We all have a friend that is so obsessed with something that we worry about their mental health. Maybe you are that person. I know I am . I have been this way since I fell in love with *NSYNC when I was about 5, and throughout my life my obsessions have changed. I don't mind being known as a fangirl, but I do have some confessions that I think other fangirls and boys can relate to.

1. I do not think I am going to marry the person.

I might go into a dream state and think about it for 2.2 seconds, but I do not believe it. They are famous. I am not. Or they might be fictional people. I know what is plausible and what isn't.

2. Understand that I will talk about my obsession all the time.

If news breaks about a movie, you will know about it. If they post on social media, you will know about it and get sent the picture. If we are friends, our group chats will be filled with GIFs of them. Get used to it.

3. I will post about them on social media.

Every platform, everyday. There will be something related to my fandom on social media to let the world, and my Internet friends, know what is going on.

4. Don't judge me for dropping everything to see them.

I will spend $100 for a meet and greet. It is the price I am willing to pay to meet the person I fangirl over. Please don't tell me it is too much or that it is stupid because to me, it means a lot.

5. I have other interests.

This isn't the only thing in my life. I like other things, and I know about what is happening in the world. I am not sheltered or tied down to this one aspect of my life. It is a part of me, but not all of me.

6. I wish you would try to seem interested.

Not having a fellow fangirl to talk about things with is hard. If you are my friend, please seem a bit interested. I might talk about them too much, but I need someone to understand that and want to listen to me ramble.

7. I make friends when I go to events.

I love making other fangirl/fanboy friends at events. Movie premieres, meet and greets, CD signings — all kinds of people are there. I like to strike up a conversation with these people because they understand.

8. I get over emotional.

My favorite character died? He cut his hair? They chose him for that character? Just know if something bad happens, I will be in mourning for a while. This is normal.

9. I will wear fandom related clothing.

If you don't want to be seen with me, then it is your loss. I look good in an Avengers T-shirt.

10. I love being a fangirl.

I might get heat for it. I might get made fun of for it, but in the end, I love everything about it. I love my fandom, and I don't care who knows it.

11. I know you all have a fandom too.

We are all secretly obsessed with something. Today, we can follow our favorite celebrities and see every move they make. You might not be out and proud about what you are obsessed with, but you know, deep down, you secretly have one
