Re: Sheltered fan rant

You're right, I know. And I know everything is relative, and people have different ways of looking at things. I guess I'm just frustrated at scads of teenagers feeling like they can relate to experiences that I'm pretty sure most of them have never been close to.

But I shouldn't be-- if it helps them feel less lonely and helpless with their situation, that's good.

I guess... I just wish I could talk about my situations in these fandoms without feeling like a freak. But that is kind of willfully stupid of me, because the majority of people won't ever have the kinds of experience I have, which is why they're so drawn to representations of terror and pain in creative media, because they can enjoy it from a safe distance and feel cathartic, without actually having lived it.

I'm sorry I'm just feeling stupid and lonely in fan space, because I can't talk about why I feel I relate to the characters, when lots of other people feel that they can.
