[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 7531927, member: 7808"] Look, man, I've got some bad news for you. You've probably known this for awhile, and have tried to convince yourself it's not true. But it's time to face the facts. We can all see it; it's time for you to come clean with yourself. You are not a Star Wars fan. I'm sure you were once. I've sure it was a big deal to you. A big emotional investment. A big time sink. Possibly even a formative part of your journey into adulthood. But as it stands right now, you simply aren't someone who likes Star Wars. At all. You've tried to claim that this isn't a dump on Star Wars. It's totally and completely a 100% dump on Star Wars. You claim to be indifferent to the new stuff, but the very fact that you would take the time to write this proves that you aren't. And it's obvious that this is stuff you've been thinking about for a long time, not just some off-the-cuff ramblings about a movie you just saw. Heck, in your last thread, I believe you gave 7 out of 10 movies a negative rating, including one of the original trilogy. It's time to let go. I know it's hard. I've been there myself with franchises before, and I get that it's even harder to deal with now that there's new material coming out. The important thing is that you can still be a nerd or a geek. You can still go to cons. You can even talk about how you used to be a fan. You can keep those memories; they can still be good memories, and they can still make you happy. But when people talk about the "fandom" or "people who like Star Wars", that's simply not who you are anymore. Star Wars isn't you're thing. And that's okay. We're still here for you. Maye I'm wrong, and I certainly can't tell you how to live your life. But I really think it would do you a lot of good to find something new that you like. Define yourself by the things that you actually enjoy [I]now[/I], not the things you enjoyed decades ago, or the things you hate. Do it for yourself. Trust me, you'll be happier when you do. [/QUOTE]
