Why are fans too obsessive? Mod Note Pg 28! - Page 23

Good question.

I know many obsessive fans, well I don't know them, but I've come across them.

I can see Barun fans are the least popular fans of a male actor, and then Gurmeet's..

I am a Barun fan, but I am not obsessive. I don't like bashing posts regardless of who it's bashing but criticism is fine. But on this forum, the bashers never seem to realise they are bashing, and the fans also don't seem to know the difference between bashing and criticism.

I don't actually know why some fans are so obsessive. Either obsessively loving, or obsessively hating. It's strange.

I mean most haters of Barun seem to hate him more because of his fan group, rather than because of him. And besides why does anyone ever obsessively hate an actor? What do they do to make you hate them? They're just doing a job, if you don't like they're acting, why hate on them?

I was part of the IPKKND forum, and there were some obsessive fans. There were however many mature people part of the forum. These is not known however, as these mature people don't go around the forum making ridiculous posts and bashing others or starting or responding to fights. The mature lot stayed on the forum and had their civilized discussions in their own groups.

The immature lot however, are everywhere making silly comments. These lot are obsessive beyond belief. What they don't realise is that they are probably the main reason people hate their favourite actor..

great topic. I am hoping we can now explore other aspects too. Like how about seeing if we can find the causes for such obsessive behavior? Is it psychological or biological? Neurotic disorder perhaps?😉 Another possibility to explore would be whether there are self-help programs we can enroll people into to get serious help. In any case, we can't have people roaming around forums suffering from compulsive disorders, can we? Any institution where we can commit people that'll cure them of what ails them?😉 😆

Can anything become an object of obsession? Is it primarily because the object of one's obsession confers pleasure, comfort and/or is an emotional crutch of sorts...? Do people overcome their obsession by becoming obsessed with something else more healthy or less benign..??

Why are we trying to find the causes and cures? What about the entertainment value when we see the fans going berserk. 😆 Let's reevaluate what the greater good is here.

I'm sure there is a genetic component - there always seems to be with behavioural traits, with a variation in the level of obsession an individual is capable across a population...

I would have simply attributed cause to low mental age and even lower levels of maturity and overall development.😆 For example, i cant imagine these girls growing to be grannies and obsessing over chikna actors. Or would they? Is there such a thing as a naughty nanny?😆
