Pretty much this. Listening to a friend's venting is fine and all, but when every single conversation you have consist in them heaping their shit on you and then not even listening to whatever advice you may try to give, then something is just wrong and it's okay to back off. ESPECIALLY if this winds up making you feel guilty for being happy, which is wrong. No one should feel GUILTY for happiness.

Also, for me it gets extra weird when people I barely even spoke to once or twice in fandom decide to tell me the (usually incredibly sad) story of their life. I don't mean to sound rough or anything, but at the end of the day I really DO NOT WANT to hear some complete stranger's sob story while all I'm in the fandom for is having fun and relaxing.

I probably sound pretty damn insensitive, but oh well. I've been on both sides of this - went through a pretty dark time for several years - and even then I had enough sense to realize friends had no obligation to be my therapists, so let alone strangers in fandom.
