She ruined Homestuck for me

(Anonymous) 2011-07-31 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I used to be friends with a girl who loved Homestuck (she didn't talk about anything else). We were pretty close. Recently, I had to go through an extremely tough phase of my life (I still haven't quite gotten over it, but I'm feeling better), and I expected this friend to support me, because hey, that's what friends do, right? Wrong. Not only did she completely ignore me, she actually called me an attention whore. I felt like shit, and instead of trying to help me, she insulted me. Keep in mind that I had actually supported her whenever she was feeling down (I literally had to cheer her up one time she was feeling down because she didn't like her fucking haircut), and instead of helping me when I needed it the most, she fucking insulted me.

Now I hate the whole Homestuck fandom because of her. I know I'm being terribly unfair, but I can't help it. Everytime I see something related to Homestuck, I feel angry. The word itself makes me rage. :(

I can sorta relate. Something similar happened to me this year and these people who I had talked to and helped through difficult times conveniently dropped me for some asshole to keep themselves distracted from their own problems. It really pissed me off since I gone out of my way for them, like missed classes to talk to them and spent hours staying with them into the evening so they wouldn't feel lonely. I felt really used until I realized friends like that weren't worth spitting on.

Sucks that she ruined a fandom for you. But once you cut that person out of your life it gets much easier to move on and enjoy the things you used to love. Hope it gets better for you anon.

That sucks. I'm sorry. Some people (who am I kidding? A LOT of people) are self-absorbed. It's always about them and when it's not, then they don't care. I haven't spoken to a friend for about 8 months now because she's done that sort of shit one too many times. First real big offense was when a close relative of mine died. I told her about it and she invited me out for a walk which I thought was decent of her because I needed someone to talk to. I meet up with her and this guy is with her. She introduces him to me as her new boyfriend. He notices something's wrong because I've been crying and I tell him. He sympathizes and my friend starts talking about him. Her new boyfriend. About how they met, his job, his car, his family, everything. I tell her I'm not in the mood and she complains that's why she wanted to meet up with me. I say I'm going home and leave. 2nd offense, I had minor surgery. It wasn't a big deal and I recovered within 3 months. I bumped into her (and her boyfriend) and she asks me what I've been up to. I tell her about the surgery and she literally gives me the, "Oh, that's nice." reply and goes on to talk about her work or some stupid shit. Her boyfriend is the one who asked me if I was feeling better and was sympathetic. I knew after that I was done with her. I don't know why he was dating her. I'm pretty sure she was just using him for his car anyways. I also supported her whenever she was feeling down. I'd indulge her wanting to go out even though I was broke because it'd make her feel better. I went to her place to stay over and watch stupid movies after breakups. She's just selfish.
