Ugh, I have a sort of fandom friend who will be intensely obsessed with ONE thing and ONE thing only and it is the BEST thing ever and all they want to talk about why it's the BEST thing ever and then they just drop it like a hot potato for something else and is suddenly almost disdainful of it and kind of derisive towards me if I casually mention it.

I just don't get how you can be so passionate about something and identify with it so strongly then just start actively disliking it and mocking it.

The only downside to being obsessed is that sometimes people project what they wish would happen (it's already their "near-perfect" book/show/film trilogy) and don't take into consideration that maybe the author had other plans, then get upset when it becomes obvious that he or she did.

I've had friends just get derisive without the anger, or if not derisive awkward when you mention your old fandom, which makes me think they're either embarrassed, or they're just the sort of people who get really excited about things and then quickly lose all interest - projects, hobbies, jobs, etc. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's hard to befriend people like that through hobbies (or work or wherever) because once they're done, they're done.
