The Struggles Fangirls Face

1. Annoyed friends.

Any fangirl will know, that it's very difficult not to talk about the things we love. We'll talk about our fandom to our friends, to our family, to our teachers, to random strangers on the street... And as a result of our obsessing, our friends get a bit annoyed. At the beginning they're acceptive, but then they get a bit sick of us talking about our Fandom...




2. Misunderstanding Parents

Screaming, hyperventilating, and blabbering on and on about our favourite things... our parents think we're mad. They don't understand the concept of  'fangirling' and give us weird looks when we randomly shout out when we see something exciting that affects our fandom. They just don't get it.






  3. The Feels

Even though we may have never have fallen in love, had someone cheat on us, had our sibling blown up, or had someone we love die of cancer, we know how they all feel. Because we've read about them.  We've read tons of books about people falling in love, so we can give love advice to people despite never talking to the opposite gender. That's not the problem though; the problem is when we're reading about the emotions. We fall in love with the character we're reading about; we feel our hearts shatter into a million pieces when they die.



4. Inspired by...

You know how after you finished the Hunger Games, you wore your hair in a Katniss braid for months? How, while you were reading Harry Potter, you dressed in red and gold? That's because when you fangirl over something, everything you do is inspired by your fandom. You dress like them, talk like them, listen to their favourite music, watch the movies they mentioned in the book. This annoys our friends and freaks our parents out even more, but trust me, it's only normal for a fangirl.


5. All Nighters

And you can't call yourself a fangirl, unless you've only survived on two hours of sleep on some days. There's just so much to do; reading the books, watching the movies, watching videos on you tube, reading fan fiction. So much to do before you fall asleep. That's when coffee comes in handy (or sugar, if like me, you actually hate caffeinated drinks.)
