Why do you care what people think on a wrestling forum? they shame me publicly about buying wrestling figure so i wanted to know your opinions, tips, and if it was ever happened to you that someone laughed at you, and what did you do about it? I have about 70-80 figures displayed on two floating shelves in my basement. So anytime someone goes down there, they are forced to see it. Some people don't say anything while others may ask about them. Even for the ones that don't say anything, I usually point it out and say "these are my wrestling figures. Yes, I know I'm a grown man and I know it's weird but I like them." Kind of a way to call it out since I am sure they were already wondering. I'm sure those people have some stupid stuff they do or like that I may find weird or creepy, so they shouldn't really be taking that harsh of a stance anyway. I'm not concerned with what people think about them because I like them, but the best way to diffuse any hostility is to go right at the person. Like 'Yeah I collect toys, but I'll still kick your ass.' Or something along those lines.

Or something along those lines. idk why i still try to hide everything in boxes when uncles\aunts come over with my cousins, i told my brother to not tell his girlfriend about me collecting either. i just dont like to be judged.. the simple solution is to just dont tell you do it.. i wanted to test the community response if i posted something like this and immediately everyone started talking with eachother about how weird i am (im 22 in january). i can say i dont care what people think about me, but while i say it, i KNOW peeps talking about this and it disturbs me. dont get me wrong, i am listening to everyone advices , im just pointing my thoughts

They dont sound like friends to me.
Ditch them and find some new friends I say and tell them to get lost. Always do what makes you happy in life, any friend or girlfriend that tries to make you into something you're not are not worth having around. Even if you cant find any mates who share your hobby or interests its still better to have no friends than ones who are bungholes.
I personally get on very well in life keeping to myself. I do what pleases me, I go everywhere alone, cinema's etc and I am perfectly happy in my own company. I never follow trends and go with the crowd and thats not me trying to be different or awkward thats simply the way I like it, and that is what is most important.

I had people talk crap about me when I was in middle school for wearing wrestling shirts and just for being a big fan of wrestling in general (that was in 2001-2004). It changed in high school, because nobody really cared, and everyone had their own thing going for them.

Just be yourself is my philosophy. I'm a guitar, car, gun, and toy nerd, and I don't care what other people's opinion of it is. Gotta love the fact there is the internet though for this type of discussion. my girlfriend doesn't give me shit.
