to it.

 

I attended a middle school in which the same 30 or so kids came thru grades together. From kindergarten through 8th grade I was in a class of the same kids.I was also an only child and had no friends. Now many people have told me they also had no friends but then say how they had good acquaintances who they at least ate luch together and such. This was not me. I had no one. I was always alone so I was naturally the easy target of bullies and jokes. I often got blamed for things other people did. I even got beat up a few times.

 

I graduated. Finnaly I will be in high school, I thought, free of those wretched kids who had made my adolescence hell. Everything will be different I imagined. It was not.

 

I found it very hard to make friends because a hadn't the skills to do so. I was also very distrustful of those who got too close.

 

I managed to get by and graduated but not after a break down and suicide attempt.

 

I left and went to a community college where for the first time I found that people are not ALL bullies and acctually managed to make friends.

 

completely dissolution and with no idea of what I wanted I dropped out of college. I live with my parents and by going to emo shows found my first real of friends.

 

they were a rowdy sort. Uncouth and disrespectful but they accepted me. I hung around with no direction no ambition and little self respect. this was a vast improvement from high school. after many years of drugs, fast girls and the drama it finally drove me away from my first little group of friends.

 

Again I was alone. I decided that I needed to do something with my life so I went back to school this time for audio production where I learned that a degree in audio production is about as useful as canadian money in american vending machines.

 

I left and started a booking company where put on shows. I was mildly successful but in industry in which all success is generated by the ability to make friends and connections I was doomed from the start. I did however meet my sweetheart with whom I now have a beautiful son.

 

now let me explain something all I have all million interests. and I don't find it difficult to talk to people as I have something in common with most. I however find it incredibly hard to truly connect with anyone. I forever identify as outcast.

 

it was then that I heard about my little pony and it unusual fan base. being my curious self I stumbled upon the documentary showcasing bronies. and to for whatever reason I needed to understand so watched the pilot.

 

finally I thought here is something the reasons unknown to me, that all I connect with.

 

I now work in im manufacturing plant where I make guns. Which is filled with exactly the type of super conservatives you would expect to find anywhere with lager numbers of guns. I also have a part time job in an auto parts store. needless to say there are no fans of the show in my life.

So I am here and for the first time in maybe ever I don't feel like an outcast.

See above

I'm trepidatious about being a fan but I'm willing to give it a try. Hoof bump!!

Hey there, welcome to the forums!  I've been very isolated too for most of my life- still am, in a way. I had so many innocent expectations of the world, and each of them was crushed as I got further on in life, until I gradually had nothing left to trust... Here, though, in this community that I had never expected to exist, based around a show I had not anticipated to thrive like it has, I've felt like an outsider not once in my time here I hope you enjoy your stay in this friendly community, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
