Why do people make fun of Celine fans?

May 11, 2011 at 01:53 AM

Always keep at least one person close who likes celine, we all need people who understand the 'obsession' lol.

Yeah, but do you ever feel like even people who like her, that no one quite gets it like you do? Even here? Do you all ever still at times think/wonder if you're the only one and others like her, but just not quite like you?

May 11, 2011 at 02:40 AM

Of course... Like with everything. But at least, we know that we all like her. It's the same with songs we like or dislike. We may have some different opinions about good or bad songs, but at the end, we all love Celine singing them... :yes:

Um, yeah!!!! i mean i have celine on such a personal level, like if someone says something bad about her I get offended and take it personally. And honestly, not a lot of people my age like her so i feel alone sometimes, even though my bff likes her. But still...

Even Celine fans make fun of Celine fans. :laugh:

May 12, 2011 at 05:48 AM

Exactly !!! That's what I said with the quote "You need to be the change you want to see in the world" by Mahatma Gandhi... If we make fun of each other, what can we expect other people to do?? :hmm:

It saddens me that Celine fans make fun of each other. If you aske me, this is supposed to be a safe haven from that. Since this topic was created by someone who's experienced it to help them know how to cope, and I for one have also and so have many of us, that's what I was afraid of coming here. That's what I am trying to get away from and this ought to be the one place I don't get this. We can disagree with one another's opinions etc. but make fun of each other for the same love of the same amazing singer? That's like one child making fun of his sibling because of their common mother's deformity or omething. It's ridiculous us making fun of each other. It's like my arm biting my other one off. We're all part of her, we're the reason in part that she does this. And we know how much she likes large families, that's kinda what we are, and how much she loves her own. I think she'd hate that we're doing this.

It's true, be the change we want to see. I think we can begin to be the example to the bigger, larger world out there whose parts and members are warring. If we can do it here, we can take it out there to our individual lives and worlds and make this place better, like she talks about and like we all want. We first need to quit judging ourselves, then each other. We need to make CDF a safe place where people like me who've gotten this our whole damn lives can feel safe/free to share even our most intimate ways of loving her and showing it that anyone else would laugh at but we kNOW we won't experience that here. That's my aim/goal ideally for this place.

May 12, 2011 at 06:53 PM

Go Christina! I totally agree with you! You're just so right (again!)!

You are so right. We may be scared to show our love in the real world and that's okay because we know in our hearts and souls that we love her just as much even if we are a little affraid to show it to everybody but here, we shouldn't need to be scared of being judged.

I agree with you. All of us should be in harmony. But well, no one is perfect so we just have to understand each other too.

May 14, 2011 at 11:45 PM

yes! and I really hate it.

When people find out I'm a Céline fan, they always beging to express their feeling for Céline, hate or love.
And then they make sure I know that I'm too old to be a fan and that my music taste sucks (from those who don't like Céline)

That's why I never tell people that I'm a fan and VERY few people know I'm travelling to Las Vegas to see her in March.
I just know the reaction I will get,

you are nuts! spending all that money on her, bla bla bla.

That's why I just keep it to myself

I understand you! I told two close co-workers that I am going to Vegas soon..my family will freak out when they find out I spent so much to go to Celine's concert for couple hours and come back the same day... :pinch: :in_love:

May 14, 2011 at 11:46 PM

I know what you mean. Some girl at school (who loves her math book so dearly) told me it was a waste of money.

May 15, 2011 at 04:29 PM

they may not have what we have :kicking:

May 21, 2011 at 08:19 PM

I've long given up trying to understand why anyone makes fun of another's choices and decisions. As far as I'm concerned, it's their loss, not mine.

May 21, 2011 at 08:44 PM

I think the same way. It's their problem! :yes:

May 21, 2011 at 11:50 PM

It's like "Live and let live !!! Let them say wahtever they want, you know you're right !!! :yes:

May 22, 2011 at 01:27 AM

I think that's why Celine can be how she is. She knows she is talented, she surrounds herself with people who keep telling her that, she has that knowledge stored inside her and has since she was little, and she does not seem to care what people think of her. If you love her, great, if not, she knows who she is, she is secure within herself and you can't knock her off that. So maybe we should think about following her example, in this aspect and in our other aspects of personal life.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. - Judy Garland

May 22, 2011 at 09:13 AM

Guys will really make fun to a guy who likes Celine Dion

May 22, 2011 at 09:27 AM

Hu cares about what others think????

May 22, 2011 at 09:43 AM

Hu cares about what others think????

sometimes, it really matters. You don't want to be called gay right?

and it's like a turn off on women if they would know you like Celine.

May 22, 2011 at 02:06 PM

Oh really? Did you ask every woman in the world that? Cuzz to me, that would be a turn-on. That would already tell me a lot about you right then and there about what kind of person you are. I would find that quite attractive/endearing, not to mention we'd have things in common already.

I'm sorry guys make fun of other guys. It's a balancing act, because yes who cares what others think, but also, sometimes it hurts too much not to care. So we have to find out how to make it all work together.

And thanks for the Judy Garland quote, fernando. I'd never heard it before.

May 22, 2011 at 05:36 PM

I try not to care as much as I can but sometimes it hurts, even though I tell myself that it's all worth it I can't help to care just a tiny bit. It doesn't mean I love her less though.

well, maybe not all of them but i can feel it's a bit shameful to say it. I prefer them to discover it. My x-girlfriend knew this and she was like chuckling and i just tell her to stop and don't tell anybody. hehehe. :-D

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves. - François Duc de La Rochefoucauld

May 28, 2011 at 06:52 AM

That's true, too.

I also agree about making people discover it themselves that I love her, and if they find it a turn-off, then let them, they obviously weren't right for me and worthy to be in my life if they cannot accept such a fundamental part of me!

I love the part when you said "fundamental part" cos it's true. Celine is also a fundimental part of me.

Ok so i know i'm only 16 but i've still had similar experiences to one's shared on this topic. When i was 11, i started secondary school and my first class was english with a lovely teacher. Anyway our first task was to introduce ourselves with our name and a fact about ourselves, i answered with "Hi my name's emma and i'm a HUGE celine dion fan" of course everyone laughed and the teacher began askign questions about why i was a fan and that she couldn't believe an 11year old girl could like celine dion. By christmas we were doing a project about titanic and surprise surprise, i knew everything about it! anyway, people began to realise i was a celine fan through and through and at the end of that year the same english teacher went to vegas. and she brought me back a celine keyring! Actually the coolest teacher ever i think you'll all agree! After that i began being more open about being a celine fan, i wore t-shirts to school and hoodies and read books about herand I wrote english essays about her - getting an a* of course! I still had people making comments about being a fan but when i started upper school last year everyone accepted me. For english we all got asked to produce a presentation on something that intrested us, i did celine! we were given a 5minute time slot, but mine took up 45minutes of the hour long lesson. Eveyone laughed at how much i knew about her and i took in my celine collection of merchandise, The whole two boxes of it! Afterwards the class demanded that i put one of her dvd's on and listen to a few songs, i put a new day in and the entire class danced to "i'm alive". My classes were really accepting of me and i even managed to turn a few people into celine fans, most days someone asks me how celine and the twins are doing and are genuinely concerned. It's really nice to know i might have made a difference to people's attitudes, i mean even my teacher brought in a cake on celine's birthday and we all listened to her sing! My identity now is celine, everyone around school knows me as the "celine girl" and i'm proud of it!

I left school about a month ago now and every single person who wrote in my leaver's book mentioned celine in one way or another. One teacher wrote me a paragraph and used celine songs through it, here it is:

"The first time ever i saw your face" was in year 7 and "in some small way" you have come so far in that time. What will i remember when i think of you? "it's all coming back to me now" - a myriad of memories- beginning with a huge box of memorabilia of celine, book loans galore, fantastic coloured pens, heart to hearts at difficult times, a gorgeous collage of our literature class, an impromptus sleepover at London with all your friends, friendship ups and downs and bag packs. "these are special times" and need remembering as such. "The power of the dream" can guide you along the way. "a new day has come" as we prepare to say goodbye and "goodbye's the saddest word" but "that's the way it is" and has to be as you find one door is closing as another opens. "I believe in you" - you need to believe in yourself. You will go far and achieve a "miracle".

Your "heart will go on"- Be true to it!

I love the amount of effort she put into this! it really shows she cares i'm a celine fan! i just thought it was nice to share. :wub:

I hope this helps show that if people are really meant to be in your life and are worth the time and effort then they'll accept you for exactly who you are and your interests; and if not then i wouldn't waste your time or effort on them! :-D

I hear ya!!! Its sooo tru, sometimes I feel I'm the only one who's extremely crazy about Celine and I think about her ALOT,I mean I've liked her for a very very long time and trust me its NOT aphase cause thats what a lot of people thought at the beggining of my 'fanhood' that I'll get over it, but I did'nt!!!! Thank God!!! :-D
