1. Stumbling upon Them for the First Time
This is when someone sends you a link of an awesome band, singer, movie trailer etc, or you're casually browsing YouTube and you see something that catches your eye. You click on it, and BAM! your entire world has just been turned upside down.
Oh, being a fangirl is the best! It's like having this super intense love and admiration for something or someone. Whether it's a band, a show, or a celeb, you just can't get enough. It's a big part of your life!
Honestly, it's pretty easy! Just dive into the thing you love. Watch interviews, attend events, connect with other fans. Before you know it, you'll be an expert on everything about your favorite thing!
Totally! Low-key fangirling is when you admire from afar, maybe secretly. Hardcore is waving posters at a concert or knowing every single fact about your fave. Both are awesome in their ways!
Well, everything's best in moderation, right? As long as it's making you happy and not affecting your life negatively, it's all good! Just make sure it doesn't take over everything.
Because it's so much fun! You get to be part of a community, share your excitement with others, and sometimes, it’s a way to escape the mundanity of daily life. Plus, finding something you adore is just magical!
2. Researching What They're All about

6. The Fangirl Phase Fizzles out
After some time, growing up, and everything in between, you realise that you haven't made as much time for your idol as you did in the past. You return to their music or videos and the feelings just aren't the same. You've - dare I say it - kind of outgrown them!

7. The Cycle Begins Again - You Find Someone New to Fangirl over
Just then, another person or group catches your eye and you're like, "Hold up! How did I ever live my life before hearing about this person/group?!" And so the vicious cycle of being a fangirl begins again.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being a fangirl. In fact, it tends to give your life purpose and an extra sparkle. Plus, it inspires you to be your best self. I mean, where would we be today without Justin Bieber, One Direction (sob, when are they getting back together?!!), and all the other influential people that grace this beautiful Earth?
Having said that, it's definitely time for me to find a new group to be obsessed with. Any suggestions?!
