Unpopular opinions was yesterday, let's do confessions today!

I'm in love with a character from my fandom.

I've been rewatching the Harry Potter movies with my mother lately, watching one movie every Saturday. Today we watched Half-Blood Prince and I only noticed about half way trough the movie that my mother had confused the order and we accidentally skipped Order of the Phoenix thinking HBP was the 5th movie.

I feel like such a fake fan.

The Harry Potter movies range from kind of okay (Prisoner of Azkaban) to pretty bad (most of the rest).

I'll still watch all of them, because I'm a horrible nerd, but they're really not very good.

I've spent most of this past week just eating, sleeping and masturbating.

The idea that every conservative is a selfish asshole makes me think of everyone in the Harry Potter books thinking every Slytherin is a selfish asshole.

I don't take people who don't capitalize properly or type out full words (e.g. "if u care abt this reblog") seriously. I know it's wrong, but I just can't break myself of it.

(reply from suspended user)

I've begun to realize the reason I haven't found a fandom I like has nothing to do with tumblr or LJ dying or anything else. It's that I continue to hold everyone to the same standards of the Harry Potter fandom, even though the Harry Potter fandom could be so cliquey and elitist. That's why the first time I went to a community where netspeak and off-topic discussion was allowed, I acted like I'd been thrown into a pit of doom. That's why I still can't find too many communities I like.

The thing is, when I was in the HP fandom, the cliques and occasional elitism was what bothered me the most. Apparently I was more like them than I realized.

I love my online friends but I can't stand meeting them face to face. Most of them gross me out.

Save for some music artists, I can not get into anything vaguely mainstream.

I have to stifle an overwhelming urge to correct anyone who spells "discreet" as "discrete."

It's weird because I don't have this urge with any other common errors or mix-ups, like you're/your or they're/their/there. It's only discreet/discrete that does it.

For several years now I've thought about how nice it would be to move away from most of my family (physically and a little communication-wise), mostly so I don't have to be kept up to date on family drama and don't become my own families family therapist. My immediate family isn't to blame for the drama but it just happens from/around their personal lives, and when I'm at college I don't get all that information so I kinda take solace in that since the drama magnets don't really talk to me all that much (and vice versa, not out of hate, just we've never really shared the same interests). But several months ago I came to the realization that while I do want to get away from the family drama, I think another reason for it, and I'm still not sure how prominent it is, is that I want to be missed and wondered about, like I want to know that they'll miss me when I'm gone. Compounding this is that I don't have that much of a social life and few friends, so if I were to do this I'd pretty much be isolated from other people. The more confession-y part of all this is that I'm not surprised or shocked with myself at this revelation, just more like "Huh, that makes sense."

Sorry for the tl;dr but I also can't think of a way atm to tl;dr that.

I feel superior to the people who judge me for only shipping white males because I work a low wage job and volunteer in my community in order to help women and those in need of financial assistance (which does, unsurprisingly, includes many non-white people).

Scam phone calls make me really nervous whether it's a real person or a recording.

One time I actually called a number and hung up when a creepy recording answered.

I get immensely frustrated with some of the black women in my fandom because they're constantly whining on how I don't understand what it's like for them when it comes to media representation and romance.

It pisses me off because:

1. I get WAY, WAY less representation than them
2. Not liking one particular character or romance doesn't mean I think all of them are bad. I just have some I like and some I don't. Like in Marvel -- I LOVE the hell out of Sam/Steve but I've never liked Tony and Rhodey together. Just like with white couples.

It makes me feel bad because I KNOW they have legitimate points. But the fact that they have it 1000% times better than me when it comes to media representation and that some of them lash out at anyone who disagrees with them (even if it's politely and with legitimate points) gets under my skin.

Everytime I want to go back to something that I played A LOT of, I feel like I can't since I feel like I mentally burned bridges with the game when I stopped playing it months/years ago. And it's not like I hate the games I want to try and get back into, it, to me, would feel awkward, like going back to that one thing/person/place/whatever that you left and thought you'd never come back to.

My social anxiety is a lot worse then most people are aware of. Part of the problem is it can be kind of random so there are certain things I'm fine with doing and others I delay to all hell and back because I'm so anxious about it.

I worry sometimes that I really can't take care of myself. I've gotten by living on my own but I don't think I'll survive to old age.

While awareness is good, I take people whose only engagement with activism is awareness spreading and maybe a pride parade or two, opinions on social justice with a grain of salt.

I cried today because I know that I have to go back to see my GP this week.

I know it's at least partly to do with my weird hormones but I feel like such a child. I'm 23 and I still hate being sick at all without my mum here, even though she's been dead for a decade and I should be used to it.

I think I'm getting worse too, and I don't know how to deal with that. I have paresthesia and I've been having myoclonic jerks and shortness of breath on and off for the past few weeks.

I don't want to burden anyone but I'm scared.

I don't rewatch or reread things. Never ever. Not even if I write fanfic for them. I just can't. So far the only exception is the TV canon of Murder Rooms, and I only started rewatching it a couple of days ago after some two years of not watching a single episode.

I mean, I guess this suggests that I may start rewatching/rereading other things in the future, but so far I've never done that. The only thing that saves me is that I have a very good memory and the quality of my fic doesn't suffer a lot (I'm a moderately popular writer in one of my main fandoms).

I'm a fucking doormat and I hate myself for that.

I've realized I tend to conform to the general style of posting of whatever space I'm in.

In female dominated spaces, I find myself being more emotional and judgmental.

In male dominated spaces, I find myself being more intellectual and detached.

I don't really like what this says about me, to be honest.
