:agree:

Anyone else tired of being mocked and misunderstood for their love of Michael?
My family and friends ( apart from my son aged 22yrs) are waiting for me to get over what they think is a 'phase' for missing MJ so much! :doh:

''How can you be so upset over a pop star dying?'' etc etc.

FFS Michael wasnt just a pop star, he was and IS the king of pop, and MJ as a person is someone to totally admire.

Michaels early passing isnt something that I can 'get over' as he felt like he was my brother.
He sang ''you are my brothers'' ................:) ......:-(

Losing MJ is a serious LOSS, and tired of being mocked. :-(

:(anyone agree?
 
I have been fortunate enough to be around people who know exactly what I'm going through. To me, Michael was like a father and I'll never stop loving him.

Thanks Hardcastle for your reply. :)

For me MJ is like my brother cos of my age! :)

I am only 8 yrs younger than he.

My son is the only one who really understands and agrees with me.

Everyone else thinks I am stark raving mad. :-(
 
I suggest expressing your love for Michael only to those who understand, and are supportive.

Are any of your family or friends Elvis fans if they're older than you? How did they feel when he passed away? I'm not asking you to tell me the answer but if they are Elvis fans, bring it up to them and ask them how they felt. I'm sure they will remember their sadness very well and that they still get sad at the thought that Elvis isn't around.
 
Thanks for your reply lovelymj ( great name by the way!)
No my family and friends are not old enough to be of the Elvis era.

My son is the only one who knows and understands as I introduced him to MJ 12yrs ago when he was just 10yrs old. :)

My 1st grand daughter was BORN TODAY- 29th July- just 1 month before MJ passed. :-(

I'll be telling her all about MJ and introducing her to his music and wonderful talents be sure of that!!!

As it's already been said..... one day we will know that Michael Jackson fans hadnt even been born when he died. :-(

Forever King of Pop.

Small comfort to have lived with him in his era....... :)

Must go to bed now as in UK. :)
 
I feel your pain, even my Mum keeps rolling her eyes and I had to remind her of what she was like when Freddie Mercury died, she then realised how I was feeling and is now really interested in his work, music, bideos, and most of the TRUTH about his skin etc

She now appreciates him and understands him.

I suppose anyone who cannot relate will always give you grief, purely because they dont understand, but who cares YOU are more important, and we are all here for you

xx

PS congrats Billie on the grand daughter - what's her name?
 
I've already lost a friend over his passing.

People will never understand the connection he had with his fans.

I can't even TELL you how many of friends think that I'm going through a phase. Some of them are being respectful about it but they also believe it's just a phase along with the other friends who are being rude about it. I'm sick of it. Michael has made a huge impact, not just on me and you, but MILLIONS of people around the world. People really need to realize what he means to people and what he has done and tried to do for this world. He was so much more than just a "pop star" or an entertainer. To me, he's one of the biggest inspirations in my life. I've made so many changes because of him.

Ugh, some people. I'm totally with you on this one. Don't let what they say affect you though. You know what Michael meant to you and what he means to so many other people in the world. :)
 
i'm not being mocked, just not understood by some friends so i try not to mention anything regarding Michael in front of them
though mom herself cried over him specially when watching the memorial
she doesn't want me to cry anymore because of my LASIK surgery
(2 weeks after he died she came into my room & found my eyes all red & puffy, she asked if i was still crying, i said yes, she said you have to stop that, i don't want you to hurt your eyes) so now i cry when no body is home
 
No one gets just what an influence he's had on me :( They still sometimes say things that get to me.
 
i've been mocked for that reasons so many times i can't even count... i don't care ...i never hided that and i've always been proud of loving him. Michael gave me strength to carry on each miserable day of my life. thanks to him i am a better person. so every time i get mocked for loving mike i raise my head and step bold and insults become reasons to go on
 
I know what you all mean.....to be honest, all my life people have made fun of me for my taste in music (I don't mean this as a sob story, but I've always felt like I've had to defend the fact that I like pop music, and it gets a little tiring).. so I'm used to having to choose who I express my emotions to. In the end, I've decided that I honestly don't care what other people think of me; I'm myself, I don't choose what music or artists inspire me. People like MJ, who inspire and uplift me, become part of who I am, and I'm proud of that. If someone else can't understand that, they're missing out on something really powerful and special.
Have faith in yourself, and come here to be with people who nderstand you :better:
 
Well, being mocked for my love for Michael used to be my everyday life, so I know how you feel... After his passing I haven't really talked that much to some of my friends, since it's summer holidays and all, but I guess they wouldn't be very supportive if I actually did...

My family understands, my best friend is going through the same thing as me, and the friends I've actually talked to sad they're sorry and all, but they don't know all of my pain and how much this actually hurt me.
If they did they would probably think I'm insane.

I actually said to one of my friends one time on MSN that I cried alot, that was during the memorial and he was like huh? and that's when I said nevermind I'm going to watch the memorial.
Since then I haven't talked to him that much the rest of my so called friends don't even know how I feel.
 
This mocking is somethig us MJ fans have to live through, and it makes us a much more stronger and militant community which separates us from most other fanship groups. We're so much more supportive and solid, and our affinity is bolder and thicker skinned as well. We understand you here. I too have been mocked for my fanship of MJ. It upset me, but at the same time has made me closer to Michael himself.

Aww Andy.
Thanks for your reply to my post.
It reminds me of when I fell out with an old school friend when I became a Christian, she couldnt handle my love for JC......................now folks that are close to me ( apart from my son) dont understand my pain and love for MJJ. :doh:
They ridicule me and try to be little me but at the end of the day it is them who lose out on knowing and understanding the most gentle soul and humatarian who walked this planet. :yes:

His music and dance anyone can appreciate.........but go deeper and feel his soul.........a deeper level............maybe only a few really see that?

:wub:

Oh Neeve, that is beautiful thank you. :yes:
Do you feel like MJ inspired you as in he chose you?
I know that many might disagree but MJ has the most Christ -like qualities of any man who walked this earth apart from JC himself. :)
 
I just ignore the idiots. I know what I like, and I am not ashamed of it. Luckily, my whole family likes MJ and the J5, so do a lot of my friends.

for me is more like ... those people don't exist.
compared to them Mike is a billion light-years of evolution away. they can't comprehend his greatness. they are not phisically able to do that. so ... in my eyes they don't exist.

Ha!!! Youre not alone in this darling, i've been getting this kind of comments since Michael's death, from some friends and even family..
My ex told me the other day, "Get over it Nath, Michael Jackson is death, stop suffering, this is silly"
My aunt says he wasnt your family stop crying blah blah, and my brother who got pretty sad about his loss, told me the same youre being stupid, get a life, come to work blah blah get a boyfriend so you can think about something else" grrrrrrrrr That really hurt me!

The thing is, i cant stop feeling this way, is who i am, i cant pretend i didnt get sad and depressed because his death, i would be lying to myself. And like all of you im not ashamed of showing my grieve, i know the people that i can share my pain, and it has been really helpful for me tot talk to them these past weeks like my mom and cousin.. Im trying not to hang out with people " or so called friends" that i know doesnt care about MJ at all, so its easier that way.

i just do my best to ignore them and try not let it upset me. I just think of all the good things that Michael did and try to realize not everyone has open minds. I'm just glad that we have here to come to to talk to others or be there to listen when someone needs to just let it all out *big hugs to all*
