OP Here

(Anonymous) 2012-06-19 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I think it might be time to actually discuss this matter with my friend, anyway. Just to get this out here, I do not speak with my friend about the Avengers at all, she more or less sees my conversations between friends on the internet, and just finds an excuse at a completely different time to make a comment about my enjoyment of it. It's usually a nasty one, as well. All it really does it just make me angry. When I speak with her, I avoid the topic of Avengers, I even religiously tag the Avengers on my tumblr posts so they can be saviored on her end of tumblr. I do believe I post a whole lot of this material, and I am aware of how annoying it must be to listen about my obsessions. But for the most part I try and pull myself back and think about others, I really try to. And on occasion I do go overboard, and I won't shut up. I know I do. But I try my best to think about the other party involved and I go along doing the exact opposite next time.

My words don't matter, I just wanted to get that out there, really. Thank you for yours, I appreciate it.

Oh, thanks for the context! That does change everything.

Definitely try to talk to your friend.

The thing is, are you *sure*? I'm not asking to be dick - I'm asking because people don't always realize how much a topic they really enjoy slips into their conversation. But yeah, I'd suggest bringing this up with your friend - just, perhaps, try not to sound like your accusing her of anything. That'd probably just make her defensive.

OP again, You aren't a dick! I am sure. She told me before she didn't care for the Avengers and then I knew it was the end of that. I stopped after she told me that. But then, when I got a little more into the fandom with my other friends, she started with the snark. I wouldn't accuse her of it, anyways. It's not really her fault that she may be using a defense mechanism because she might be feeling left out. Thank you again.

True, but I meant more...using accusatory language. For example, using 'You always do *this* and you make me feel like X' instead of 'When you do this, it makes me feel x.'

Sounds like she is feeling left out, and is worried you're just going to ride off into the sunset with your new Avengers pals - which IS going to happen if she keeps overreacting. I think the next time she says something mean, stop her and say "wow, that really hurt me. What's got you so upset/"
