Step 1. Understanding.
So tu just understood that tu don't like this thing anymore? Lets think about it. Do tu really want to stop? Won't tu feel bad after it. Actually it is just theorical part of stopping being a fan but it is important. tu don't want to throw all your merchandise out and then cry and shout "I want it all back. I still amor it." Think twice before doing siguiente steps.
Step 2. Big trashcan.
It is the most important and a quite symbolic step. tu take everything off. All the posters, all little fan things tu have around you. Take everything away. It has symbolic meaning. Getting rid of obsession, of being a fan. Then throw everything out. EVERYTHING. Rip all the printouts, old posters. Get rid of all that. tu are starting a new life. Congratulate yourself.
Step 3. Things that are worth money.
Probably tu have something like CD's, DVD's, books, T-shirts, cups etc. Things that tu have paid a money for and they are still worth it. tu can throw them out of course but better idea is to just sell them. Maybe someone who is a fan of a thing tu are stopping to be a fan of will buy them. Things are used so tu won't probably sell them for the same price tu bought them but anyway... Maybe your cousin likes them? Give them to him. Also tu can donate things if tu want. Poor people will be happy about almost new T-shirts even with tu ex-idol pic on them.
Step 4. Digital cleaning.
Take your phone, tablet, computer and other devices and borrar everything like música files, pics. It also may have symbolic meaning and tu will get a lot of free el espacio in your computers memory. Clean all tu social networks profiles. Maybe tu have facebook banner with your ex-idols pic. Change it! Unfollow it. Unsubscribe channels in youtube. borrar thematic boards in pinterest. Stop being a fan of clubes in fanpop and other fanclubs.
Step 5. Let the world know it.
Stopped being a fan of Justin Bieber but some months later your godmother gives tu a cup with his pic on it for christmas, thinking that tu still like him? Don't let it happen. Tell everybody that tu are stopping being a fan. Write an arcticle in internet like I did. Tell it to your family and friends. Let them know.
Step 6. Start a new life.
Its the best part. tu can find a new thing to be a fan of. tu can simply enjoy your freedom :) Remember, stopping being a fan is good thing and tu don't have to be ashamed because it oppens tu to new opportunities, new things to like. Just be happy and proud of yourself about liking what tu like and disliking what tu dislike and if somebody says things like "How could tu stop being his fan?I hate tu for it. tu ruined our friendship." Remember that tu can do whatever tu want and its your life no matter what others say.
