True fan or fake soccer enthusiast? You can't decide for yourself—check if you’re showing these symptoms!

True fans' passion for badminton comes from the heart, and they have their own independent perspectives.

Fake fans often lack strong convictions and tend to have only a superficial understanding of badminton.

True fans and fake fans are completely incompatible—each holds entirely different beliefs and perspectives. While fake fans can shift their mindset, deepen their understanding, and eventually become true fans, it’s nearly impossible for true fans to ever drift away and turn into fake fans!

Among fellow football fans, you can identify whether someone is a true die-hard or just a casual observer by looking at these two key aspects:

1. One day without playing basketball leaves your heart feeling empty; two days and you start to fidget with restlessness; three days, and life loses all freedom.

2. Storing high-definition badminton videos of all levels each year already requires more than 10 hard drives just for the videos—let alone staying up late to watch live broadcasts, which has become an everyday occurrence.

3. The "hard worker" of the basketball group—always ready to play, rain or shine.

4. Enjoys collecting various small-related accessories, tournament souvenirs, and more.

5. Your everyday attire must include an item that ties you to badminton—whether it’s a badminton-themed T-shirt, a tiny badminton bracelet, or even a stylish phone case featuring the sport.

6. Loves to fall asleep clutching the racket—and even dreams at night of practicing her technique, leaping and smashing as she bounces on the bed... only to wake up startled!

7. When someone says badminton is too "unmanly," you’ll calmly explain to them just how awesome this sport really is. But if your casual friend starts spouting nonsense about your badminton idol, you’ll instantly want to block them—because they clearly have no clue about the "badminton vibe" at all!

8. On the court, you can endure sweating profusely and even grueling, dog-like training sessions—but at other times, just doing a little extra work leaves you utterly exhausted!

9. Treat badminton like a way of life—hit the court to celebrate your highs, rediscover confidence when you’re down, and let loose under pressure. And if one match can’t solve whatever’s bothering you, play two!

10. Treating your badminton idol: When you succeed, I’ll stand by your side as you conquer the world—sharing in your laughter and tears. And when you face defeat, I’ll be there to support and encourage you, helping you rise again stronger than ever.

......

1. How we treat badminton idols: When they win, we give them big thumbs up; when they lose, we grumble and complain—focusing only on the outcome, not the process.

2. Gossip about idols often surfaces outside of their public personas—people who love to preach from a moral high ground while pointing fingers, and who can’t resist adding a little jab when others are down on their luck.

3. Watch only the finals—specifically the important ones, and even more so the high-stakes finals featuring your idols. After all, there are only a handful of players you really know well, while you remain largely unfamiliar with the new generation of rising stars.

4. When asked to head to the court for a game, he hesitates and drags his feet—plus, he’s often late and always seems reluctant to show up in the first place.

5. When going to play, you don’t bring your racket or ball—instead, you borrow a racket here and there, sneak a few quick hits, play for ten minutes, then spend an hour chatting on the sidelines.

6. They show complete disregard for actions like casually stepping on the net tape while playing, freely using their rackets to brace themselves against the ground for support, and showing no care for the court's facilities.

7. They love commenting on other players' skills—pointing out what's "not good enough," criticizing their techniques, and even lecturing them on how they "shouldn't play this way or that." But more than anything, they seem to take particular pleasure in picking apart others' moves.

8. Likes to pretend to know more than they do, sharing vague and misleading opinions in the group chat to grab others' attention.

9. I tend to judge people by their appearance, especially when I see an attractive female teammate—I immediately want to ask her to play.

10. As for the rules, I’ve never really cared—things like serving over the waist, hitting the ball over the net, or even touching the net during a shot—I think amateur players don’t need to take them so seriously!

Since you're playing badminton, aim to play it as well as possible—approach the sport with a clear understanding and genuine appreciation for its nuances. Don’t become someone who’s easily swayed or lacks discipline; instead, cultivate your own unique perspective and unwavering beliefs. Only then can you truly embrace a life—and a game—that’s both meaningful and rewarding.
