1. You know your fan account is still out there somewhere.

And you really hope no one ever finds it.

2. You never wear your merch, but you're never going to get rid of it.

You spent an immense amount of money on it, after all.

3. You're really grateful you didn't follow through with that tattoo idea.

That would've been on your body for the rest of your life.

4. You were way too young to be writing sex scenes into fan fiction.

But for some reason we all did it.

5. You can't believe how much time - and emotion - you devoted to your fandom.

When just a selfie is enough to make you burst into tears, you may be a little too obsessed.

6. You now realize that drama between fandoms is utterly useless.

But back then, rival fandoms might as well have been rival gangs.

7. Posters. So many posters.

How many sexy people can one fit onto the walls of one bedroom?

8. You had a superiority complex because of your immense amount of random knowledge.

Did you know that Harry Styles has four nipples?

9. Your fandom was your family.

You were closer to some of your internet friends than to your actual friends.

10. You may cringe at yourself now, but a part of you feels nostalgic about that time of your life.

Admit it: You had a lot of fun.
