Virtual hugs for you, OP.

I ..wish I knew what I was doing right, because I seem to have way too many fandom friends (who sadly all live ridiculously far away so meeting them in real life tends to be a problem). I was thinking about the ones who've stayed behind, and become closer friends, and realized that really it all comes down to relating something non-fandomy to them. We talk about our lives, our annoyances, our relationship woes, politics.. We just relate about other things than fandom, so even when I leave behind fandom, I no longer think about X fandom friend as "that girl from the UK who loves A/B pairing", but as "that girl from the UK who loves A/B pairing, and is very left-wing, and passionate about history".

Of course, there's still some people who I don't mind losing touch with, simply because we didn't talk that much, and I understand some people want to be very private with their interactions online. It also helps that for the most part, my preferences in fandoms, even when small, tend to be shared by others who like the canon.

I'll also say this: other people's friendships may appear wonderful and ever-lasting from the outside looking in, but I've also had some experiences where fandom friendships have been fraught with unpleasant drama and weirdness.

I'll stop rambling now..
