I guess I've been going through this too, but it's been a gradual decline, and one that I've always reacted to with more bittersweet sadness than excitement or exhilaration (which is probably why it's been so gradual -- I've always resisted and tried to deny it, even though I could tell what was going on).

I recently went through this extremely crazy whirlwind in real life and dropped fandom stuff and sites entirely, which makes me actually really sad because fandom and particularly the friends I've met through fandom have been such a HUGE part of my life, and such an important part of who I am, and it's sad that being stimulated in real life means I can drop them at the blink of an eye, but I suppose that's just how life is.

It's kind of like how, when I move away from friends and make new friends, and then come back to meet the old friends, I can't help but feel sad that they're no longer a big part of my life, even though they helped make me the person I am today. It makes me sad that in a way, I've outgrown them.

*sigh* Sorry to be a bit of a downer!

It makes sense that online friends are easier to drop than IRL ones.

And just because you no longer participate in fandom, doesn't mean it doesn't matter anymore or that that part of your life was a waste - like you said, it was an important part of who you are. Even if it's not who you are now, it shaped you. You made some friends along the way. You probably learned a few things. And that's valuable. :)
