Daring_Do 552 July 1, 2015 Share July 1, 2015 Ah. Jumped ship, then? Was going to suggest Episcopalianism, but if you've left the faith totally, that's cool. Kind of atheist myself, haven't been inside a church in years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Yellow Diamond 925 July 1, 2015 Share July 1, 2015 I'm going to have to say my social life, no, most definitly not. I have really bad anxiety about people finding out and I've distanced myself away from the few people I've told in risk of doing something wrong they reveal it. As much as I love MLP and the bronies here, as well as this great site and the staff and the show and everything... the whole "being a brony" thing has put me on edge and caused me anxiety and for anyone who knows me. Anxiety and I, are polar opposites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintenboy195 384 July 1, 2015 Share July 1, 2015 Yes, this community, show , toys ( the waifus •3•)and everything made me feel more confident and happy. my real life is not a happy one and I'd used to think that online forums would help me get through bad times and comfort me, but it didn't. I just felt worse, (note to everypony, don't join the Mario modding community, you will cry! ) then one day, my friend showed me a video called smile HD, it was amazing, foozogz' music, the animation quality, everything. I wanted to know who these characters were, and what they do. Then after watching the first two episodes, I felt better, happier, more hopeful... I don't know why, but I just do... I feel like maybe this community will be better than the others, less judging, more open arms, and it was. I hope that I can contribute to this community/fandom someday. Thank you for reading my silly filly post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet_S 785 July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 It really has, i made a lot of new friends and became a little bit more social. It really shocked me how much someone can change with a show like this 1 Let the rainbow remind you, that together we will always shine~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catnet 9,357 July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 The show led me to the fandom that helped improve my social life, if that counts? Otherwise, it hasn't helped too much in that regard, in all honesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadAccount 4,604 July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 Yes it has or at least as far as an online social life Sig by My OC:Aqualuna Sea Splash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
----------------------- 171 July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 Eh, not really. I'm sure it helped others and that's a great thing; whatever works for something better. It's just a cartoon, so there's nothing impacting that made my social life change or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 It has neither affected my life positively or negatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arylett Charnoa 4,919 July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 It did for a time due to the fandom and not the show. But almost all of those friends disappeared off the face of the earth, weren't compatible with me, or turned out to be childish dickheads who hurt me quite a bit. So they're all gone now bar one. That's my internet life. I used to have so many friends and they've all kind of... gone over the years. But I don't blame MLP for that. It always happens. That's why I tend to be reluctant to make any more friends nowadays. My real life socialness though has improved because it was basically non-existent until the one friend who remained moved in with me. One is better than nothing!

RavenholmZombie 1,330 July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 Yes. Becoming a part of this fandom has made me several new friends. RavenholmZombie - Brony since 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted account 23 July 19, 2015 Share July 19, 2015 Well, the show explains morals about friendship which could help with social life. 1 This account is no longer in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunset's Shimmer 394 July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 Well, the show explains morals about friendship which could help with social life. Sounds about right. In general it doesn't help with my social life, especially because most people can't relate or understand how I have inspiration to socialize or better myself. If I tell them it's from MLP, it kind of does the opposite, seeing how 25% (If even that much) understand brony-ism or at least it doesn't bother them. Where as most other people look at you/treat you differently because of it. It does help inspire and build confidence within the fandom for me though, when I'm going through a tough time. I just watch Pinkie's smile song and it really helps. 1 Sunset Shimmer -----*and*----- Princess Luna Signature by Me, myself, and I Redemption ponies are best ponies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zantetsuken 364 July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 (edited) Not only has the show improved my social life but It changed my entire life... I have gained and lost friends since I began watching the show. I have a feeling that I would not be where I am today and be as content with my life as I'am if it were not for MLPFiM.

The Extemper 59 July 22, 2015 Share July 22, 2015 No, not really. I was only realy social online, especiallty after I became relly into the fandom a few years ago. I wasn't really socially active until I joined the debate team at my Highschool.

King of Canterlot 9,603 April 28, 2020 Share April 28, 2020 Well, I've been able to meet some very nice ponies here on the forums and over on discord, so that's a benefit! I would have never met some of the ponies I talk to now without the show or this fandom RA RA RASPUTIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicEnergy 23,222 July 10, 2020 Share July 10, 2020 Well, I've met some amazing friends online who love MLP, so without MLP I might not have met them at all. *totally not up to any shenanigans* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
