Obsessed fans:Would you be friends with such individuals?

Wow - that guy seems pretty obsessed! But OY - he have gotten a better tattoo or a better tattoo artist at least? That's a "wee" bit too much fanaticism for a celebrity for my taste. I know I have my share of "weird" friends, but even they are not that crazy. Could I be friends with someone like that? Not sure - I haven't met a person like that (and hope I never will!). I imagine people like that are me me me, because everything they do or say would be related to their celebrity love. Eh, who needs that!

I realize this discussion is over a month old, but I HAD to put in my thoughts on this. I knew a lot of crazy and very obsessed fans, fans that would stop at nothing to get closer to their admirations. There was this group, they are still around but they are not as popular, they are New Kids On the Block, I knew women who literally divorced their husbands and left their boyfriends thinking they had a chance with one of the members of the group. The sad part is, that the group encourages it. Some girls even had tattoos of their autographs. It was intense! Then there were those girls who were in love with Criss Angel, he's an illusionist/magician who is now in Vegas. Anyway, some had tattoos of him all over their bodies. Some would follow the guy all the way to his home and so on. Now that Miley Cyrus fan is just as insane, tatoos of her songs, of her face. Just like those crazy girls I mentioned. To answer your question, I reacted with SHOCK, pure shock and confusion. I understand admiring a famous celebrity and such but some fans always step beyond the line. This kind of obsession is an illness. It's sad really.

How did you meet him? If I met him in class and he didn't seem to express his obsession everywhere even in class.. then I think I'd be fine with it.. but if he is always talking about her even in class.. then I may not go near him.

I think they better not to because stalkers usually constroy fantasies, you cannot even smile to them that they'll feed their hopes, they literally think you are in love and you are an item so no celebs should be friends with obsessed fans, they could be stalkers. Many serial killers were stalkers too...

Crying at a concert by your favorite artist, or buying limited editions of the album with half the salary already seems a trivial thing. I think it's the creepy fan of a celebrity. I do not know what he thought Miley Cyrus, but the tattoos seem pretty hideous. It is clear that the type is "less" obsessed. Surely I could not be friends with such an individual.
