I'm sorry, OP, because that sucks, but...if the only thing you had in common was a love of fantasy, then yeah, they're gonna leave. You can't force them to want to talk about any of those other things anymore than they can force you to talk about fantasy books.

It sounds like it's time to move on, as hard and sad as it may be.

I hope you a,d your friend DO found common ground again, OP, but if you don't - you might want to ask yourself if they were really a friend if you don't have anything else to talk about except one specific genre of books.

Do you mind if I ask why you don't read fantasy books anymore?

I don't mean to sidetrack the conversation, but I'm curious as to why an entire genre of books is now untouchable when it sounds like you enjoyed them a lot before.

Maybe they got bored?

I'm not the OP, but I've moved away from fantasy books lately because the tropes have become tiresome to me. I can't say with certainty that I'll never read anything in the genre again, but for the time being, I'm "not reading fantasy anymore."

Sometimes people grow apart because they don't have much in common anymore. It's sad but it's life. Try to move on from it and maybe find some people who share similar interests.

I'm sorry, OP. Sometimes friendships end, even when you don't want them to. The good news is that this is normal and it happens all the time. You can't force your friend to talk about subjects she's not interested in (though tbh, it's her loss if she's only got ONE interest) but you can cultivate friendships with other people who are interested in what you're interested in.

Your friend might come around in time. Being obsessed with one thing is pretty immature, and most people take awhile to calm down and expand their horizons. But don't want for this to happen. Go talk to other people.
