I've always wondered about these situations, when you're only seeing it through a single filter. Because ime...it's you, not them.

I have a couple of fandom friends who always tell these sob stories about how every nerd group they've been a part of eventually turns on them, shuns them, chases them out, becomes no fun, etc. They whinge about how their geek friends turn on them and no longer invite them to things. I used to always think wow, that's shitty, I'm sorry you're having a bad time and wonder how bad their karma was. And then I lived with one for a year.

It wasn't fandom, it was them. They were a horrible, insufferable person and I don't blame fandom friends for shunning them. I'm one of them, now, I cut them out of my life, no regrets.

So be careful, OP. It might be you. I really do hope you're not an insufferable person, though, and it really is them.

It can be tough to see a situation from the other side, that's very true. And really, if OP is as bitter and angry with their friends as this secret reads... well, maybe they need some space away from all that negativity. God knows I would.

Last year I fell for two people like that.
Presented themselves as victims, then turned out to be bullies themselves.

I hope OP is able to sort it out.

I think those people that really get shut out of everything, and not because they're manifestly awful, wouldn't paint the other people as dicks continually. They'd be hurt and confused, ask for advice a lot, and probably complain sometimes, but more about how bad they themselves were at social interactions.

I've got some friends like this. Thankfully they're not my fandom friends, although they are friends - but they present themselves as victims and I wanna shake them and go "i watched what happen, half of it was entirely you"

though I will say, even if they're not straight up insufferable dicks, just listening to someone who literally can only make conversations about how horrible they are and how eventually everyone leaves them... uh, kinda becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.

if all you can talk about is how everyone is eventually going to hate/leave you, how fun a friend do you think you are to hang out with?
