Signs that prove that you are a Grey’s Anatomy fan

You cannot accept if you see the Grey’s Anatomy characters in other series. Yes, it is just not in you to accept them as other characters in any other series. You will always refer to them as the character they played in Grey’s Anatomy because they have touched, changed and made your life so beautifully with their presence.

Whether it is your favorite lead or the patient you have been following for quite a while, or even if it is the nurse, when they die, a part of you dies too. Think about all those characters like Denny, Lexie, George, Mc. Steamy and finally even when Derek! You curse the director as much as you can but end up watching it to know more. The series is an addiction for you where you watch it day in and out even if you don’t see your favorite character anymore on TV.

More than once, you have tried and thought about changing your profession to Medicine. After all the glorious, tough, sucky chapters of all the interns you see on Grey’s, you also tend to think that it isn’t a big deal to after all be an intern in a Med school. You see open heart surgeries, more than ten brain surgeries, cancer treatments and so many complex cardio surgeries! It makes you hard and makes you think you have seen it all.

After watching Grey’s Anatomy, you wish to have a person for yourself too. Like how Meredith has Christina, you want to also have that extreme and undying love and care for one of your best friends. You want to make sure your person wants and needs you every time she is in trouble and vice versa.

You believe that Double 007 can only mean George from Grey’s and not anyone else. Not even James Bond. People may probably cringe at the idea, but you are proud that you are a Grey’s Anatomy fan and so you don’t really care what they judge you.

More often things untold are more understood than being explained to them. You always wonder if your boyfriend, husband, friends or even colleagues can understand what pain you are going through than you telling them every time. Like how Stevens tells ‘I know’ to George, or like how Baily talks to the chief understanding what he feels. It sure is a great feeling, right? Do you have someone who can understand that you like?

You know who is Dr. Grey and who is Little Grey and you love them both unconditionally. You always want things to work out great between them and you love Lexie, no matter how many times she does a mistake.

You probably hate Shonda Rhimes to death and you have a million questions to ask her about why she did this and that. But, without her, you won’t get Grey’s Anatomy and you know that also. You probably want to ask her why she keeps killing all your favorite characters. She is probably the person why you don’t have all the nice feelings inside of you.

You are always emotionally attached to Grey’s Anatomy. Every time you see an episode that makes you cry, you swear you won’t watch another one, but all you end up doing is watching it again and again. You are so addicted to it, that you know all the character’s names, their age, their relationship with the other characters and much more about them. You have probably even searched their personal life in the Wiki and you want to be connected to them in all means.

They survived the shoot, the plane crash, the endless mishaps in their personal life and they kept going. You hope to earn from them and make sure you go ahead and march towards what is destined for you, You end up feeling dark and twisted, yet you have the hope of finding the Derek somewhere for the Meredith in you! There is no better show in this genre for you and if you feel all of this, you are definitely a Grey’s Anatomy fan.
