I hadn't really been active in any fandom for years...except maybe random comments on YT on creators I'd followed/picked up since TGWTG days. Began reading fanfics occassionally a year or two before COVID. Joined fandom late 2020.

Sort of regret rejoining fandom. I made the decision to give it up a couple days ago. It's just too exhausting and isolating. Putting myself out there makes the loneliness a billion times more painful. Quietly observing or minding my own business only to dip in from time to time is super lonely but IDK it hits different. Like, at least when I'm quiet and ignorant to fandom it's because I'm not socializing. When I try to socialize and am met with silence/indifference/hostility </3 why did I make my presence known in the first place? All this to say...I get it OP. It's not easy living on earth.

Ughh, I get that. Honestly, I have never been great at socializing, online or IRL, but I managed to make a few friends back in the days. Maybe it's because I am older than the kids in my fandoms now, or maybe it's because internet has changed (nowadays there's no "forums" anymore, it's all "followers" and then there are bnfs with cults and others with no one to talk to!!) or maybe it's something else entirely, but I can't do that anymore I feel miserably isolated. Last time I tried was so bad that nowadays I make an effort to limit my "non-anonymous" online presence to a private twitter account with 50ish followers (most of whom don't speak my language) and a retro forum with 100ish active users.
In short: Thirding the feeling.
