Why oh why do people like taking mick out me for loving Disney and the disboards

[angel659]

Hi

I know this has been posted on many occassions, but I am so wound up with work. Yesterday people were trying to take the mick out of me for liking disney. When I mention the disboards or dis meet I get the most strangest looks.

It does annoy me, considering they have not been for one and secondly they do not have a clue about this board. Many occassions I have mentioned that I have made some great friends on here. I have prob posted more stuff about my personal life than my colleagues at work know.

Oh it does annoy me. How many of you get this reaction.

most of us get it i think its a small price to pay for the friendship we get off everyone on here though. ive lost count of the people who have gone out of there way for me on here !!
i almost feel sad that everyone can't experiance the boards like i can

I get it too - and that's just from my husband

My family all think I'm mad. However, I'm lucky as I don't have any friends other than my DIS buddies - and they're all as daft as me

A lot of people i know think we are strange to keep going back to Disney every year but they are usually the ones that have never been at all. As long as DD still wants to go we will go( won't have too many more holidays as a family as she will be off with her friends in a couple more years).

take no notice Michelle, as you know I had this a couple of weeks ago - rise above them, you always have us x

I keep trying to convert everybody, but they just don't want to be converted.

I think they feel sorry me because of my addiction.

Yep I get it too! I try to not let it bother me tho, like everyone else I feel that I have made real friendships on here. When something happens in my life I always think "Oooh I must post that on the Dis!!"

 

[Beth__WDW23/6/02]

Yup I know the feeling,but then again Ive recommended DIS to so many fellow Disney Addicts and they love it.
So it cant be a bad thing,you can never mock anything until you have a try for yourself.
I have learned so many things from this place, and I love reading TR's,so whatever people may say it will never stop me from visiting this place.

Hi

Thanks for your support. Normally it does not bother me, but I got the impression that they also talk and take the mick out of me behind my back. Which annoyed me. They were making out like I was a freak or something I cant remember what they said though, because I was too angry and upset to stay and listen. A little childish of me, but I was already having an awful shift so I thought it would be better to walk off and say nothing.

Oh well they just dont know what they are missing.

 

[scottishsue]

I get it too - from my family. Don't worry about it.

We're all here for each other and that's the main thing !!

 

[mandymouse]

I'm lucky, as most of my friends are Disney nuts too (even though they don't come on here)

Whenever I see my mum, she says, 'What's the news from your Disney friends ?'

 

[carolfoy]

Rise above it Michelle - If they haven't DIScovered its their loss! I love my friends on here which is even funny when you consider I have only met a small few briefly - I mean, how could I possibly count someone like FloridaSun whom I have never even met a real friend? weird I know but I do

 

[Booknut]

I get this from my family and a few people at work. They are generally nice about it but they do like to make a joke here and there which can get annoying.

But I just feel sorry for them because they are the ones missing out!

 

[eyoreaud]

Sending you a hug
and some pixie Dust

It's not nice when people poke fun at you, try and rise above it and remember that you have lots of similar friends right here on the Dis

Can your workmates say the same?
I think not.

 

[Goofysmate]

If the poeple you work with have never been then they don't know what there missing, and must be a bunch of sad 'o'.
At least on here your not along on how you feel about WDW.
So cheer up and remember your friends are here so talk away about Disney to your hearts contents and know that no one will think you silly or laugh at you. (we might laugh with you but never at you).

 

[mikki.young]

I used to get it a lot from work but it turned from ridicule to people approaching me for advice when they or their friends were going to plan a trip! Suddenly I was the expert they wanted! Naturally I pointed them in the direction of discussion boards like this one to ask more questions.....

 

[DisneyJo]

I get it too until they have a WDW question I know I'll still be reading these boards after our holiday even if I don't have another one booked as I have made some really good friends! Yesterday when I got tagged I was so excited, massive grin etc but DH and DD's just could not understand why it had made me so happy, at least all my DIS friends knew

Tell me about it!

I have only just joined although have been reading for a long time. But my partner sais that you lot are a bunch of saddos with no friends - he thinks that's why you post on here so much.

I told him to shove it - I have got a lot of useful stuff from this board and it is helping us book our trip to Disney this September. I think that you lot are dead nice and am glad that you are here.
