To be fair, I'm in fandom, and I have a friend who goes way overboard with fandom. Most of her conversations are about guys she likes or what current fandom she's in. Which would be great if I had either met the guys she's into or knew anything remotely about her fandoms. (Most of which are paranormal romances, which aren't my thing.)

Da, but again: talking about fandom a lot isn't a problem. Not even if that's the only thing they talk to you about.

Now, if your friend was building a shrine or something and sending actors used tampons while ignoring other responsibilities, that would be a problem. Just talking? Nope.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I disagree. If fandom is the sole thing that your friend is ever talking to you about...that's a problem. That's obsessive or just an awkward friendship where the one friend can't seem to find anything else to fill the space with. Either way, a problem.

I'd say the same thing no matter the topic. If there is only one thing that your friend talks about all of the time, that's not healthy.

Unless OP is exaggerating.

[(Anonymous)]

No, it means OP and this other person are fandom friends. Not, in itself, a problem, although it might seem that way if OP thinks they're just "friends."

Besides that: OP also says that it kills them that their friend only talks about fandom. I'm pretty sure they're exaggerating.

[(Anonymous)]

You're guessing that they're fandom friends. I did not interpret it that way.

[(Anonymous)]

da. I'd agree that complaining about a fandom buddy only talking about fandom would be silly; but the tone of the secret makes it sound like they're actual RL friends. When you're friends with somebody it's generally considered bad form to spend all the time you're hanging out together talking about things they have no/limited interest in: be it fandom, golf, horse racing, cars, fashion, politics, skydiving, stamp collecting or your cat's funny habits.

[poisonenvy]

Definitely was reading it as a RL friend/someone who isn't interested in the fandom in general. In which case, like was stated above me, definitely bad form to continue talking about something even after someone has said they're really not interested and would like to talk about something else.

Even if they WERE fandom friends, when someone says "I'm not interested, could we talk about something else" you should definitely try to talk about something else.

If OP is a random RL friend who isn't in fandom, how the hell did they find their way to FandomSecrets?

[bethynyc]

That's what I wanted to know. And also why are they *posting* here?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm assuming said friend either knows obsessed friend is super into fandom secrets or met said friend through fandom, became IRL friends, and now obsessed friend is in a completely different fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

i was also wondering this.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with this. If your friend is only focusing on fandom and cannot/does not want to do anything else, that is a problem. It's become an obsession and with most obsessions, can be quite unhealthy.

[(Anonymous)]

That may be so, but a lot of people that take their fandom obsession to that level are doing so because they have a miserable home life and are desperately clinging to something to keep them about water.
God forbid it's fandom and not something OP deems more worthy.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I disagree too. There are plenty of people out there, I'm sure, who don't mind constant chattering about fandom, and don't mind if that's literally their only interest. But my god, I personally find it boring as shit, and couldn't stand having close friends who have literally NO other interests.
