Slowly

[MJRockssMyWorld10]

becoming depressed, am sick of people laughin at me for being a Michael Jackson fan,
its getting me down, befor he died, peole new i was a fan and used to snigger at me and say

"oh i dont belive you how can you like him"
"hes a freak what do you see in him"
"Eee MJ, why do you like him"

And other nasty stuff some worse

When he died for about a week or two everyone was supportive,and was listen to his music and saying they like him

All of a sudden they have turned again, and and laugh and mock at me for liking Michael. I dont no what to do any more, i find myself sat on my own these days, iv always been quite shy and a bit reclusive maybe taht why people act like tihs but i dunno

I did a quiz on facebook "top 5 played songs on your itunes" and most of mine where MJ and people just commented them with horralbe comments, which i try to ignore so of which are from family am not going to repeat some of them on here they disgust me

But later on ill sit and think about what they have said and worry that they are laughing at me, and sniggering.

I have never really been a confident person and always seem to iscolate myself form people i get "bad vibes" from, i think alot about what people think aobut me i no i shouldnt but its just the way i am,

i never did take his daeth well like many other people but the sniggering and horrable people out there just make it worse. none of this makes any sense i just don't no what to do or think any more i dot seem to have anyone to turn to, so i thought i would come here for a bit of advice and support.

The best thing is to avoid/and/or ignore these people. They just make you angry

They are sheep...........it is like they are actually scared to like Michael Jackson ,it is so wierd. The 'freak' thing is so old now it's unbelievable

When I got my tickets to the shows I asked one of my friends if they wanted to come along. She said no...she "would have come if it were 20 years ago but not now because he scares me" wtf??? I couldn't find the words to respond, I was so stunned

whatever just ignore people, they can't tell you who to like!

Honey, I've been exactly where you are now when I was 12, and up to the age of 14.
I know how you feel, and I'm sending lots and lots of good vibes your way.
I've had rocks thrown at me for liking Michael - really! It was THAT bad.
So I know how that feels, and I can imagine how it must be even worse for you now, because of the recent happenings...
I know it seems hard to actually ignore these people, but that's unfortunately what you must do. That's what I was doing when it happened to me. It's difficult, because it seems like it's the world against you alone, but responding is only going to make it worse.
I had to respond occasionally when it got physical, because I'm not one to take things lying down, but when it's just verbal, then ignore it, don't acknowledge it, just let it go right over your head.
Remember that these people are not worth it - if they have no respect for your feelings and put you down like that, they do not deserve a single thought from you.
Chin up, honey - YOU KNOW BETTER!!!
Lots of love, and I'm here if you need to talk.:yes:

I've been in this situation too when I was younger. It was especially bad during the time of the allegations and the Bashir crap. I feel sorry for the people who don't have Michael music in their lives. Nobody is going to tell me who I should and shouldn't like! I know it's hard but try and ignore the remarks. If they don't get a reaction they'll move on to someone else. I know it can hurt though.... (((hugs)))

 

[A_Powerful_Mind]

Ignore them and don't let it get to you.

Besides...some people wouldn't notice the true beauty in a person if it walked up and peed on their leg.

Smile because you know the beauty that is Michael and you know the truth about who he was and what he means to the world.

I used to have the same problem with other MJ haters. I remember back when I was starting 7th grade a couple of weeks after the 93 allegations came out. As upset as I was over them I had to hide the fact that I was an MJ fan from those other kids. Because I was just so afraid of what those other kids might do to me. Well that only lasted a good couple of years until another kid have found out about me liking Michael. And every single day I step foot in to my high school. I would either be made fun of for liking Michael or they would make fun of Michael himself. For awhile I did try to ignore them and try not to let it bother me. But when it just kept on getting worst I had gotten more angrier about it. So during my last 2 years of high school I had spent really defending Michael. Because I just couldn't take the constant MJ hating anymore. I remember the school principle had once threaten to have me expelled from school because of the fights I would get in to because of me defending Michael. But I really didn't care because I would rather be expelled from school then having to deal with MJ haters every day. But now I am just back to ignoring the haters. If they want to read, hear and believe the tabloid garbage that is written about Michael let them. As a MJ fan I know what is true and what isn't true about Michael. I am just totally done having to deal with them anymore.

And I remember during my last few months of high school. I was in health class and we were having a mock wedding because we were learning about relationships and stuff. Well after that wedding we a reception. And I remember the one kid in my class was playing the music for the reception. I didn't like the music that was being played. So I went over to him and ask him if he could play one of my cds. So he said yeah go get it. So I went over to my desk where my school bag was. And I had pulled out my Blood On The Dance Floor cd. I gave it to him and I told him to play the first 2 songs on it. So he did and then all of were like saying what an awesme cd that is. And they all knew it was Michael Jackson that was being played. But they still thought it was awesome. They thought the cd belong to the kid that was playing it. But he told them that it was my cd. So the other kids told me what an awesome cd it is. I just smile and told them I know why do you think I love Michael. It is because he is awesome. The classroom full of MJ haters never did apologized to me for making fun of me and of him. But I did get those haters to change their minds about Michael and why I love him like I do.

yeah people can be cruel, I also went through times when I had to defend my love for Michael. One of the people who use to make fun of me was my dad, but I just stood up for myself. Also at school, I again spoke my mind and that was it. I never let it get to a physical level, physical confrontations are not worth it. So please no matter how mad you get at someone please do not get physical with anyone. You can get your point across with your words not your fists.

That's very valid.
But sometimes when you don't respond to verbal insults, people will try and get a reaction another way.
I hope this isn't the case here - but it was a case with me.
And I strongly believe in defending oneself when it gets to that.

 

[krism]

the world is full of cruel people but theres a lot of nice people out there too. dont pay the haters any attention - they will eventually fade away. surround yourself with people who share the love

You came to the right place :better:
You know, there will always be people hating on others for whatever reason. Like other posters already said, it's best to ignore them and surround yourself with people that accept you for who you are. The hating is just ignorance. You were one of the lucky ones to have experienced the magic that Michaels brings to those who will listen. Others may find their inspirations elsewhere, but you found it with him. And thats beautiful.

Michael faced many many challanges during his life, mockery and hating being a big part of it. But he lifted his head up high and tried to enjoy his life the best he could. He lived it to the fullest and through that inspired us to do the same. You're blessed for having been a part of this magical experience. And you're still a part of it, together we keep that legacy alive. Let the haters be haters, you know the truth, you know the beauty and you carry the strength within you to walk through your life with pride!

i know exactly what ur talking about. i had so maaaany arguments about MJ at school.
maybe u try to convince them how wonderful michael is. but if this doesnt help, IGNORE them. its painful for people who seek attention by teasing others.
just ask them what their intention is by talking about mj this way.

ugh i hate those people, i really do =(
i made so many experiences and sometimes it really hurts.
but in the end u know that u r the winner, because u r fan of the greatest perosn who has ever lived =) and millions of people know that fact
