Re: Rant Thread: a recent fandom experience that irritated you
(Anonymous) 2013-02-20 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)Fandom friend meetup to see a new movie in the series that was coming out, just four of us. We all had to go to Friend A's location because she has bad social anxiety and cannot travel. Find out a day or two beforehand that now they have a family dinner so we have to leave earlier, and since we don't want to sit around in a train station for five hours, it means booking new tickets. >.< We get there, spend the night (not at their house, the other three of us have to rent a place because they can't handle having people in their house too long), that portion goes pretty well. Next morning I'm feeling pretty sick due to one of my meds, so I'm kind of out of it for a bit and let people know that I'm not feeling well. Apparently this is taken as me being hateful to personA. We go watch the movie, go to a coffeeshop, and personA (who's said maybe five words to me the entire day) decides we are awful and runs off to the bathroom to cry. They end up calling their mom to come get them, several hours early. Here's the real kicker to me, though: It's pouring rain, freezing, strong winds, in a city none of us know, nowhere near the train station, and they just leave us. Don't even offer a ride to the station, directions, even an umbrella. Not even a 'sorry'. We finally get to the train station and still have to sit around (soaking wet and freezing) for three hours until our train comes.
I was especially angry because this was a friend I had spoken to daily for almost a year, and yet they barely even said hi to me. And while I knew they had social anxiety, so do I! Not that bad, but I was still going way out of my comfort zone by visiting, and they *knew* that, and never - never, not even several days later when talking again on IM - did any of us hear a 'thanks for visiting' or a 'sorry for cutting it off'. *I* got told off by them and another for being snotty and mean and not catering enough to personA's needs! No one made any effort to be accommodating to me - not that I was really asking for it, but it would have been nice to be considered, especially when everyone else is moving heaven and earth to make personA feel comfortable.
I basically haven't spoken to them since and don't really plan on it, and I'm catching flak for that as well. I just feel so angry that I'm somehow seen as the person doing horrible things here and that anything I point out about them is just pushed aside as something 'they can't help'. And I feel pretty miserable losing one of my long time friends out of a small circle of friends.
