Re: Weird Fandom Anxieties

[(Anonymous)]

About 10 years ago, I got into fandom for the first time, and fell HARD. Like full-on obsession, thought about it every waking moment, posted pretty much 24-7 on Livejournal and fanboards about it, it was my whole life. That lasted 2 years, and I burned myself out on fandom in general from that.

Ever since, I've really loved certain shows and book series a whole lot, but I've never fully engaged with fandom at the same level because I'd think back to that first fandom experience and feel like, "Ugghhhhh, I don't have the energy to do that again!"

So I just lurk a lot. I still read a ton of fic, I follow a ton of fandom tumblr blogs, but I don't post meta or make original art or playlists or write, I don't make fandom friends...

And it kind of makes me sad, like I've deliberately cut myself off from a community that could be a lot of fun to engage with, so I do randomly post deeper things or my opinions about stuff...but then I don't get any response and I feel like I'm like some weird girl at a party that no one seems to know or understand what she's doing there.

But on the other hand, there's a lot of fucked up or just plain embarrassing stuff that goes on in fandom, and I'm really glad I can distance myself from that, so I don't necessarily want to engage on a more social level, either.

I don't know, I feel weird and uncomfortable a lot of the time.

As far as I can tell I think tumblr makes a lot of us feel this way, but it's also what makes it so accessible. It's kind of fucked up.
