To be fair, 600x600 px isn't really all that much room to go into details, especially if you don't want the secret to turn into a giant wall of text. The stuff in the secret is a pretty decent summary for either direction.

Though personally, when I read "I told her it's annoying, and that she's saying weird stuff, but she won't listen", I assumed OP meant they were concerned about the friend's inability to realize that the person they are conversing with is either bored or even uncomfortable with what she is talking about, not that the OP themself was annoyed.

This is a problem I've actually encountered a lot in RL - people will get so deeply involved with something, they start to fail to realize that the people around them are uninterested or uncomfortable. Most of the time, just bringing it to their attention gets them to adjust, but I've also seen those who completely fail to comprehend that the rest of us aren't interested in what they are talking about or doing.

I'm in college so I mostly interact with these people at school, but this behavior does genuinely make me worry about how they are going to function in the 'real' world - especially since most of them also seem to have a lot of trouble with grades and such, which suggests that their obsession with fandom is eating into real-life obligations like schoolwork (which does not bode well for their ability to handle an actual job down the road). :(
