Hello BlueMoonBlueEarth and everypony else. I recently startet watching MLP:FIM and guess who i felt in love with. By the way i am a 33 year old male from Germay. Searching for an answer if this is normal is found this thread here and i also felt the need to write something.

First of all i can totally relate to what happend to you BlueMoonBlueEarth. Unfortunately i made a similar experiance way back in school. I had some kind of obsession with plush animals. Someday one of my so called friends told this to my other schoolmates and they started bullying me. I think this is the main reason why i am depressed too.

After reading this thread i think here are a lot of nice people that also agree to what i thought about before searching for an answer. Love can't be wrong, especially if you love someone as nice as Fluttershy. Love feels great, even if it's for a fictional character. I think we love her, because we like to find someone who is like her in real life. Maybe this will not be an easy task, but we can make it.

So please do not let other people put you down. Usually they are not worth a second of your time. Stick to the one you like and love. Friendship IS Magic and it is real. Even if you are not able to shoot rainbows in real life, friendship can still bring you up and make you smile
