Bencharmer Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 I "stanned" quite some singers, actors and influencers in my life. Over the years, i realised it was quite an unhealthy behaviour. From the "die hard stan" syndrome to "trying to identify to him/her/them." Right now, when it comes to singers, i just care about the music and that's it. I prefer seeing them as people who bring you a service (good music) rather than as idols to worship. I think it's important to consider them as equals to us. Consciously or subconscious, most of us take them as superior entities (and ofc the industry game is to make us feel so)
PrettyHurts Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 I tried to unstan Beyoncé but it was impossible because she’s too perfect
KnightOfAllRealms Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 It's hard, I fold upon seeing a super attractive individual and glorify them
Cain Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 I truly stan Dua but I agree with the last bit, I see her more as someone I’m really grateful for bringing me such a level of entertainment continuesly than as someone I worship. However I do greatly admire her work ethic and politics and try to bring that into my own life
Arthoe Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Congrats, you overcame stan brain rot, you'll be happier on the other side. None of this stanning matters when the planet will go to sh*t in a few years and governments are gonna collapse worldwide because of climate change induced civil wars Edited June 15, 2022 by Arthoe

Luvvydubby Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 it is indeed a very healthy lifestyle some here should take notes
TheShowoff Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Lol they are very much our equals and in a way they are jesters for us but somehow we allowed them to make more money than most of us.
Robyn. Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 It happens the older you get. Different priorities and you grow up to be your own person.
Brando Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Ye I realised that in my teens. No one is worthy of "stanning". I have my faves, but I don't owe them anything

I have my faves, but I don't owe them anything Its pretty much a "parasocial collab"... We give them streams, money, praise and add a brick on the path that make them famous. In exchange they give us music, emotions, visuals... Edited June 15, 2022 by Bencharmer
LustSpell Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 you dropped stan culture bullshit, congratulations! it's always a great feeling
Prisoner Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 It happens once you get older and have a job/life/etc. Of course not everyone is like that. See BTS army leader miss rafael (something) for example its also not a good thing to take stanning seriously once you're an adult
Save My Life Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 I stopped stanning ages ago, even my own faves. Now I just laugh at all of them.
