Not really!! Sometimes of course, when you meet new peeps and you tell them you're a MJ-Fan, they usually react in a way like, He has good music, but on the personal stuff we mostly don't see eye to eye on that!!
I don't really let it get to me anymore!! I used to though, quite some time ago, when people talked Bad about Him, I tried to defend Him and then they started to mock Him and me even more, so I stopped doing that!! Now I just tell them I'm a Fan, and if they say Bad things, I just shrug, and tell them they're wrong, nothing more... Their loss the way they may think, not mine!!
My family used to help me collect all sorts of MJ-stuff, but I kinda grew up, and they stopped all that, but they're OK with me being a Fan, and I'm OK with the fact they only like Him as an Artist, so I don't feel like an outcast, not anymore!!
I've also noticed that after He died, I got a lot more positive talks with non-fans than I had before!! I guess "speak no ill of the dead" still means something to some people!! Not all though, but still...
Oh yeah, about having MJ-Fans as friends, besides meeting Daz way too few times a year, I don't meet any MJ-Fans anymore!! We used to come together lots more, but I guess times & lives change, people get very busy and of course there's something called: The Internet!! :yes:
Thanks to Sites like this one, and facebook and others I can still chat and share Michael thoughts with many more Michael Fans than I can do in the "real world" and that gives me a very good feeling... So Thanks to the Entire MJ-Family for keeping Michael Alive in my Life!!!!! :heart:
