    Community Answer
    You can and always be a Directioner. They haven't separated for good. One Direction promised to come back for us.
  • Question
    Will I still have a chance to meet them if they don't get back together?

    Community Answer
    They are definitely getting back together, they promised us. All the members are saying that they miss each other and that they will come back, so keep your hope. Of course, even if they are on their hiatus, you can still go and meet the members individually.
  • Question
    My friend says she is a Directioner, but she barely knows any of the songs. What do I do?
    Ruthanee
    Community Answer
    Just support her and help her become a true Directioner. Play your favorite songs for her and tell her all about the members and help her choose a favorite.
  • Question
    Can I be a real fan if I cannot afford merchandise?
    Community Answer
    You certainly can, you can draw a poster of them and stick it on your wall, print off some info from Google on a paper, try to memorise it and ask questions to your friends about them and tell them what you know. Best of all, listen to the music.
  • Question
    How do I do this if my family knows nothing about be being a Directioner and I'm just a k?
    Community Answer
    Hopefully, your family won't mind the fact that you like One Direction. You can like whatever music you like. If your family doesn't know who One Direction are, show your family! Show the music videos and funny moments and prove that the band members are good role models and idols. The rest is up to you and your family.
  • Question
    What should I do if One Direction doesn't come to my country for a concert?
    Community Answer
    You don't have to go to any of the concerts, as long as you like them and their music. Not every Directioner gets to attend a One Direction concert; that doesn't make them any less of a fan!
  • Question
    What should I do if my friend insults One Direction?
    Community Answer
    Tell her to mind her own business and tell her that if she can like whatever she wants that you can also and maybe even show her some of their newer songs and stuff to show her they're more than just their "What Makes You Beautiful" days. Or, just let it go because it's silly to fall out over a band.
  • Question
    What if my family tells me to leave the craziness of this fandom?
    Ruthanee
    Community Answer
    If you truly love One Direction and are proud to be a Directioner, then just ignore what your family says. You are entitled to have your own interests.
  • Question
    One Direction won't ever come back, they're all working on their solo careers. What's the point of being a directioner?
    WinterMelodies13
    Community Answer
    You shouldn't ever give up on One Direction. They have promised to get back together and you should trust in them. If they decide that for some reason they can't, you can still support them all as solo artists and fangirl over them when they all get together for some sort of gathering. If you truly care for them, you'll be able to keep calling yourself a Directioner when they're all solo artists.
  • Question
    What is the meaning of a "Directioner"?
    Community Answer
    A "Directioner" is a person who is a fan of the British/Irish boy band One Direction or its members. Many bands give their fans nicknames. For example, Justin Bieber fans are called "Beliebers."
  • Question
    I live in India and there isn't merchandise available to buy here. What do I do?
    Anamika Verma
    Community Answer
    You can buy it online, on websites like Amazon, Ebay, etc. You can even make merchandise by simply printing out facts, pictures, and other stuff related to One Direction. Get creative!
  • Question
    What should I do if my friend used to be a Directioner but she's not anymore?
    Community Answer
    Encourage her to be a Directioner again. Play her some songs she might not have heard before, and show her some funny and emotional One Direction videos. Show her the spirit of being a Directioner, and remind her that it's not just a fanbase, but a family!
  • Question
    I'm just a kid and can't go to concerts, buy merchandise and music, draw posters, etc. Can I still become a Directioner? If yes, how?
    WinterMelodies13
    Community Answer
    As long as you support 1D, you're a Directioner. Being able to have merch is just a nice bonus. You can search up One Direction news, print out pictures and use Youtube to watch concerts if you'd like.
  • Question
    We should watch their funny moments too, right? I watch them every day!
    Community Answer
    Definitely watch the funny moments. The boys are hilarious! All of them have a talent for comedy, and if they weren't famous singers, they could be famous YouTubers or something. I also watch the funny moments every day.
  • Question
    Why are Directioners so violent?
    WinterMelodies13
    Community Answer
    Not all Directioners are violent. For the ones that are, it may be a one-time thing, or they feel that they need to prove that they are true fans by sending death threats to anyone who disses their "babies." Most of the time, these people are Directionaters. And for the ones that just push and shove to try and get closer to the boys, remember that this is (usually) not harming anyone, they are simply trying to meet them (which is basically top of the bucket list for all Directioners).
  • Question
    How do I tell my friends that I am a One Direction fan when they're BTS fans and they call me lame?
    Community Answer
    Just tell them that you respect the fact that they like BTS, and they need to respect the fact that you like 1D. Friends don't have to like the exact same things. There are plenty of 1D fans in the world and there are plenty of BTS fans in the world. It doesn't need to be a competition and everybody should be able to get along.
  • Question
    I am a crazy directioner and I get jealous when someone else knows them like I do. Is it healthy?
    OakSocks
    Community Answer
    It's not unhealthy, but you should try to stop. Being like that classifies you as jealous. On the second hand, it's never a bad idea to broaden your horizons and learn more about One Direction.
  • Question
    What should you do if you're still really sad that One Direction split, and what if they never come back?
    OakSocks
    Community Answer
    Never give up hope. One Direction promised to come back. You can still love the members even if they aren't together at the moment.
  • Question
    How many songs should I know to be a true directioner?
    OakSocks
    Community Answer
    As many as possible! It's okay if you only know 10 to 15 (even less), but the more you know, the better of a directioner you'll be. However, knowing their music isn't only part of being a directioner. The most important thing is to love the boys for who they are.
  • Question
    What if my friend hates One Direction and I can’t convince her they’re good?
    OakSocks
    Community Answer
    Some people are just like that. the best you can do is keep faith in One Direction and ignore her if she says anything bad about our boys. Perhaps, one day, she will change her mind.
  • Question
    My friend is really scornful of me being a diehard Directioner. What can I say? She likes their music, but doesn't understand why I support them so much.
    OakSocks
    Community Answer
    Tell her that you like them for the same reason she likes her crush (if she has one). If she doesn't understand, then she might never, but keep on being a directioner and ignore her feelings about you doing that.
  • Question
    What if my interest in them is lost, but I want to go back to fandom? What should I do?
    OakSocks
    Community Answer
    Still listen to their music. You don't have to have a huge crush on them, but you can still like them. The fandom can be mean, so be prepared to not be allowed back in!
  • Question
    What if my friends hate One Direction and I love them?
    Community Answer
    Tell them to mind their own business. Tell them that they can like whatever they want and so can you! Show them some of their newer songs. Or just let it go. It's silly to argue over a band.
