Has Being a Brony Changed Your Life? How?

[TheDashingRainbow 134]

Yup! Great support from my family when they found out. I've been a closet brony to all my friends, though.. Becoming a brony has personally helped my life during a dark time as well. 

[Not_active 732]

I stopped judging people for what they like...before I could scoff at someone who likes anime and wonder how they can like something that lame.

It changed my life

When I 1st became a brony, till today,,in my mind are only ponies

[Alex Z 848]

Yes, it's improved my life. MLP helps me whenever I'm in a bad mood.

  Becominga brony made me become more confident of myself due to the fact that I have the balls to admit that I like a show that was made for little girls. It has also gained me alot more friends as well as introducing me to an awesome community (for the most part).

[lync 68]

It did but not much.

I mostly grew stronger bonds with my friends.

[Sunny Shimmer 259]

Became a happier, more kind person. Before life was kind of dull and sad.

In real life, I just hide it and keep it a secret and never speak a word about it so it works out even though my sister has tried telling everyone she can.

Well at first I had a good friend that loved mlp and I thought it was wierd but he told me to try the show and since then I have loved every moment of it and I had never though that a guy like me woukd become a brony  but now were are best of friend peace mlp ppl$_$

I have to say mlp changed my life but only in a small way. I'm more of a closet brony because people suck a lot but it has given me a more open minded look at other people who like "baby" shows or products. My friend really likes this show "ever after high" and if I weren't a brony, I would definitely make fun of her. At least a little bit. 

[Tilt 286]

To be honest, not a whole lot, I was a nerdy geeky goofball before MLP and my friends knew it, I got into MLP and guess what, I'm still a nerdy geeky goofball that just so happens to like mlp.

when i first discovered my little pony friendship is magic i was pretty depressed but pinkie pie and her silly antics brought a smile to my face and i have laughed and have grown to love the show and the fandom that surrounds it

[Tilt 286]

Didn't really change me all that much to be brutally honest, I just found another dorky title to add to my repertoire lol.

i imagine its the same for a lot of people like when i started watching anime it was just something that kinda happened

Well I watch a lot of different kinds of animation and am in a lot of sub-fandoms, MLP is one of them and possibly the biggest one I'm in.

[Xeltor23 704]

Well, they didn't really change anything for me as well

[Lisa 5,553]

Well 90% of my deviantART account is now ponies.

[Moonlight 7,286]

I now have less money than before and everything I draw turns into a pony not even halfway through.

Hello @mindfracture!

 

As your topic was identical to ones posted by @SnipSnap and @jacibobsthebrony, I went ahead and merged yours with the other two. In the future please remember to use the forum search function or to use the Google site search by using site:mlpforums.com.

 

Thank you and have a good day.

[Sceethe 704]

well... no, not really, i think.

 

except that i began to draw, but i´d probably draw anyways, just not ponies.

 

BUT..

i am saying this now, already a part of this community.

It´s hard for me to say how life would look without the fandom(not that i am a big part of it anyway), so i probably shouldn´t say something like that so thoughlessly.

 

Maybe it did change my life, but i just don´t know it.

[KiwiPony 125]

I say goodness and heck. That's a big thing for me! Before MLP I wouldn't have ever talked like that. But it's mostly been good, I've always been happy and positive about, well, anything but now even more so!

[RainbowTashie 378]

yes i have no money and i'm posting on this forum i'd say it has

[Shadowmoth2011 150]

I'm kind of in the middle in this. Bronyhood itself didn't really change my life, but MLP DID set me on the track to discovering numerous shows and fandoms which DID end up changing my life, and I probably wouldn't have found them without MLP. 

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

It has absolutely changed it for the better and has pulled me out of some really tough mental times for me. I’m so genuinely happy to be a part of this incredible fandom and to have made the friends that I’ve made. 

[Rosy Moonlight 369]

Being a brony changed who I am as a fangirl.

It helped me be more courageous with what I love, and be more open with what to enjoy.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Being a brony has totally changed my life due to the fact that it opened my eyes to just how judgemental this world can be. Yes, let me be honest. Being a brony changed the way I think about others around. It allowed me to view things in a completely different perspective because it gave me the drive to be more compassionate and kind to one another. I'm a Christian, a firm believer of Jesus Christ. When watching MLP, I could see the messages that are preached, because really, you have to have to the eyes of a child but the mind of a wise man to truly get all that MLP teaches. My parents kept telling me to "grow up" and that MLP was for little girls. I pushed through, and it only made me stronger. It takes trusting yourself to be a brony, and I've had plenty of moments where. doubted that I'd make it to the end of the show, but here I am. Thanks to MLPF, a loving community with passionate and like-minded people, and the other bronies I've met, it has truly been a journey for me. I wouldn't have even imagined myself being a brony if I hadn't gone away to college for freshman year. That's why I say sometimes, all it takes is one.
