General Discussion / How do I get people to understand why I spin?

    I've been spinning for a while, however I have been asked many questions like "I don't get it, what is the point?" and I try to explain it to them but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me stop annoying them (that isn't violent)?

    Ask them why they watch tv or why they go on the computer or why they do any of the hobbies they do, because it's something to do with your time and this one happens to be kewl

    I blogged about this question a while ago. I don't know if this can be condensed into a witty one-line comeback, but this is my best answer for people who say it's a waste of time: http://mattphilcarver.com/blog/pen-spinning-transcendence-ordinary/

    Why do you need to explain? You enjoy doing it and that should be enough! ;)

    Respond with "what's the point of anything?"

    Freakin Soren, getting all philosophical and shit. xD @Jadenizer4 You just gotta be like: "Bro. You jack off?" "uhm...yeah?" "Good. Then you play with your pen, and I'll play with mine." Edit: I'm running on 3 hours of sleep in over 2 days. #NoRegrets #UntilLater

    To be honest here, just tell them that you found it interesting and fun. It's your life, live it how you want to live it. Don't let the people around you make fun of you be the reason to stop pen spinning. I did the same thing and after a year later everyone at school knew me as the only kid that pen spins.

    Have they ever seen the vastness of talents and randomness known as YouTube??? You should respond with "I don't get your question. Really, I don't get that question in so many ways". Just my humble opinion.

    Why should you tell them? I would never go out of my way to satisfy someones need. Unless i fell like it

    Just ignore them or ''cos i want to'' with attitude. Once they realize you're not budging, then they'll start copying you. Well that's what 21% (actually 80% i just wanted to say 21) of my friends do when i spin.

    I tried that, but it doesn't seem to work. They're just like, "there's no point to it though!"

    Train you hands for the women, they'll pay you after, and you'll become famous cause they'll all be talking about your hands

    No one asked me back in high school cuz I was a xl33tbadassSPINNAx who got his respect. Anyways if I were asked I'd just answer trivially and say "I was born with this skill, I don't know how I do it"
