I love how so many of these comments are, "Just leave her the fuck alone to do what she wants!" It's not surprising considering this is Fandom Secrets and a lot of people who come here probably are a bit obsessed with fandom and fandom-y stuff.

Fandom is something that can absolutely consume someone to the point where they don't want to do anything with their lives other than fandom-related things. And that's totally unhealthy, just as any other obsession can be.

I once was friends with a girl who was a somewhat BNF in the fandom we shared. Her days were consumed with writing fic and drawing pictures for our fandom. We would RP, but she would always want to RP and not much else. If I didn't answer her back right away (we would RP via text) she would get upset. She didn't have a job because she didn't care to work. She only wanted to do what "made her happy," which was fandom. Fortunately for her, she had a husband who would bring in the money and take care of her (for who knows what reason) while she just happily spent her time contributing to the fandom. When I actually needed her to be there for me as a friend (which I thought we were) she let me down in a big way. She was selfish, fandom was consuming her entire life, and I finally just had to leave. We had a falling out and she eventually left the fandom we were in in order to, you probably guessed it, join another fandom. I have no doubt that the cycle is just repeating itself, considering her personality.

So although I don't know the whole situation with OP and her friend, it's obviously something that concerns her. Give OP the benefit of the doubt and don't write it off as if it's not some giant problem that her friend is only focused on fandom. It can happen, and it can be very unhealthy.

It can, but it's NOT THE NORM.

My mom thinks I'm addicted to the computer because that's where I spend my free time.

...Nevermind that I'm extremely allergic to anything with pollen, I have a bum leg and I work 40 hours a week at Wal-Mart, so when I get home, I want an activity that's off my feet but can still be fun. As well, all my friends are off at out-of-state colleges, so this is the only way we can all hang out.

It just means that the OP may not fucking understand.

You seem incredibly biased.

But the OP never said this was the norm. Zie said zie was observing worrying and tiresome behaviour from one specific person, that it's something beyond the norm is kind of the point.
