It's possible they took a more maternal/paternal interest in you than a "Yay, let's be bffs!" kind of interest. Combine that with enthusiasm for a shared fandom and it may have felt like there was a much stronger friendship connection than there really was. I interpret a lot of my early fandom friendships this way after the fact. I was in my late teens/early twenties and a lot of my fandom friends were in their thirties and forties.

Do you try to engage them on tumbler and Twitter and they ignore you or do you just friend/follow/whatever them and wait for them to contact you? If the former, then bummer and I suppose it's time to move on. If the latter, maybe you should drop them a line. (Do you share any of their new fandoms? That point of connection could help rekindle some old friendships and maybe now with the passage of time the age difference may not mean so much.)

OP here. Yeah. Tried to engage them via Tumblr, Twitter, etc. and they never replied. We have no new fandoms in common so that avenue is closed. I wasted all those years thinking it was a genuine friendships when it was nothing to them? I wish I knew that from the start.
