I was in a similar situation once and it ended up souring me to that particular fandom, the canon it was based on, and even fandom in general for a while.

There were just a handful of us so it created this feeling of closeness, but also a lot of pressure. I felt like I had to read and comment on all of the fics, even if they didn't interest me at all or I wasn't in the mood, be very welcoming to the rare newbie we'd get sometimes, interact with everyone because we were friends, right?

It got to a point where I just couldn't do it anymore. Fandom had become an obligation I dreaded rather than something fun. I ghosted them completely and stayed away from anything fandom related for over a year, and by the time I re-engaged it was in a brand new fandom and only as a lurker. Nowadays the only fandom space where I truly interact with people is here, and only because I can do it on anon.
