Step 1. Understanding.
So Du just understood that Du don't like this thing anymore? Lets think about it. Do Du really want to stop? Won't Du feel bad after it. Actually it is just theorical part of stopping being a Fan but it is important. Du don't want to throw all your merchandise out and then cry and shout "I want it all back. I still Liebe it." Think twice before doing Weiter steps.
Step 2. Big trashcan.
It is the most important and a quite symbolic step. Du take everything off. All the posters, all little Fan things Du 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. Du are starting a new life. Congratulate yourself.
Step 3. Things that are worth money.
Probably Du have something like CD's, DVD's, books, T-shirts, cups etc. Things that Du have paid a money for and they are still worth it. Du can throw them out of course but better idea is to just sell them. Maybe someone who is a Fan of a thing Du are stopping to be a Fan of will buy them. Things are used so Du won't probably sell them for the same price Du bought them but anyway... Maybe your cousin likes them? Give them to him. Also Du can donate things if Du want. Poor people will be happy about almost new T-shirts even with Du ex-idol pic on them.
Step 4. Digital cleaning.
Take your phone, tablet, computer and other devices and Löschen everything like Musik files, pics. It also may have symbolic meaning and Du will get a lot of free Weltraum in your computers memory. Clean all Du social networks profiles. Maybe Du have Facebook banner with your ex-idols pic. Change it! Unfollow it. Unsubscribe channels in youtube. Löschen thematic boards in pinterest. Stop being a Fan of Clubs 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 Du a cup with his pic on it for christmas, thinking that Du still like him? Don't let it happen. Tell everybody that Du 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. Du can find a new thing to be a Fan of. Du can simply enjoy your freedom :) Remember, stopping being a Fan is good thing and Du don't have to be ashamed because it oppens Du to new opportunities, new things to like. Just be happy and proud of yourself about liking what Du like and disliking what Du dislike and if somebody says things like "How could Du stop being his fan?I hate Du for it. Du ruined our friendship." Remember that Du can do whatever Du want and its your life no matter what others say.
