Perfect_Harmony 58 January 31, 2012 Share January 31, 2012 Being a newer brony I can't help myself from being addicted to this show. Addicted meaning re-watching almost every episode over and over. I can't get that darn winter wrap up song out of my head (which isn't entirely that bad) and I just wish I could get some friends to convert over so we can all talk about it. With all this swelling up inside of me, I am going to need some way to ventilate it out sooner or later. Any ideas? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrooveBroove 680 January 31, 2012 Share January 31, 2012 Well you have everyone here in the forums to talk to! But I'm right there with you especially about converting some friends. From the look of things that just isn't going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizz. 1,078 January 31, 2012 Share January 31, 2012 Just tell your friends about the show and make them watch it. I did that and we share many pony lolz, whether they like it or not. c: http://alt="img-3411728-1-kQpW0ME.png"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect_Harmony 58 January 31, 2012 Author Share January 31, 2012 Hehe. Thanks guys, I'm just scared of not being accepted, or being labeled an outcast. We have a... "history" of what happens to bronies at my school. It's not pretty let me say. Believe me, I don't want to be a closet brony and at this point I'm even scared to tell my family.

Lol, who gives a flying fuck? Internet is real life too, and we are all real people.

If people want to be asshole because you like ponies, let them be ignorant assholes. You know, you have a very good point. If people don't want to accept who you are then just don't bother with them. The only thing for me though is I don't know if I could deal with the constant criticisms that would follow. What I'm really looking for here is if anyone else is open about their bronyism. If you are, please explain how you were able to overcome what people thought of you. I always think of myself as an outgoing person, but I'm not sure If it is really worth risking my social life. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think? I am the most open brony you will ever meet. I wear my Rd hat to school, my Vinyl Scratch scarf, My RD necklace and lanyard and my Mane 6 Bracelet. (My woona Necklace broke) People at school say I have the biggest balls in the world because I could give two shits what people think of me. Just today my teacher told me I am the pure definition of individualism. What you need to do is say to yourself- "If they won't accept me for who I am, then fuck them. I am who I am, and nothing will change that. I will never follow the norm that our generation follows. I am my own person." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think? I am quite like you and a new brony too(since 1 month) so I know the situation Iam a closet brony myself, but if I were open about it, either nopony would give a shit, or they would think of me as being totally nuts/gay. But that's because I live in a small town in kind of a small country where nopony has even heard of the show :/ So nothing's wrong with keeping it secret and at least at the forums you will always find people to talk about ponies, but if mlp could be popular where you live you should give opening up a try and find fellow bronies. Also if you can get subtle shirts that tell bronies that you like ponies and that haters wouldn't recognize can help OC was made by Princess Ariona.

Colon Leftbracket 971 January 31, 2012 Share January 31, 2012 I never truly got addicted to the show myself. I've watched every episode (except Baby Cakes and the newer one) just once.

I told a friend about what I was and it went the exact opposite of good. I don't even know what he thinks of me as of now but it probably isn't good either. I should probably get over myself, but I can't help but think what would happen if I were to lose it all. I can't really control it and I almost feel like blurting it out to everyone I know. It's too bad that the world won't open up to this type of show. It's like a drug, but the drug is.... happiness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand this. I feel like I just want to shout out to everybody that Iam a brony. Maybe after I've done something cool or awesome I'll tell everypony.

I'm in a similar situation when it comes to this... I think finding other bronies would be better than trying to explain things to friends/family, at least for me. Although I would go with Rose's ideas if you'll feel better about letting people know. Awesomeness = at least 20% Cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how that is. While my friends don't care that I watch MLP, they sure aren't going to be jumping in with me. But a IMO for your friend to judge you like that is a bit messed up.

This is my type of thinking, I've never wanted to be like the rest of my generation. So what if someone thinks your "uncool" for liking something different, or acting different, it don't matter what they think its what you think. ;P "The Southern Gentleman" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect_Harmony 58 January 31, 2012 Author Share January 31, 2012 A lot of good points here. I guess the world could be less close minded than I think. I'd like nothing more than to be completely open with all people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comet Tail 808 January 31, 2012 Share January 31, 2012 Hah, yeah. I'm a closet brony, too. What's funny is I'm pretty outgoing with one set of friends I know from church, but almost totally silent with anyone at school. Probably has more to do with the fact I haven't been friends with the school group for more than three years (except for one person, and a few others I knew back in 1-4th and 6th grade...), but the friends from church I've known since I was small. But anyways, the result is one social circle, I won't say anything, but if they find out I won't really care, I don't think they will, either. One guy might actually catch on, though (he was Bob the builder for halloween one year, and Steve from Blu's Clues another. Both times over the age of 16 lol), and another might think I'm odd, but nothing big. But the other social circle, the school, they'd probably react like what you said. Small town, out in the country, not very open-minded... Oh, yes, fuel for your addiction right here: Muahahaha.

Apple Bloom 2,933 January 31, 2012 Share January 31, 2012 (edited) I used to be a closet brony but people started noticing me watching it and especially noticed when I started buying merchandise. I basically gauged their reactions and when I noticed they accepted it I became more open with it. So I would suggest bringing it up somehow, not neccessarily making it clear that you're a brony, and gauge their reaction to it. Edited January 31, 2012 by Apple Bloom Signature by @Nico.
