What impact did Gaga have on your life?

[HOTNebraskaGuy 19,547]

She's empowered me and helped me expand my acceptance of music. She's also allowed me to be more creative, and less shy when it comes to things I do and do not want to do. 

She's gotten me through emotional times and helped with the way I see myself, I'm more accepting of how I look and act thanks to her.

Actually quite a bit from 2010 to 2012.

She's had a MAJOR impact on my life. I spent years trying to fill the huge emotional void that my bio mom left. Yeah Coke/heroin numbed the pain for awhile but the pain never really went away. I was so ready to end it all until Gaga came into my life. She's been my saving grace. I was slipping down that deep dark hole and she grabbed my hand and saved my life. She became a surrogate mama to me. She taught me that giving birth doesn't make you a mother.

A mother is the person who loves you more than you can imagine and is always there when you need her the most. Not all moms are biological but that doesn't mean they matter any less. My bio mom is slowly working her way into my life but idk if I'll ever be able to call her Mom. She wasn't there when I needed her. Yeah she gave birth to me but gaga will always be "mom" to me because she did all the things that a mama is supposed to do.

So many have said that my devotion to gaga is creepy but Until you've felt unloved, you don't know what it's like to have someone who loves you unconditionally for who you are. The critics have said that other celebs love their fans too. I just smile to myself and say "no they don't. Not honestly and truly. Their love for their fans is artificial. It's the type that can be bought. Gaga loves her monsters with every fiber of her being. It's a deep maternal type of love that runs deep to her core. 

No it is not creepy at all. Your story is beautiful

Awww thanks. I was always jealous of the kids who had strong loving relationships with their bio mothers. I was jealous until Gaga came and filled that void and now I can't imagine life without her. She truly does love us so very much. If you watch interviews, she just perks up when asked about us. To quote her for a second "I'll tell you one thing. There will never be another popstar who loves you more than I do".

I can understand you. I do have loving parents but they're very different from who I am and I've always felt like I can't be myself around them. I have no friends. Basically no one to talk to, I can't pour my heart out to anyone. Gaga is my happy place. She has helped me to pull through so many things through all these years I feel like I can't thank her enough. She has had a huge impact on my life. I know most of the celebrities do care about their fans but it can never come close to the amount of love Stefani has for us. Being a little monster is such a rewarding experience because at the end of the day, I know she loves us not only the cash we put in her pocket. It feels weird when I try to put it into words but yeah I guess that's just the way it is

Gaga has poured so much love into my life. I can remember from 5th grade bringing the fame to school and making my friends listen to it. From that awkward little kid, to a self-assured and loving G.U.Y (get dat promo gagzz)  I am now, she has given and helped me find my own strength and confidence. It is so weird because I feel like we are all growing up with her.  I feel like I know her as a person, and she knows me more than just someone who will buy a record. The way she has been able to connect to me is something I cannot wait to tell her someday

well i'm an inherently kind person (like even if someone's bullying me and i counterattack with a nasty insult or something, i tend to feel really bad afterward), and in everyday life (years ago) i felt like to be mean was to be cool and interesting since everyone around me was mean to some degree (gossiping and shading people, etc). i also have the type of personality where i can get along with anyone--like a wide, wide variety of people and this is because i seem to have an instinct as to how people want me to behave and i adjust myself accordingly. when i used to reflect in those days i used to feel like i wasn't being true to who i really am but at the same time i felt like it was all me. i used to have a huge problem with this and saw it as a flaw and extremely abnormal and then i read an article or something on gaga a couple of years ago that said she's the same way (idk if it was true or not) but it made me feel better regardless. 

basically she made me feel proud to be who i am. oh and to be confident with my sexuality

This might sound strange, but Gaga feels like a friend to me. She might not be physically there for me, but her music is comforting me. Since 2010 my life has taken a very unlucky turn for me, with one horrible event after another. Friends & Family have lied and betrayed me a thousand times and Gaga was always that little anchor that kept me in my life, while almost everybody else (except my mom) failed that part. I had some terrible thoughts during this time and I hope I will never reach that point again.

The major part was happening during Born This Way, that's why I feel close to this album until today and I guess that won't change so soon. I changed a lot during this time. To be honest, when I look back at my 2010 self, I have changed so much and Gaga has always influenced me with her creativity and determination. While things might not be going well still, I am now in a better place and I have to  thank her a lot for this.

She was always there for me and I want to be always there for her.

She doesn't have a big impact on my life. I just appreciate her as an artist. That's all.

Exactly. I mean yeah the money is nice but she would give it up in a heartbeat if it ever came down to her choosing the money or us. Lol my friend Matt told me the other day that it's time to retire "little monsters" and from now on it's just monsters. NEVER!!!!!!! Lol no matter how old we get we'll always be little monsters to her. Just as she'll always be "mama monster". I mean she has it tattooed on her body for god sakes

She's always there even when you can't see her if that makes sense. Even when you think she isn't looking, she is. It's a "mom" thing lol. My daughter is 6 and even now I'll wake up out of a dead sleep at 3am just to check on her. I can sleep through my alarm in the morning and yet I can hear her cough 3 rooms away with the door shut lol.

Same here. I remember her saying awhile ago that she was incredibly frustrated because when she would meet us, she couldn't connect with us on a real level because everybody wanted pics. I totally just wanna have a convo with her and just talk about life. No cameras no autographs. Just the 2 of us sitting at a bar drinking and talking about life.
