Re: What are some lessons fandom taught you that you applied in real life?

[(Anonymous)]

The lack of social cues as feedback tends to exacerbate the issue, I think. But for some, I don't think they're self-aware enough to realize how awful and entitled they come off. The other problem is that the camaraderie of fandom can be a bit misleading for some people, so they think that because you watch the same show or write fanfic for the same show, you're BFFs and they get way too personal too quickly.

Sometimes that can just be loneliness, nonny. I speak as someone guilty of having done that before.

I think loneliness can be part of it, but I don't think that's the complete explanation. But I'm not just talking about accidentally chattering away at a total stranger because you're enthusiastic about something. I mean overstepping boundaries and expecting to be treated like someone's best friend simply because you're in close fandom proximity and have had two brief conversations.
