Hey guys, just got done reading some webpages on CWS (Celebrity Worship Sydrome).

In a study conducted by some psychologists they categorized the Sydrome (Regintis) by three levels. With Regina I would place me on level two.... I AM NOT A CREEPY STALKER FAN, lol the last thing I would want is for Regina to think im creepy. And yes I have a life. I do have Regintis pretty bad though....What are you on the scale with Regina????



Entertainment-social
This dimension comprises attitudes that fans are attracted to a favorite celebrity because of their perceived ability to entertain and become a social focus such as “I love to talk with others who admire my favorite celebrity” and “I like watching and hearing about my favorite celebrity when I am with a large group of people”.


[edit] Intense-personal
The intense-personal aspect of celebrity worship reflects intensive and compulsive feelings about the celebrity, akin to the obsessional tendencies of fans often referred to in the literature; for example “I share with my favorite celebrity a special bond that cannot be described in words” and “When something bad happens to my favorite celebrity I feel like it happened to me’”.


[edit] Borderline-pathological= (Obsessed Bjork Fan/Reginaoverdose haha JK.
This dimension is typified by uncontrollable behaviors and fantasies regarding scenarios involving their celebrities, such as “I have frequent thoughts about my favorite celebrity, even when I don’t want to” and “my favorite celebrity would immediately come to my rescue if I needed help”.



I just though this was interesting and wanted to share it with peeps here on the forums.This is from Wikepedia.

That's Superman, not any celebrity and the last two conditions are scary.

It scares me to think that I have any type of syndrome just because I like something... Welcome to HYPOCHONDRIA! Big Grin

We hope you enjoy your stay. Wink

I would like to think I don't have any kind of disorder, thanks very much. I'm a hypochondriac naturally, and since Regina has a very small likelihood of giving me an actual disease, I'm going to go ahead and just not diagnose myself...


I wish you wouldn't have broke my camera.

Yay I don't have anything beyond the entertainment-social level. The other levels are scary... Feeling that kind of a bond to a person you don't know is just... too much.

I'm probably halfway between Entertainment-social and Intense-personal. I do feel like I have a bond with regina, but its a bond with her music that cant be put into words and because she created that music.

Oh I guess I'm with you there. I definitely feel a connection to the music, but I don't have any illusions of a more personal bond.

two:"When something bad happens to my favorite celebrity I feel like it happened to me’”.
