RL Friends.

[BabyPiglet]

What do you real life friends think of the DIS? What do they think of your love for Disney? How do they compare with the people here?

Discuss.

[HSMndLKfan92]

Some of my friends think that I'm weird for liking Disney. But they deal with that; they can handle just about anything from me, now. Some of my friends DIS. They like this place, so they joined.

Now, if you said real life people, I would go on and on about how I wish DIS was school. I feel more accepted here, than I do there.

[pigletgirl]

Eh, none of them care. They like Disney too, so it doesn't seem weird to them. My friend in RL are all about my age or older and we talk alot more about our lives and more personal stuff.

I feel the same. My friends think it's immature for me to like Disney, and they think it's weird I have friends on the DIS.

But honestly, I like it more here because like you, I feel more accepted, and I feel I can talk to you guys about more things than I can my RL friends. Some people in RL just umm...don't understand.

What do you real life friends think of the DIS? I don't really obsess over the DIS in real life. Ohhh Sinner!! I know... I knoww. But my friends go on weird forums like Zelda Universe and Broadway World anyways so they couldn't really make fun of me.
What do they think of your love for Disney? My love for Disney subsides over other things. It doesn't get brought up often. I know, Sinner, Sinner.
How do they compare with the people here? The people here could not ever compare with my RL friends. I'm sorry but you couldn't. A few of you are almost like my RL friends but I love my friends so much. No joke.

Most of my friends have never been so....I'm kind of a loner, lol. My closest friends accept it as a part of me (its just part of who I am.) and the others.....just don't get it. lol. My boyfriend has never even rode a roller-coster :rolleyes: So...Yeah. I would love to take them there and just show em' what they're missing. :cloud9:

My best friend Chelsea is like the only one of my friends who knows I DIS. I didn't think the other ones would care or be interested...so....I never talk about it with them. BIG SIN; I KNOW!!!:confused

I like the people here b/c I feel like I can speak my mind with my friends here....With my RL friends, I am sometimes overshadowed. I'm more of a typer than a talker, lol. ♥

[PatriotsRule]

None of my friends are on here. They're not exactly Disney fanatics. Quite the opposite, actually.

[HSMndLKfan92]

Don't get me wrong. I love my friends. It's just difficult to run up to them, and be like, "Did you see that Hidden Mickey in Peter Pan?!" They often wonder how I'm observant about things like that.

It's easier to come here, because we all have a common interest - Disney. Our friendships blossom off of that. Heck, I met my "sister" on here. She understands me on a level that my friends can't reach.

It's really complicated.

Bottom line: It's easier to talk here, because of our interests.

I agree.

[Mickey1122]

My friends don't know about this website.

[polysisterchick]

What do you real life friends think of the DIS? some of them know.. others don't. Those who know don't really care that i post here. They think it's cool, but and would join but can't because their parents block forums.
What do they think of your love for Disney? Ha, my 2 amazing best friends love disney almost as much as i do. But my friends know my love for disney and deal with it.
How do they compare with the people here? i know everybody claims their friends are amazing.. but mine really are. i honestly am not sure if i can say that the people on the dis are better than my RL friends.



Now, if you said real life people, I would go on and on about how I wish DIS was school. I feel more accepted here, than I do there.

i agree and disagree. one minute i feel accepted and part of the boards; the next i don't. If i am gone for 3 days, a fight could break out, people can side, and it be resolved with everyone closer to each other by the time i get back. Everyone is wonderful - don't get me wrong - but i can't say i've made tons of friends on the dis when i've made a few. (...that was not a self pitying paragraph, it's a realization that i have made that i am ok with.)

[BabyPiglet]

My friends don't know about this website.

Why is that?

[Pearls]

My friends don't know about this website.

What he said.

[Tinkerbell424]

Only a few of my friends know of the DIS but they don't ask about it.Most of my friends at school know I love disney. I get teased by one of my best friends and a few of my guy friends.
I think my friends don't mind it since I don't talk disney with them because they haven't been a lot and just aren't into disney.

My two best friends want to go to Disney this summer and want me to be there tour guide since I know so much and am such a fanatic.I like it because none of my friends are HUGE disney fans,so it feel's good to actually have something that I can just talk about with other people(you guys).Most of my friends all have the same things to talk to the same people(stardoll,myspace,facebook,etc.) so that gets kinda boring lol.

[Loves Disney]

I wish I could answer you, but like Mickey1122 and Pearls, none of my friends really know about this site. I know this will sound blasphemy to some...but I don't brag about this site to them 24/7. lol. Don't shoot :scared:

[Sparx]

My friends really don't care.

[meeshheartsdisney217]

i personally think that it's just because no one sees each other. now i'm not saying anyone on here would judge people because of what they look like, but what it sounds like to me is that we're more accepting of each other because we aren't all being jealous little itchesbay and gossiping about each other.

that's the main difference between here and RL.

my friends in RL are amazing. I wouldn't trade them for anything.
My friends on here are amazing. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

they're both friends to me. call them what you want.

Nah I won't. My friends don't really know either, but a few do. Don't get me wrong I love my friends...they just aren't the same as you guys. Not that any one group is way better than the other one. I love all my friends, just here it feels more comfortable.

[DramaQueen]

i have one friend who used to post on the DIs a while ago.

she is a disney addict just like me, when we get going about Disney people just slowly back away.

i don't really talk about the dis much with my other friends.
i tell my mom about it sometimes? lol

most of my friends know about my family's obsession with Disney, it's not a problem. :goodvibes

[minniesBFF]

my friends know about my obsession with disney, but I don't really tell them about the dis. I mean, I've mentioned to my friends that I go on a disney chat site, but it doesn't go much further than that. My friends really don't care.

My mom is DISaddicted like me. Her name is MsPiglet....see...Babypiglet...heh...

Anyway...we dont' really talk about the DIS that much unless we find something really cool...

[crazy2beautiful]

I don't think any of them know about this place.
And I don't intend to tell them.

Why?

[crazy2beautiful]

They don't care about Disney.

[Babyjustrun]

Hmm..
I can talk to them about WDW, yeah. We talk about it a lot. One of my guy friend's and I had a discussion about how much we hated the 3-D shows.

As far as Disney, we talk about how we used to love those movies, or how we still do.

Most of the time though, they don't care.
