Closet Bronies UNITE: Experiences and Discussion

[spaceboy14 2]

It is sad that people have to hide who they really are for fear on being judged and mocked.

Well, let me tell you my story...

 

I am an average 21 year old. I have chosen to do and not do certain things and to live a certain lifestyle. I am a man of faith, and can be very intellectual and "normal". I work in customer service, and can talk to anybody.

 

But I think I have it easy:

 

Because when I eat too much sugar or caffeine, I parade around the room, laughing at every possible thing, pull my shirt up over my head and yell "I AM THE GREAT CORNHOLIO" and other shenanigans. So naturally, when I tell people I am a brony, they really don't mind. And if they do, I don't mind. Cause they know I am already weird: as I am the most humble, kind, yet over analystic and interesting character when eating too much sugar. So conclusion, BE YOURSELF! Just be you. It's worked out for me so far

 

And one time at work, I mentioned to a co-worker "Man, having a ten minute break right now would make things 20% cooler." He stopped me and said, "You know where that's from, right". I said "I do. If you know where it's from, that is awesome!". He said= "I SURE DO". I smiled and reached out my fist = "Brohoof?". He jumped up and said "YES! I am so glad you said something!" So if you also want to make some friends that share similar interest, take caution and use pick up lines. Non-bronies won't know

 

And next week, a decal of Rainbow Dash wearing sunglasses is going on my Acura Integra's passenger back window = Not a closet brony. haha

 

EDIT: I am not implying that bronies are weird! All I am saying is that it's easier for me to just be myself, cause I am already "unique" if you will. ha

But the 20% cool phrase seams so well know by so many people wont nonbronies even know what that is?

I used  to hide the fact that I loved MLP from my family, but eventually I decided to overcome my fear of them rejecting me and it turns out that things went well when I did that - they accepted the fact that I loved MLP.
