Sdm 13,010 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 "Be sad for a celebrity's death but not too sad cause you didn't really know them personally." Every time someone famous passes away some people say this and it annoys me so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurachinaDisuko 3,721 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 It's annoying. Just because you didn't know them and they didn't know you doesn't mean you can't mourn for them. It's a disgusting saying. I hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NINI 16,268 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I personally think that's superficial and not what I'd call "human". They probably never felt that type of sentiment (I hope so) and that's why they should shut up about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebells and Snowdrops 3,566 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I’m currently very sad about Jonghyun, but everyone I try to talk about it with someone else, they act like I’m seriously overreacting (maybe I am in their minds, but for me, it’s a huge thing). It’s like they don’t understand how you can get so attached to someone you don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hella 2,168 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I’m thankful that my IRL friends are empathetic about this. I’m already so sad, I dunno how much worse it would be to have my feelings dismissed like that You didn’t need to know him (or any other celeb really) to be touched by him. I mean that’s what makes music and art so powerful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Ten ♚ 3,050 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Absurd. I spent more time with him than with most of people that I know. Watching his videos and listening his songs. He is a dear friend for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like they don’t understand how you can get so attached to someone you don’t know. i know. he's someone I've known for more than eight years, even if not personally. I feel like my head is fuzzy and my heart is all clogged up cause I never really knew him but he was with us for years and now he's not ... of course we will feel something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liliana 7,771 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I think it’s stupid, people never know how much an idol/celebrity could have meant to them, the impact they have had in their life and how happy they made one feel. There are people that been through shit and found comfort reading, watching and/or listening to idols, people need to understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn’t know anything about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's just fake concern. I'm talking about people telling fans to stop over reacting cause they didn't know their faves personally. I think a celebrity- fan dynamic is different.

U R Messy AF 7,087 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Seeing as emotion isn't something that we have a great deal of control over and we all feel things differently, I don't think anyone has the right to criticize the validity of someone else's feelings. I'll admit, I was once of the impression that this sentiment holds merit (and in some ways, I still think the people closest to him reserve the right to be the most distraught by the loss). However, forging connections with people and being sad when they're gone - even when you don't know them personally - is a form of empathy, a fundamental human emotion. As long as they're not of the immediate impression that their pain is greater than that of those closest to him and remain mindful of that, people should be allowed to feel whatever they're feeling. How they choose to express and/or act upon those feelings is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeoksi_xo 844 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I don't understand why would someone dismiss someone's grief like that. It's just plain ignorant. Especially if someone was a fan, they obviously had a connection to the celebrity. A celebrity's death is a human being's death. It is as significant as everyone else's and it doesn't matter that you never met them or didn't know them personally... especially suicide, it's such a heartbreaking tragedy. Wish ignorant people would just be quiet in moments like these instead of adding more pain to those who are grieving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
