Bah, late to the party.

I could've written this, OP! It took me a while not to feel guilty about it (hell, sometimes I still feel guilty), but the truth is, I just don't enjoy reading other fics in the fandom I'm currently writing for. It has nothing to do with the quality of the writing. I just... can't, for various reasons I won't bother to list here (unless someone's curious).

If people can read without writing, I say people can also write without reading. It's all good. However you want to participate in fandom is fine.

You'd think writers would understand the need for feedback but it seems not, just write and never bother to support others. You never heard professional authors who brag about never reading, or musicians who brag about never listening to music, yet fanfic these days is all about isolation, write but never expect or want feedback and certainly don't bother to give it.

I read and comment on fic in fandoms I don't write for. But even if I didn't, why should I force myself to do something I don't want to do (and I mean the reading, not the commenting -- that's not my issue), something that's going to derail my writing and make me feel bad? It took me a while to realize that I was happier NOT reading. All I want to do is write. As far as I know, there's no rule against that.
