Transcript by OP

[fscom]

My friend has been deep into the same small fandom for years and I am kind of sick of hearing about the same three characters and how amazing they are and the same stories from this short miniseries. I hope they find a new fandom soon.

Secret because I feel like a bad friend thinking this way.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, like... if they are otherwise a good friend/they give you the chance to talk about your thing whether or not they're interested, your best best may just be to suck it up. Sometimes The Thing That Grabs Someone winds up being a miniseries, or a movie, or a stand-alone novel, and there really is only so much THERE, but the intensity and duration of the interest isn't in scale to that, and... it is what it is?

If your friend isn't normally super fragile about special interest stuff, of course, you *could* say 'hey, I'm kinda burnt out on X right now, can we talk about Y?'-- if there's a shared interest you can pivot to, or like... 'hey, actor from X is doing Y now, are you going to watch that next?', where like, you're not getting down on their thing, but you are just opening the door to focus on something else?

[(Anonymous)]

Nah. It's not being a bad friend to want a break from hearing the same squee, or to want a change of pace. I hope your friend is good about listening to your thoughts, at least.

[(Anonymous)]

No. You aren't a bad friend for not wanting to hear about the same thing all the time. Is your friend willing to talk about things unrelated to fandom, or at least willing to listen to you talk about things you find interesting?

(I have a strong suspicion about which show this is. FATWS, am I right?)

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. And this isn't even a fandom-specific thing, either-- it would be just as annoying if the only thing your friend wanted to talk about was gardening. It's about being cognizant of the person you're talking to and recognizing that they may not be as deeply into a thing as you are.
