There are degrees of investment. And just like everything, you can sometimes have a little too much.

[(Anonymous)]

I know all the comments seem to be leaning this way, but I don't think this is what the OP is talking about at all.

I'm "too invested" because I write fan fiction. That is the sin. I'm in fandom and that makes me too invested to people. Why waste my time on fan fiction when I could write original fiction and make money? Never mind that the people who say this spend hours drawing fan art or playing video games.

I would never "waste my time" playing video games that get me no where. Writing is at least teaching me a skill. (But I can actually make a lot of arguments for video games teaching skills.)

I don't play video games not because they stupid or for teenage boys who've never been laid. I don't play them because they don't interest me. Writing interests me. I don't write because I'm a thirteen year old girl without any friends.

And as I pointed out in a comment above: all these people who "have no lives" obviously do have lives. It isn't that anyone "doesn't have anything better to do" because everyone has way too much to do. It is about doing what you want to do without being made fun of for it.

Well yes but I would not consider that to be one of the "bad" degrees of investment. Like I said there are degrees ranging from watching a TV show to SCREAMING AT EVERYONE BECAUSE THEY DON'T SHIP WHAT YOU SHIP AND YOU HOPE THEY DIE IN A FUCKING FIRE. On a scale of one (being watching a show) to 50 (CAPSLOCK fan), fanfiction writing to me is a 20.

But when you're writing fan fiction all the time and can only eat, sleep and breathe fan fiction and fandom 24/7, then yes, you do have a problem and you are too invested.
