Has stanning benefited your mental health? Has it made you happier and more content as a person?


Honestly I think it is so unhealthy. People act out destructively on Twitter and have total unnecessary meltdowns that lead to an unbalanced life.




A big part of stanning is fighting and being nasty to other stans. I don't think happy people enjoy being nasty to others

Being this obsessive about anything is unhealthy

Buy Obsessed on iTunes

Not entirely

It depends on where you place it.

it's time consuming but if you are doing it to escape because life isn't going well than it can be a bad place to alter your mindset.

if you are using it to hide behind keyboard strokes to be negative and bring bad energy then it's bad.

If you are doing it to express yourself and have healthy discussion/debate and you are content and successful in life...you don't take it as seriously and it's for entertainment purposes.

If you've gotten banned from forums multiple times then it's unhealthy

this should be fun and entertaining

I only stan harder when I'm single but yes my stanning for Rihanna and Avril Lavigne Is heathy, I do have the Avril tattoo but that's as far as I'll go.

Denis on the other hand, people think it's not heathy but he is worth every time of my life be is my life I just love him so much, I'd take a bullet for him

It has been bad for my bank account - spending money on music that's freely available on Spotify etc.

This is unhealthy

I mean being a super fan of an artist in general isn't unhealthy.

Arguing all day about whether your fave or their rival is more successful and resorting to nasty demeaning statements while doing so is unhealthy though.

depend
if your 10,000 post in SYG type of stan, then no
but if your a casual stan and have some common sense, your fine

everything in moderation

Absolutely not. That's why I gave it up

I'll still troll you for the kiis tho

Yes, I lost 30 pounds since I started stannin

Yes and no. Consider gaming stans, sports stans etc. who go way harder for their faves in my opinion.

I see it as my hobby and I like to spend lots of money on it. I buy fragrances, music, magazines from my faves but I still have a social life ofcourse.

I dont like the creepy stans tho.....

No because when nothing is happening I never know what to do with myself

I think it could be fun but for some users, I'd imagine it could be quite unhealthy.

I mean if you're putting stanning someone who doesn't even know you exist before doing homework, studying, going to work, hanging out with friends, spending time with family, etc. then obviously that's unhealthy

However if you pop onto ATRL a few times a day to see what's going on in the world of pop and see what's cooking with your favs then no, I think it's healthy. It's the equivalent of watching sports - you want to see how your team is competing.

Mostly negative stanning (bashing other artists, dismissing impact of certain artists, etc) are probably unhealthy. Like you shouldn't go through life hating and trolling.

On the other hand if you're just fan, comment/crititize their music, follow them (not to the point of total obsession), you're fine. You're sane.
