honestly it can be hard — I’ve had my fair share of difficult fandom friendships, but I’ve made a lot of genuine friends within them as well. I think the main thing is agreeing to disagree with certain things. a lot of people in fandoms are really opinionated and hate to be considered wrong or have people disagree with them & that’s what makes friendships difficult. I think finding a balance between and actual friendship and having that connection with your fav celebrity etc is the best way to go about fandom friendships tbh.
